ESE Autumn Meeting 2026 in Vilnius: From Research Insights to Clinical Excellence in Endodontics

The ESE Autumn Meeting 2026, organized by the European Society of Endodontology (ESE) in cooperation with the Lithuanian Society of Endodontology, will take place on 23–24 October 2026 in the historic and charming city of Vilnius, Lithuania. The theme of this edition — “Diagnostic Considerations & Treatment Solutions: from research to practice” — reflects the event’s ambition to bridge the latest scientific developments with everyday clinical application in endodontic care.

Unlike many large-scale congresses, the Autumn Meeting retains an intimate format deliberately designed for thoughtful exchange and focused learning. The programme features a single-track plenary hall to keep the focus sharp and encourages deep engagement through a mix of research presentations, clinical talks, and — for the first time — a dual clinical, education and research poster session on both days of the congress. Esteemed international experts will present paired lectures on identical topics — one from the clinical perspective, the other from the research viewpoint — allowing attendees to compare evidence-based science with real-world practice in endodontics.

Participants can expect a comprehensive update on biological, mechanical, and material sciences as they relate to endodontics, complemented by the latest clinical insights and techniques. The event emphasizes evidence-based practice, aiming to illustrate how contemporary research informs diagnostic decisions and treatment choices — from irrigation and instrumentation to obturation and regenerative approaches. Beyond the scientific exchange, the Autumn Meeting offers the valuable opportunity for international networking among endodontists, researchers, postgraduate students and industry partners, fostering collaboration that can shape the future of root-canal therapy across Europe and beyond.

By choosing Vilnius — a city rich in history and culture — for its 2026 gathering, the ESE invites its members and all interested endodontic professionals to immerse themselves not only in pioneering endodontic science but also in an inspiring environment that encourages dialogue, reflection and new professional connections.

For anyone involved in endodontics — whether as a clinician, researcher, postgraduate or industry stakeholder — the 2026 ESE Autumn Meeting promises an essential, high-quality convergence of evidence, innovation and collaboration.
