“Oral tissue regeneration is moving to the centre of dental practice worldwide”

How are young professionals involved in the symposium programme?
Dr Heitz-Mayfield: They have been active from the very beginning. The next-generation team helped to shape the programme by designing sessions and workshops specifically for early-career clinicians. Also, early-career clinician and researcher Dr Jeniffer Perussolo is part of the scientific committee, ensuring that the perspective of young dentists is firmly embedded in the programme.
Prof. Sculean: Young professionals will also be on stage as co-moderators with senior experts. That mix sparks lively discussions and ensures that fresh perspectives are part of the dialogue.
Dr Heitz-Mayfield: We have also made sure that the event is accessible. The symposium is offering a reduced fee for young professionals, allowing early-career participants to save up to 75% on registration—an unprecedented opportunity to engage with high-level education.

Will the programme offer a global perspective?
Dr Heitz-Mayfield: Very much so. More than 90 renowned speakers from around the world will be joining us. We have also worked closely with our global partner organisations such as the European Federation of Periodontology and American Academy of Periodontology, which will present treatment guidelines and consensus papers. This will ensure that participants benefit from the latest science as well as from internationally recognised recommendations across all indications in oral tissue regeneration.

Why should dental professionals attend this in-person congress when there are so many short online events?
Prof. Sculean: One word: community. Online events are valuable, but nothing can replace the energy of being in the same room, sharing ideas, exchanging experiences and building networks. Oral tissue regeneration is moving to the centre of dental practice worldwide, and this congress offers a front-row seat to that transformation.
