Istanbul, from September 12 to 15, prepares to receive the global dental community at the IED World Dental Congress, one of the most anticipated events in digital dentistry. This event, due to its relevance in the industry, will be held in two emblematic venues: the Istanbul Congress Center (ICC) and the International Center for Conventions and Exhibitions Lütfi Kırdar of Istanbul (ICEC), both connected in the “valley of Congress” of the city.
Under the theme “Bridging Innovation and Perfection”, the event seeks not only to advance dental science, but also to strengthen collaborative ties worldwide. Co-organized with the Turkish Dental Association, this congress marks the return of Istanbul as the epicenter of dental excellence, recalling its last edition in 2013 that attracted more than 16,000 participants.
Knowledge and advances in digital dentistry
It is shaping as a historic meeting with more than 150 sessions and 144 credits of continuing education. Attendees will have access to cutting-edge research and innovative practices in digital dentistry, distributed in various parallel rooms ranging from multidisciplinary approaches and clinical decisions, to the integration of artificial intelligence in dental practice.
The carefully structured program will include international and local stands, sessions led by the IED, and unique opportunities for practical learning. In addition, the members of the dental team will have their own stage, which will include presentations in the format of electronic posters and free communications.
Innovations and young voices in the congress
One of the highlights will be the symposium of the Society of Digital Dentistry, which will examine how digital technologies are revolutionizing implantology and dental prosthetics. Experts such as Prof. Simona Tecco and doctors Henriette Lerner, Francesco Mangano, Carlo Mangano and Giuseppe Luongo will lead this exploration of the trends that shape the future of the profession.
The Young Dentists Forum will also become a key space for the new generation of professionals, with Dr. Miguel Stanley at the head of a three-hour leadership session, designed especially for young dentists and students, encouraging dialogue and the exchange of innovative ideas.
Artificial Intelligence in the Center of Modern Dentistry
Another fundamental session will focus on the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in digital dentistry. This space will address the impact of AI on precision dentistry, including the analysis of dental images and the use of natural language models such as ChatGPT in dental education. Professor Falk Schwendicke, Professor Reinhilde Jacobs and Dr. Sergio E. Uribe will guide attendees through the challenges and opportunities presented by this emerging technology.
Exploration of Innovation in the Dental Exhibition
The congress will also feature a vast exhibition, where about 150 exhibitors will present the latest trends and products in digital dentistry. This sample will be a invaluable opportunity for attendees to interact with industry leaders and explore cutting-edge solutions.
The event promises to be a milestone in digital dentistry, uniting innovation, education and the opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the world in an event that anticipates exceeding all expectations.
