Milan, a city that has long set global standards in beauty, style, and creativity, will become the center of modern European Aesthetic Dentistry in Spring 2026.

Join us in May as Milan brings together the leaders of contemporary Aesthetic Dentistry from around the world, including Galip Gurel, Francesca Vailati, Daniel Edelhoff, Andrea Ricci, Leonardo Bacherini, and Stefano Conti. These world-renowned experts will present the most advanced and up-to-date protocols and innovations in clinical practice.

The lectures during the congress will cover various topics, including:

– The evolution of zirconia in aesthetic dentistry
– The digital patient journey based on years of clinical experience
– Combining aesthetics and function with the MIPPs concept in a fully digital approach
– The digital implementation of the VERTICAL FREEDOM BOPT concept
– The latest advancements in the APT concept by aesthetic dentistry pioneer Galip Gurel
– Treatment of pathological tooth wear using the 3STEP method by Francesca Vailati.

Step into the city of design and elegance to explore the newest approaches, from digital workflows to minimally invasive protocols, and gain the insights to elevate your clinical practice to the next level.

See you in Milan — where dental aesthetics meets clinical innovation!

PROGRAM

Daniel EDELHOFF

The Evolution of Zirconia Ceramics – From Traditional to Gradient Technology

– Classification of various types of zirconia ceramic according to their composition
– Identification of mechanical and optical properties of different zirconia types as selection criteria for correct indication
– Selection of suitable luting modes for different applications
– Translation of these facts into clinical usage based on results of clinical studies.

Andrea RICCI

The Digital Patient Journey

– A unified aesthetic-functional digital protocol for aesthetic rehabilitations.

Francesca VAILATTI

Beyond Tooth Wear: A New Vision of Occlusal Function Description

– Understanding tooth wear as a sign of functional disharmony rather than bruxism
– Identifying and interpreting clinical signs of occlusal instability
– Applying the 3STEP method for minimally invasive, adhesive rehabilitation
– Restoring occlusal balance through functionally guided treatment
– Integrating function and aesthetics for long-term, predictable results.

Leonardo BACHERINI

Combining Aesthetics And Function With MIPPs (Minimally Invasive Prosthetic Procedures): The Digital Approach

– Protocols of aesthetic analysis for optimal prosthetic integration
– Functional analysis to avoid failures in challenging cases
– Optimization of all steps using digital tools and software
– Identification of the most critical steps and ways to facilitate the procedure
– Clinical management of rehabilitation steps to ensure minimally invasive treatment.

Stefano CONTI
VERTICAL FREEDOM BOPT Concept – All Digital with New Concepts

— Vertical vs. Horizontal Tooth Preparation
— Vertical Tooth Preparation:

- Step-by-step reduction of the clinical crown
- Intrasulcular reduction and the Horizontal Supracrestal Space concept
- Provisional relining: timing and design.

— New Emergence Profile:

- Establishing a new prosthetic cemento-enamel junction (PCEJ)
- Soft tissue management using a prosthetic approach
- Crown cervical contour and soft tissue response.

— Defining the New Crown Margin:

- Analog workflow
- Fully digital workflow
- Laboratory procedures
- Try-in
- Cementation.

— Implant Placement with Vertical Freedom
— Biological-Prosthetic Algorithm:

- Soft tissue thickness and simplified implant placement
- Apical-coronal freedom
- Vertical platform switching
- Biodynamic soft tissue shaping concept.

Galip GUREL

Analog vs Digital Approaches to Smile Design

— Importance of the mock-up
— Difference between the mock-up & final wax-up (APT)
— Precision of tooth preparation through APT
— Advantages of provisionals with the RSVP technique.
