AID proudly presents the third edition of its flagship scientific seminar, a comprehensive two-day educational program focusing on contemporary diagnostic concepts and recording techniques in modern prosthodontics.
The seminar will take place at the prestigious Eugenides Foundation in Athens, Greece, on May 8–9 2026, bringing together distinguished national and international speakers who will share evidence-based approaches, advanced technologies, and clinically oriented treatment protocols.
Scientific Concept & Educational Objectives
Modern prosthodontic rehabilitation requires a deep understanding of stomatognathic system function and the ability to effectively integrate analog and digital workflows.
The program has been carefully designed to provide a structured and high-level learning experience covering:
-
Physiology and pathology of occlusion
-
Comprehensive clinical examination and treatment planning
-
Analog recording of functional and occlusal parameters
-
Creation and utilization of the Digital Patient
-
Contemporary digital diagnostic techniques and data acquisition protocols
-
Transition and interaction between analog, digital and hybrid workflows
-
Clinical application of diagnostic registrations in cases of varying complexity
Special emphasis will be placed on clinical decision-making, effective communication with the dental laboratory, and improving the predictability and long-term success of prosthetic restorations.
International Perspective & Innovation
With the participation of internationally recognized speakers and the integration of cutting-edge digital technologies, the seminar offers a dynamic environment for knowledge exchange and professional development.
Participants will gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of prosthodontics and acquire practical tools that can be directly implemented in daily clinical practice.
Target Audience
The seminar is addressed to dentists and dental technicians who wish to:
-
Enhance their diagnostic thinking and clinical reasoning
-
Successfully integrate digital technologies into their workflow
-
Improve accuracy and predictability in prosthetic treatments
-
Elevate the overall quality of patient care and treatment outcomes
The AID flagship seminar has now become an established scientific event, attracting professionals committed to continuous education, clinical excellence, and evidence-based practice.
