Ten editions ago, ImplantoDays was just a dream—a vision fueled by the belief that implantology needed more than a stage for presentations. It needed a space where learning meant doing, where experts became mentors, and where innovation was not just discussed but experienced.

We have always believed that progress comes from dedication, authenticity, and the courage to push boundaries. From day one, our mission has been clear: to create a learning experience that is real, immersive, and built for those who never settle for less than excellence.

What began as a small gathering of professionals hungry for more has grown into a movement—a place where knowledge is shared freely, where breakthroughs happen together, and where implantologists at every stage of their journey find not just education, but a community.

To those who have been with us from the start – thank you. Your passion, your trust, and your relentless pursuit of growth have shaped ImplantoDays into what it is today.

To those joining us for the first time – welcome. You are stepping into something bigger than an event. You are becoming part of a legacy of learning, excellence, and innovation.

This 10th edition is about all of us. It’s about honoring the past, embracing the present and shaping the future of implantology – together.

Be part of this journey. Join us in Poiana Brașov, June 5-7, 2025.

        Let’s celebrate excellence, together.

        Prof. Dr. Bodan Bâldea – Decision making for complex implant rehabilitation

        In modern implantology, screw-retained implant-supported restorations have become the preferred solution for extensive oral rehabilitations. Driven by marketing and patient expectations, a single dominant approach has emerged as the go-to method for treating full-arch edentulism—often seen as a universal solution.

        However, complex cases require more than a standardized approach. This session will delve into the key decision-making principles that guide clinicians in choosing the most predictable and patient-specific implant rehabilitation strategies.

        Join this session to refine your clinical decision-making process and gain deeper insight into selecting the most effective implant rehabilitation strategies for each patient.

        Dr. Alexandru Spînu – GBR vs Bone Block

        Successful bone augmentation requires precise decision-making, advanced techniques, and structured protocols to ensure predictable outcomes. This session will cover bone defect classification, GBR vs. Bone Block strategies, flap design, graft selection, and soft tissue management, all essential for long-term implant stability. Participants will gain hands-on experience in handling grafting materials, fixation systems, and tension-free suturing techniques, refining their approach to complex augmentation cases. Master the key surgical steps, optimize treatment timing, and ensure reproducible success in bone regeneration.

        Graham Blackbeard – Bioengineering of the dental implant system

        The long-term success of implant restorations depends on a deep understanding of biomechanics, material properties, and biological interactions. This session will explore the role of bite force, elasticity modules, and surface engineering in optimizing implant stability and performance. Key topics include the impact of zirconia in bolted joints, ion release in immune-compromised patients, and bacterial control strategies to reduce peri-implantitis risks. By refining material selection and surface modifications, we can create stronger, more stable, and biologically resilient implant systems for lasting clinical success.

        Dr. Leonardo Bacherini – Combining aesthetics and function with minimally invasive prosthetic procedures: The digital approach

        In modern prosthetic rehabilitation, achieving the perfect balance between aesthetics and function requires a tailored approach. Whether dealing with minor esthetic corrections or complex cases of pathological tooth wear, the right strategy is essential to ensure long-term success.

        Join Dr. Leonardo Bacherini as he explores how digital tools can revolutionize diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution in minimally invasive prosthetic procedures. This lecture will provide practical insights into optimizing aesthetic and functional parameters while reducing risks of failure.

        Prof. Dr. Mauro Fradeani – A 40-Year experience on esthetic rehabilitation: The evolution of clinical approach and techniques

        Achieving predictable, long-lasting esthetic rehabilitations requires more than just technical skill—it demands a systematic, time-tested approach. With over 40 years of experience, Dr. Mauro Fradeani has perfected a clinical workflow that integrates minimally invasive prosthetic procedures (MIPP), ensuring optimal esthetic, functional, and biological outcomes.

        In this lecture, Dr. Fradeani will demonstrate how vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) modification allows for conservative full-mouth rehabilitations, reducing invasiveness while maintaining structural integrity. Through precise material selection and advanced bonding techniques, clinicians can now achieve highly resistant and durable restorations without the need for aggressive preparation.

        Dr. Ricardo Kern – Papillary reconstruction: The status quo of interproximal vertical manipulation in implants

        The interproximal papilla is a crucial element in both the aesthetic and functional success of implant-supported restorations. Beyond preventing unsightly black triangles, well-preserved papillae enhance patient satisfaction, improve hygiene accessibility, and protect periodontal structures from long-term complications. However, reconstructing papillae around implants remains one of the most challenging aspects of modern implantology.

        Join Dr. Ricardo Kern as he explores the latest surgical and non-surgical techniques for interproximal papilla regeneration, addressing both anatomical considerations and clinical innovations. This session will provide evidence-based insights into achieving optimal soft tissue integration and long-term stability.
