1st ICBI Global Congress 2026 - Ticket (2 days)

The 1st ICBI Global Congress (October 23–24, 2026, Zurich) explores two transformative forces in implantology: practical AI applications for marketing and patient communication, and the latest scientific advances in ceramic implants—including the exclusive debut of the 2025 ICBI Consensus Conference findings. As well as two landmark studies which will have their debut in Zurich: 5-year+ data from 360 immediately loaded ceramic implants—and the launch of a standardized multicenter protocol to finally close evidence gaps in ceramic implantology. One delivers proof. One builds the future.
