The European Endodontic Congress. "Standard" option

A must-attend event for endodontists of all experience levels!

Florence, the city with breathtaking art, architecture, and history, brings together the specialty’s most influential names: Arnaldo Castellucci, Gianluca Plotino, Antonis Chaniotis, Enrico Cassai, and special guest from the USA, Stephen Cohen. 

Each lecturer will share his clinical experience, insights for 2026, and, most importantly, secrets and tips that will elevate your practice to a whole new level!

During the congress, you will learn about:

— The American standards of One-Visit endodontic treatment
— Application of the RECIPROC® Minima file system using the one-file approach in all endodontic scenarios
— Minimally invasive approaches with the Italian touch
— Application of 3rd generation apex locators and the newest ultrasonic tips by Woodpecker
— Management of curved and splitting root canal systems from A to Z.

This congress is a step toward advancing your clinical expertise, staying at the forefront of endodontic innovation, and connecting with the leading minds in the field.

IMPORTANT: the “Comfort” and “VIP” participation options are also available for purchase.

Basic advantages of the “Standard” option:

– Participation in the scientific program
– Coffee break
– Notes and handouts
– Certificate of participation
– ADA credits available upon request.
