Stefan Stefanescu is a renowned endodontist recognized for his exceptional contributions to the field of dentistry. He graduated from the University of Carol Davila Bucharest(Romania) in 2001. Before relocating in the UK he worked in several practices in Romania with special interest in Endodontics, Prosthetics and Esthetics. In 2009 he graduated PG courses in Implantology at Victor Babes University of Medicine Timisoara, being awarded the PGCert in this field. From 2010 he dedicated himself to postgraduate courses and research in the field of Endodontics, developing his skills so he‘s got to be a trainer in Endodontics and Prosthodontics on courses hold by prestigious names of European dentistry, having notable contributions to some scientific papers published in Switzerland, Romania, France, Australia, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Italy. He started working in the UK in 2018, in mixed practices, covering all aspects of Dentistry, focusing more on Endodontics and Restorative Dentistry. He specialized in endodontics, pursuing a Master’s program in Endodontology at Chester University, graduating in 2021. With his expertise centered on performing root canal treatments, he has established himself as a leading authority in the field. Currently based in Liverpool, Dr. Stefanescu’s practice focuses exclusively on endodontics, allowing him to provide comprehensive and specialized care to his patients.

Dr. Goran Popović is continuously improving his professional skills in the field of oral surgery, implantology, implant prosthetics, aesthetic dentistry and digital dental medicine. He completed the postgraduate studies of Master of Science in Oral Surgery and Implantology at the International Medical College in Münster. He attended additional professional training with internationally recognized lecturers in the fields of prosthetics, aesthetic dentistry, smile design and digital therapy planning. He focuses his special professional interest on implant therapy, CBCT diagnostics, digital planning, aesthetic-prosthetic rehabilitation and the application of modern digital protocols in everyday clinical practice.
Throughout his professional career, Dr. Goran Popović has gained significant clinical, organizational, and managerial experience while working within the system of one of Croatia’s largest dental polyclinics, where he was a co-owner for several years. In addition to his daily clinical work, he was involved in operational management, leading multidisciplinary teams, patient communication, and planning complex implant and prosthetic treatments. Today, he focuses his professional efforts on developing his own clinical practice, with an emphasis on digital diagnostics, implantology, and a personalized approach to patient care.
Dr. T. Gonidis graduated from the Department of Dental Technology of technical university of Athens in 2007 and continued his studies at the Dental School of Athens. In 2015, he completed the three-year Master's program specializing in Prosthodontics at the University of Athens. Until today, he is active as a Scientific Associate of the Prosthetics Department of UOA. In 2013 he started his private practice in Maroussi. He is the vice-president in the Board of Directors of the Digital Prosthodontics Club, member of the Hellenic Prosthetic Society and the European Society of Osseointegration. He has authored and participated as a speaker in local and international conferences while he is involved in the training of dentists regarding Prosthodontics and Implantology. His scientific works have been published in international scientific journals. His recent fields of activity are the digital impression and design of prosthetic restorations, as well as the development of a protocol for bonding ceramic restorations.

This lecture presents a comprehensive, step-by-step workflow that guides the clinician through the entire smile design process – from initial analysis to final execution. We will discuss the principles of smile aesthetics, and the role of wax-ups and mock-ups in planning, patient communication, and outcome visualization. The lecture explores how harmony can be achieved between white and pink aesthetics, and how this can be integrated into a stable functional framework.
A long-lasting and truly aesthetic result is built upon the unity of well-understood function and precisely designed aesthetics. The presentation will outline the analytical steps and protocols that enable predictable and durable smile reconstructions.
This time, the focus will be on indirect restorations: beyond the planning phase, we will take a detailed look at the veneer workflow, emphasizing the coordination between laboratory and clinical procedures, as well as the fine details that ensure a natural, harmonious, and lasting smile.
Through a series of clinical cases, we will demonstrate that while every situation is unique, the key to success remains the same: a well-structured, consistent, and thoughtful workflow – the “Blueprint to Beauty”.
One of the limits of endodontics is the naturally blocked canal. In some cases, when it is located superficially, it can still be accessed without the risk of perforating the tooth or wasting the hard dental substance. The advance of technology and the application of medical imaging principles in dentistry have extraordinary benefits.
We know that most often a tooth begins to calcify following trauma. These can be a ball strike or the collision of the tooth with a cup that we have brought too close and suddenly ripped off the tooth in question.Calcification is a complex process that can last 10-15 years. But once started, the process can only be stopped by root canal treatment. Why is treatment needed? Because in a large number of cases, these teeth become necrotic.
Guided endodontics represents the latest frontier of endodontics, or if you prefer, the latest application of imaging in endodontics, which leads to the resolution of the unknown of calcified canals.

Dentistry is entering a transformative era driven by artificial intelligence, data science, and advanced imaging technologies. This keynote explores how AI is reshaping diagnostics, treatment planning, preventive care, education, and patient engagement across the global oral healthcare ecosystem.
The lecture examines the evolution from reactive dentistry to predictive and preventive models powered by machine learning and real-time image analysis. It highlights the development of clinical-grade AI systems capable of detecting early-stage caries and periodontal disease using intraoral imaging and discusses the importance of high-quality, diverse datasets in building reliable and ethical diagnostic tools.
Beyond technology, this session addresses the human dimension of AI in dentistry. It explores how artificial intelligence augments clinicians rather than replacing them, enhances decision-making, improves efficiency, and expands access to care for underserved populations worldwide.
Drawing from clinical experience across multiple countries and hands-on AI model development, this talk presents a clear vision of how intelligent systems, smart devices, and scalable digital platforms will redefine preventive oral healthcare in the coming decade.
Modern dental diagnostics require a proper assessment of when a two-dimensional panoramic radiograph suffices and when a three-dimensional CBCT analysis alters the treatment plan. The panoramic radiograph remains a vital tool for the initial assessment of dental status, general orientation, patient communication, and the identification of basic pathological or anatomical findings. However, for implant planning—specifically when assessing bone volume, relationships with the mandibular canal, maxillary sinus, and buccal plate, as well as resorption and complex endodontic or surgical scenarios—a 2D image is often insufficient. CBCT enables a more precise evaluation of anatomical structures, safer procedure planning, and a better explanation of treatment options to the patient. The aim of this lecture is to present a practical clinical decision-making algorithm: when to use a panoramic radiograph, when CBCT is indicated, and how to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure.
