Participation in conferences on this scale is essential for medical university instructors. The Congress discussed modern approaches in endodontics, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, dental restoration, periodontics, dental prosthetics and dental implantation, interrelation between diseases of the oral cavity and systemic diseases, and applying digital technologies and AI in dental practice. We got to know colleagues from various countries, expanded our professional contacts, and thus gained new opportunities for growth for both instructors and students.

The Congress included an international dental exhibition showcasing advanced technologies in dental science and practice. The exhibition focused on the training of future dentists, presenting modern training simulators and mannequins, including digital and AI-based ones. Digital equipment and devices, laser technologies, and AI in dentistry were presented for dental practice. University employees gained a detailed understanding of new technologies and global standards for dental clinics. Participation in the Congress and exhibition allowed them to strengthen international connections, learn about the latest scientific and technological achievements, and contribute to the development of global dental policy.
