SYMPOSIUM 2027
Soft Tissue Management,
the key to improve your daily practice
Mastering Esthetic Tissue Reconstruction Around Teeth and Implants:
The Brazilian Way
The SYMPOSIUM 2027: Soft Tissue Management, organized under the prestigious Massimo & Friends brand, is the benchmark clinical and scientific event designed to take your daily practice to the next level. From February 11th to 13th, 2027, the stunning Villa Vittoria Palazzo dei Congressi in Florence will open its doors to gather the world’s leading figures in periodontology and implantology. During these days, attendees will delve deeply into soft tissue management, addressing critical topics such as the dilemma of keratinized tissue in esthetic implantology, flap advancement vs. tunnel techniques, and the crucial debate between bone augmentation versus soft tissue augmentation to ensure long-term implant success.
The event will kick off strong with an exclusive Pre-Symposium focused on esthetic tissue reconstruction using “The Brazilian Way” approach. Throughout the main program, you will have the privilege of attending debates, clinical cases, and roundtables led by true titans of global dentistry, including Dr. Massimo De Sanctis, Giovanni Zucchelli, Mariano Sanz, Dani Buser, Istvan Urban, and Luca De Stavola, among many other elite experts. This symposium not only promises to revolutionize your vision on tissue stability and the resolution of esthetic failures, but will also provide an unparalleled networking opportunity in the heart of Italy.
Registration includes
Participation in the scientific sessions, coffee breaks, congress material and bag, and a certificate of attendance.
