Welcome letter

Dear colleagues,
distinguished guests, dear friends,

It is my great honor and sincere pleasure to welcome you to the 12th International Congress of the School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, held on March 20 and 21, 2026, at The Westin Zagreb Hotel.

This year’s Congress once again brings together distinguished international and Croatian experts, offering you a unique opportunity to attend a series of outstanding lectures in the fields of restorative dental medicine, endodontics, prosthodontics, periodontology, surgery, and the increasingly important area of digital dental medicine. The program has been designed to integrate the latest scientific achievements with practical clinical experience and everyday professional practice.

I am confident that within the rich palette of scientific and professional content, you will find many inspiring and valuable topics that will further enhance your clinical work and professional development.

In addition to the invited lectures, the afternoon sessions will feature three-minute oral presentations of accepted abstracts from all areas of dental medicine, as well as selected fields of medicine, encouraging the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and experiences among colleagues.

As is tradition, the Congress is accompanied by an exhibition of our corporate partners, where you will have the opportunity to explore the latest materials, technologies, and techniques shaping the present and future of our profession.

Thank you for honoring us with your presence and for contributing to this exceptional event in dental medicine. I am confident that this Congress will enrich your knowledge, foster new professional connections, and provide a pleasant and inspiring opportunity to meet and socialize with colleagues.

I wish you a successful and enjoyable Congress.

Professor Zrinka Tarle, DMD, PhD
