🦷 Fluoride: What Needs Updating Is Not Fluoride Itself, but How We Use It in Clinical Practice
Fluoride has long been recognized as the cornerstone of caries prevention. In contemporary dentistry, however, its role has evolved far beyond preventing dental caries, becoming a central therapeutic tool in the prevention and management of a wide range of hard tissue diseases.
At VIDEC 2026, Prof. Vo Truong Nhu Ngoc, DDS, PhD will present the lecture:
📖 “Fluoride in Modern Dentistry: Redefining Its Role in Prevention and Management Strategies for Dental Dard Tissue Pathologies.”

🔬 This lecture will introduce an individualized approach to fluoride therapy, highlighting its role not only in the prevention and remineralization of incipient carious lesions, but also in the management of dentin hypersensitivity, the relief of post-scaling discomfort associated with cervical and root surface exposure, and the treatment of developmental enamel defects, including Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), enamel cracks, and other white spot lesions.
The session will also provide updates on novel fluoride formulations, discuss optimal fluoride concentrations for contemporary clinical practice, and propose a practical evidence-based framework for the safe, effective, and appropriate use of fluoride within the principles of minimal intervention dentistry.
💡 A familiar therapeutic agent can continue to deliver new clinical value when prescribed with the right indication, the appropriate concentration, and the correct timing.
👉 If fluoride is part of your daily clinical practice, this is a scientific session you should not miss at VIDEC 2026.

🦴 Pericardium Membrane in Guided Bone Regeneration: From Routine Clinical Practice to Complex Bone Augmentation Procedures
Barrier membrane selection is one of the key determinants of successful Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR). Beyond supporting bone regeneration, the choice of membrane directly influences graft stability, wound healing, complication rates, and the long-term predictability of treatment outcomes.
At VIDEC 2026, Dr. Silvio Mario Meloni – Associate Professor at the School of Dentistry, University of Sassari (Italy), the first Italian clinician to achieve European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) Certification, and a leading researcher in digitally assisted Guided Bone Regeneration – will present the latest evidence in the lecture:
📚 “Pericardium Membrane in Guided Bone Regeneration: From Routine Clinical Practice to Complex Bone Augmentation Procedures.”

🔬 Based on recent clinical evidence and extensive surgical experience, this lecture will review the application of cross-linked bovine pericardium membranes in socket preservation, periodontal regeneration, sinus augmentation, and Guided Bone Regeneration procedures.
The session will discuss how the membrane’s multi-laminar collagen-elastin structure provides high tensile strength, excellent suturing resistance, and prolonged resorption time, allowing predictable horizontal bone gain and moderate vertical bone augmentation when used with particulate grafts and membrane fixation. Clinical evidence comparing cross-linked bovine pericardium membranes with non-resorbable PTFE barriers will also be presented, highlighting their favorable healing profile, reduced complications in cases of membrane exposure, and the advantage of eliminating the need for a second surgery for membrane removal.
👨⚕️ An essential scientific session for clinicians interested in implant dentistry, Guided Bone Regeneration, bone augmentation, and evidence-based biomaterials for regenerative therapy.

🔬EARLY DETECTION: THE MOST CRITICAL FACTOR IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ORAL CANCER
Advanced oral cancer often results in significant functional and aesthetic impairment, affecting eating, speech, and overall quality of life – even after successful treatment. In contrast, when detected at an early stage, oral cancer can often be managed with surgery alone, avoiding chemotherapy and radiotherapy while preserving patients’ quality of life.
At VIDEC 2026, Dr. Takanori Eguchi, DDS, PhD – Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Tsurumi University (Japan), an expert in oral tumors and oral and maxillofacial reconstruction—will present the lecture:
📖 “Management of Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders and Early-Stage Oral Cancer”

🔬 Based on current clinical evidence and extensive surgical experience, this lecture will review the appropriate management of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs), with a particular focus on leukoplakia and erythroplakia – the two most clinically significant lesions because of their potential to progress to oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The session will also discuss major risk factors, including tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and chronic mechanical irritation caused by malpositioned teeth or ill-fitting dental prostheses.
In addition, the presentation will address the clinical challenges of distinguishing OPMDs from early-stage oral cancer, emphasizing the pivotal role of early detection. When diagnosed at an early stage, treatment is typically limited to surgery alone, without the need for chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Surgical defects are generally minimal, reconstruction is rarely required, postoperative quality of life can be preserved, and survival rates exceed 95%.
👨⚕️ An essential scientific session for clinicians interested in oral medicine, oral and maxillofacial surgery, oral pathology, and the early diagnosis of oral cancer.

🦷 What determines the long-term success of a dental implant? Today, the answer extends far beyond implant design or surgical technique.
Emerging evidence shows that dental implants are biologically active systems, continuously interacting with the peri-implant tissues, the oral microbiome, and the host. Long-term clinical success depends on maintaining this delicate symbiosis. Once this balance is disrupted, peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis may develop.
At VIDEC 2026, Prof. Nikos Mattheos – an internationally renowned expert in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, and Head of Education at the International Team for Implantology (ITI) – will present the lecture:
🔐 “Plaque-induced Peri-implantitis: An ancient problem with new dimensions.”

Drawing on the latest scientific evidence, this lecture will explore:
🔹 The dynamic interactions between microbial communities, implant components, peri-implant tissues, and the host in the development of peri-implant diseases.
🔹 The key clinical factors that help maintain symbiosis or increase the risk of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.
🔹 Evidence-based strategies for the prevention, early detection, and management of plaque-induced peri-implant diseases.
🔹 The importance of comprehensive treatment planning, thoughtful design of the implant-prosthesis–tissue complex, and individualized maintenance protocols in achieving predictable long-term clinical outcomes.
💡 The “old challenge” remains bacterial plaque. The “new vision” is to understand dental implants as dynamic biological systems, where the balance between microorganisms, biomaterials, peri-implant tissues, and the host ultimately determines health or disease.
📍 Join us at VIDEC 2026 to discover the latest evidence on the prevention and management of peri-implant diseases, and explore how biologically driven approaches are shaping the future of modern implant dentistry.

🦷 Geriatric Dentistry in the Era of Population Aging: Are We Ready for the Future?
As life expectancy continues to rise, dentistry faces a new challenge – not only preserving natural teeth, but also maintaining the ability to eat, speak, and enjoy a better quality of life throughout older age.
Japan, one of the world’s fastest-aging societies, has successfully improved oral health through decades of preventive care. Building on the remarkable achievements of the 8020 Campaign, the country’s focus has now shifted toward Oral Function Management, recognizing that preserving teeth alone is no longer sufficient if oral functions such as mastication, swallowing, and speech continue to decline.
👨⚕️ At VIDEC 2026, Dr. Hirohiko Hirano, President of the Japanese Society of Gerodontology and a pioneer in the fields of Oral Frailty and Oral Hypofunction, will present the lecture “From the 8020 Campaign to Oral Function Management: New Developments in Geriatric Dentistry in Japan.”

📖 This keynote will highlight three major developments that are transforming geriatric dental care in Japan: the concept of Oral Frailty as an early indicator of functional decline, the implementation of Oral Hypofunction as a diagnostic category within Japan’s national dental insurance system, and oral function improvement services designed to preserve mastication, swallowing, and communication abilities among older adults.
💡 Beyond sharing Japan’s experience, the lecture will provide valuable insights for dental professionals in Vietnam, where population aging is accelerating. Participants will gain a broader perspective on the evolving role of dentistry—from treating oral diseases to preserving oral function and supporting healthy aging through evidence-based clinical practice.
📍 Join us at VIDEC 2026 to explore the latest advances in geriatric dentistry and discover how oral function management is redefining the future of oral healthcare for older adults.
