At Center Hočevar, we believe that knowledge-sharing and collaboration are essential to advancing the future of dentistry.
We are therefore pleased to announce that our founder, Dr. Gregor Hočevar, was once again invited to speak at the School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, where he delivered a compelling guest lecture to dental students preparing to become the next generation of oral health professionals.
The lecture centered around the principles of Biological Dentistry, a field Dr. Hočevar has passionately championed throughout his career. With an emphasis on the intricate link between oral health and overall systemic health, Dr. Hočevar guided students through the science and practice behind biocompatible, patient-centered approaches to dental care.
A key highlight of the session was the introduction of zirconia-based ceramic implants—a hallmark of metal-free, holistic dentistry.
These implants, which are used exclusively at Center Hočevar, represent a paradigm shift in implantology. Unlike traditional titanium implants, zirconia implants are fully biocompatible, hypoallergenic, electronically neutral, and integrate seamlessly with natural bone and soft tissue. Dr. Hočevar explained how these features contribute to reduced inflammation, faster healing, and better long-term outcomes for patients.
The students were highly engaged throughout the presentation and showing a strong interest in integrating biological principles into their future practices. Their enthusiasm reflected a growing awareness of the need for innovation and sustainability in dental medicine—core values that Center Hočevar upholds every day.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the faculty of the School of Dental Medicine and especially to Professor Marin Vodanović, who continues to foster these important academic exchanges. It is an honor to contribute to the education of future dentists and to inspire a broader understanding of what it means to care for the whole person—not just the tooth.
As we look ahead, Center Hočevar remains committed to advancing biological dentistry through clinical excellence, education, and collaboration—with a deep belief in the transformative power of knowledge and holistic healing.
