In October, the first-ever SDS Satellite Ceramic Symposium took place in an inspiring and engaging atmosphere — a new educational format designed for dentists eager to deepen their knowledge and experience in ceramic implantology. ✨

The event brought together dentists from across Europe who share a common vision: advancing biological and ceramic approaches in modern implantology.

Through a compact, expertly structured program that combined a lecture and hands-on workshop, participants seamlessly connected theory with practice, gaining valuable insights applicable to everyday clinical work.

The lecture session provided an in-depth exploration of the biological and clinical foundations of ceramic implantology — from material science and osseointegration to long-term esthetic and functional success. 💡

Real clinical cases and interactive discussions demonstrated how ceramic implants enhance predictability, biocompatibility, and long-term treatment outcomes.


This was followed by a hands-on workshop, where participants translated their newly acquired knowledge into practice. 🔬

Under expert guidance, they explored surgical protocols, soft tissue management, and clinical details essential for precision and long-term success with ceramic implants.

This integrated approach — from theory to hands-on application — truly strengthened understanding and confidence in everyday clinical use.


The inaugural SDS Satellite Ceramic Symposium highlighted the importance of knowledge exchange, collaboration, and professional community. Open dialogue, constructive discussions, and a shared passion for innovation created an event that went far beyond traditional education. 🙌

Dr. Gregor Hočevar and the SDS team would like to thank all participants for their curiosity, professionalism, and enthusiasm.
Your presence and energy set the foundation for future educational events that will continue to advance the field of ceramic and biological implantology.

Zagreb was just the beginning — future editions will bring even more hands-on opportunities, deeper discussions, and stronger professional connections.
