SCHAAN, Liechtenstein: Under the motto “Travel, learn, connect”, the Ivoclar Summer School will return this year. First launched in 2022, the international education programme for dental students is expected to bring together more than 100 participants in ten countries. Over five days, students will gain insights into current products, technologies and clinical workflows through both theory and practice.
Clinical practice, digital dentistry and soft skills
The summer schools will take place between June and August in Asia, Europe, and Central and South America. The programme is designed to prepare students for treating their first patients, covering clinical steps from taking a patient history to carrying out treatment. It will focus on topics that are often not part of university curricula, including digital dentistry, aesthetics and soft skills. The daily programme will include full-day workshops, expert lectures and a supporting social programme.

Dentistry is about precision, compassion, and lifelong learning. After these five days, I feel ready to embrace all of it.”
