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.

Omar Burhan, a participant in the 2025 Ivoclar Summer School in London, said: “This week gave me more than knowledge—it gave me clarity, inspiration, and a network of peers who share the same passion. Dentistry is about precision, compassion, and lifelong learning. After these five days, I feel ready to embrace all of it.”

For advanced dental students

The Ivoclar Summer School will be aimed at dental students who have already completed their preclinical phantom courses and have acquired basic practical skills, such as changing burs or placing matrix bands. The course fee this year will be €290. It will cover five days of training, all materials and equipment required for the workshops, handouts, lunch, coffee breaks and a joint evening event. Travel, accommodation and any required visa will need to be arranged and paid for by the participants themselves.
