Ivoclar has announced the 2026 edition of its Summer School, an international education programme for dental students launching in ten countries across Asia, Europe, and Central and South America. Running between June and August, the initiative expects to bring together more than 100 participants. Each location offers a five-day programme combining theory and hands-on practice to prepare students for treating their first patients.

Programme content and focus areas

The Summer School covers clinical steps from patient history-taking through treatment delivery. The curriculum emphasises topics often absent from university curricula, including digital dentistry, aesthetics, and soft skills. Participants will attend full-day workshops, expert lectures, and social events. The programme is designed for advanced dental students who have completed preclinical phantom courses and possess basic practical skills such as changing burs or placing matrix bands.

Ten editions will take place: Bogotá, Colombia on 22-26 June; Delhi, India on 29 June-3 July; Schaan, Liechtenstein on 6-10 July; Lisbon, Portugal on 6-10 July; Mexico City, Mexico on 6-10 July; London, England on 20-24 July; São Paulo, Brazil on 20-24 July; Warsaw, Poland on 27-31 July; Berlin, Germany on 3-7 August; and Vienna, Austria on 24-28 August.
