SIS2025 Solutions & Innovations Symposium

It is my absolute pleasure to warmly welcome you to SIS2025 “2nd International Solutions & Innovations Symposium in Implant Dentistry” along with our distinguished speakers from across the globe. This follows the first-ever SIS2023 held in Sydney, Australia which agreeably, happened to become a lucrative and rewarding scientific event.

The 2nd biennial SIS event features world-renowned clinicians, researchers, and scientists who would present impactful clinical data on two main themes: peri-implant health and disease as well as full-arch therapy. Not only are we gathering to exchange and disperse the most up-to-date scientific information, but also we intend to warmly connect and socialise in Australia’s iconic city for leisure and entertainment.

I hope you find this experience exciting and inspiring again.
