Join us for an exclusive, first-time-ever masterclass in the UK with one of the world’s most influential figures in implant dentistry – You will apply these concepts in your practice from the very next day.

Prof. Linkevičius is internationally renowned for his research on crestal bone stability, vertical soft-tissue thickness, and his pioneering philosophy, Zero Bone Loss Concepts (ZBLC). His scientific contributions have fundamentally reshaped modern implantology, equipping clinicians with predictable, evidence-based protocols to achieve long-term bone and soft-tissue stability around implants.

This intensive hands-on programme is designed for clinicians who want to refine their surgical and prosthetic skills with methods proven to improve long-term implant success and soft-tissue health. Over the course of two training days, participants will gain deep insight into delayed and immediate implant protocols, vertical soft-tissue enhancement, and prosthetically driven implant planning – supported by extensive hands-on practice.
