Information coming up …

The scientific program of ECDMFR 2026 under theme “Bridge between Dento-Maxillo-Facial and Head and Neck Imaging” spans the full spectrum of contemporary dentomaxillofacial radiology, reflecting both clinical practice and future-oriented research. Key themes include digital dentistry and the use of 2D and 3D imaging across disciplines such as oral surgery, endodontics, implantology, and related fields. A strong focus is placed on teaching and education, alongside advanced imaging techniques that continue to redefine diagnostic possibilities.

Central to the program are imaging-based diagnosis and anatomical interpretation, complemented by dedicated sessions on orthodontics and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) imaging. Broader perspectives are offered through topics in head and neck imaging, including vascular pathologies, as well as interventional and image-guided radiology.

Looking ahead, the congress highlights the growing role of artificial intelligence in radiology, while maintaining a firm grounding in radiation biology and radiation protection. Clinical relevance is ensured through case series and case reports, and the program is rounded out by contributions in forensic odontology, underscoring the interdisciplinary reach of the field.
