For two intensive days, participants were immersed in a journey that combined the latest evidence-based knowledge with clinical mastery. Prof. Gluckman guided the audience step by step through the biological principles and surgical protocols that make immediate implant placement both predictable and successful. He emphasized the importance of tissue preservation, long-term stability, and achieving the highest standards of aesthetics and function.

The highlight of the program was the exploration of Partial Extraction Therapy, a revolutionary concept that has redefined modern implantology. With clear explanations and live demonstrations, Prof. Gluckman presented techniques such as the Socket Shield, showing how to preserve natural root fragments to maintain bone and soft tissue architecture. Participants witnessed how these advanced approaches minimize invasiveness, reduce complications, and open new horizons for treatment outcomes that were once thought impossible.

Hands-on sessions provided every attendee the chance to translate theory into practice, building confidence under the guidance of one of the world’s finest educators. The atmosphere was both scientific and inspiring—dentists working side by side, exchanging ideas, and growing together with a shared passion for excellence.

Beyond the technical aspects, what made this event unforgettable was Prof. Gluckman’s ability to inspire. His dedication to teaching, his clarity in communication, and his willingness to share real clinical experiences created a profound impact on everyone present.

The first course with Prof. Howard Gluckman in Albania will be remembered not only as two days of learning but as a defining moment where innovation, knowledge, and vision came together. It marked the beginning of a new chapter for many professionals who will now bring these advanced techniques into their daily practice—elevating standards of care and patient outcomes across the region.
