International clinicians gathered at Merimna Institute for three intensive days dedicated to Soft Tissue Management Around Implants.

ATHENS, GREECE — 3–5 SEPTEMBER 2026 — Delta Dent Academy continued its international educational journey in Athens, bringing together dental professionals from Greece, Bulgaria, Canada, and Croatia for an intensive three-day program in Soft Tissue Management Around Implants, led by internationally renowned clinician and educator Dr. Ricardo Kern.

Hosted at Merimna Institute, the course created an environment where advanced clinical education met international collaboration, bringing professionals from different backgrounds and countries together around one of the most demanding and decisive areas of contemporary implant dentistry: the management of peri-implant soft tissues.

Throughout the three days, Dr. Kern shared his clinical philosophy, protocols, decision-making principles, and extensive experience, guiding participants through the biological and surgical concepts behind achieving predictable, stable, and esthetically driven outcomes around implants.

Beyond the clinical knowledge, the Athens experience reflected something equally important: the power of education to connect dentistry across borders.

Doctors who arrived from four different countries shared the same room, exchanged experiences, discussed clinical challenges, and built professional relationships around a common commitment to continuous improvement.

For Delta Dent Academy, the Athens edition represented another significant step in its mission to create an international platform where world-class educators and ambitious clinicians can meet, learn, exchange ideas, and raise the standards of dental education together.

From Tirana to Athens, Zagreb and beyond, that mission remains unchanged: to build bridges through education and create a community where geography never limits the pursuit of clinical excellence.

Three days in Athens. Four nations represented. One international community united by dentistry.

And when the final day concluded at Merimna Institute, participants left with more than new techniques and protocols — they left with new perspectives, new professional connections, and renewed motivation to continue pushing the boundaries of their clinical work.

Athens was not simply another course on the calendar.

It was another chapter in a growing international story.
