Dentistry is at the edge of a revolution. By 2030, every patient will expect their dental journey to begin with a scan. Robbie Hughes, a world pioneer in AI, digital workflows, and cosmetic dentistry, will show why digital scanning is the true gateway to the practice of the future.

From the moment of check-up or consultation, digital data unlocks a new world of optimised workflows: guided, predictable, and profitable. Workflows that allow clinicians to deliver higher-quality dentistry at higher margins and lower cost—an ethical win for both patients and practices.

Drawing on his revolutionary work with technologies such as SprintRay Midas, Robbie will reveal how digital dentistry finally delivers on its promise: faster, cheaper, and more biologically respectful care that patients actually want.

With unmatched experience and vision, Robbie is the only clinician to have truly cracked what “digital” means for dentistry—and his roadmap for 2030 is both exciting and achievable. This session will inspire, challenge, and equip you to build the practice of the future, today.

For over 26 years, Dr. Miguel Stanley has dedicated his career to advancing dentistry with a clear mission: no shortcuts, no compromises, No Half Smiles®. As Founder and Clinical Director of the White Clinic in Lisbon, one of Europe’s most advanced centers for oral health and integrative medicine, he has built a global reputation for uncompromising ethics, precision workflows, and the use of only the highest-quality materials and technologies. His clinic has welcomed some of the world’s most famous and discerning patients, setting a standard for excellence that inspires colleagues worldwide.

A passionate educator, Dr. Stanley has lectured in more than 54 countries across five continents, sharing insights on aesthetics, implantology, digital workflows, cosmetic dentistry, and the evolving mouth–body connection. In this keynote, he will explore the dangers of cutting corners and poor-quality dentistry, and introduce the concept of Revision Dentistry, where outdated or harmful work is corrected to restore health and trust and beautiful smiles. He will also examine how the evolution of digital technologies, biomaterials, and AI, when guided by strong ethics and responsibility, can transform both clinical outcomes and the patient experience.

This lecture is both candid and aspirational — offering a roadmap for clinicians who want to succeed at the highest level by delivering dentistry that is comprehensive, ethical, and truly future-proof.

Modern dentistry has embraced digital technology with unprecedented speed – but has this progress always led to better, longer-lasting results for our patients? In this thought-provoking lecture, Dr Ian Buckle explores the gap between digital efficiency and clinical longevity. Drawing on over 40 years of experience in restorative and occlusal practice, he examines where dentistry may have gone astray in the pursuit of speed, convenience, and aesthetics at the expense of predictability and durability.

Delegates will discover how to harness the true potential of digital workflows—not as shortcuts, but as tools to enhance diagnosis, treatment planning, communication, and execution. The session will cover:

Lessons learned from the evolution of digital dentistry—what works, what doesn’t, and why.

• • The essential principles that underpin long-lasting dentistry, regardless of technology.
  • How to integrate digital workflows into everyday practice without compromising function or aesthetics.
  • Practical strategies for creating predictable, stable, and durable results using digital tools.
  • By the end of the lecture, participants will understand not just how to use digital systems, but how to apply them thoughtfully and responsibly to deliver dentistry that truly lasts

Breakthroughs in diagnostic technologies are transforming not only how we detect disease but how we engage patients and grow practices. This session explores how digital tools and emerging sciences – from caries detection and to salivary diagnostics and advanced oral cancer screening – are enabling earlier intervention, better communication, and broader care opportunities, while unlocking new clinical and commercial value.

• Using technology to improve patient understanding and engagement
• Diagnostics in holistic dentistry and helping patients understand the links between oral and systemic health

• An examination of new caries detection technology, salivary diagnostics and oral cancer screening
• The limitations and supporting science of existing technology and the potential of future research
• How diagnostics can help develop practice growth.
