[vc_row evenz_container=”1″][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Future trends and future talent, what lies on the horizon for the dental profession and achieving a healthy work-life balance are the themes of the grand finale of the Italian Dental Association’s AIO 10th Sardinian International Congress at the beautiful Forte Village Resort in Sardegna, Italy.

On Saturday afternoon, June 14th, at the conclusion of the Yellow, Green and Blue Path lecture series and after a break for lunch, the AIO Academy Session will commence followed by the special must-attend presentations by Antonio Pelliccia and Carlo Guastamacchia. These special sessions are free and open to all congress participants.

AIO Academy Session

2:30 pm – 3:45 pm – Vincenzo Musella, Cultural Secretary of  the Italian Dental Association AIO, founder and director of the AIO Academy, will coordinate the session held by the brilliant upcoming lecturers Tommaso Ghedini, Davide Guglielmi, Francesco Iacono and Luca Toselli dedicated to the “Recovery of the Compromised Tooth: Opportunity or Limit?”

Musella explains: “We have always shared a strong love for our profession at AIO: that feeds us, from which we draw enthusiasm and energy. We think of young people as an engine of continuity for our Association”.

Special Presentation:  “From dental ergonomics to dental bio-ergonomics”
(Lifestyle for dentists and the dental team)

3:45 – 5:00 pm – Antonio Pelliccia, Adjunct Professor of Health Economics, professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the Catholic University of Rome and at the Vita e Salute San Raffaele University of Milan also a member of the American Marketing Association, will explore the dental market in the face of the evolution of medicine.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) begins taking over various human tasks, from repetitive actions to cognitive processes, it’s becoming clear that Emotional Intelligence (EI) and relationship-building skills are more important than ever. In today’s VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) world, technological advancements, particularly in AI, are reshaping both our social structures and workplaces. As a result, “soft” skills like emotional intelligence are critical for professionals to adapt and thrive in this evolving landscape.

For dental professionals, this shift highlights the importance of strengthening skills like empathy, communication, and interpersonal relationships, elements that machines can’t replicate. While AI may assist with clinical tasks, patients still value the human touch and personalized care, which are essential for building trust and delivering quality service. In an era where perceived value, quality, and economic factors influence how services are evaluated, dentistry, like other  patient oriented professions, must prioritize these “human” qualities to stay relevant and successful.

Following, join Professor Carlo Guastamacchia as he explores a crucial yet often overlooked issue in dentistry: the evolution of “Dental Ergonomics.” Over 50 years ago, Professor “Tamà” introduced the term and its principles to help minimize physical strain and stress for dental professionals. Since then, much has changed, and after nearly 70 years of experience, Professor Tamà has revisited these principles to adapt them to today’s dental world.

Dental professionals, dentists, hygienists, and assistants, are facing new and varied stresses. These include not just the physical demands of the job but also external pressures, such as dealing with patients who have been influenced by unreliable outside sources, leading to misconceptions about symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.

The professor’s intervention looks at these challenges holistically, integrating both professional and personal well-being. By focusing on the nine health principles recommended by the World Health Organization, he aims to provide the dental team with practical solutions and guidance for managing modern-day stressors, ensuring a healthier work environment for everyone.

More than twenty years after their introduction, aligners are a consolidated treatment option, capable of offering increasingly esthetically valid, discreetly calibrated treatments to the patient.

This acquired experience has provided clinicians with greater knowledge regarding specific indications and limits of this system. Although high quality digital planning plays a key role it is of fundamental importance understand which cases require additional support such as skeletal anchorage or the support of fixed orthodontics to obtain predictable and successful results.

Is it possible to integrate scientific evidence and clinical experience to outline clear guidelines? The session will explore how careful digital planning and the use of hybrid techniques overcome the biomechanical limits of aligners and improve the predictability of results.
