After several years and for the first time in Sarajevo! Ivoclar is excited to announce a new edition of the largest regional dental symposium – Competence in Esthetics 2026!
The significance and regional recognition of the Competence brand are built on a unique concept: the integration of clinical expertise, laboratory precision, and proven protocols into a single workflow system. The new edition of the symposium is designed on this same principle.
Leading world experts, top-tier lectures, premieres of new technologies, and the arrival of hundreds of visitors – dental professionals from across the region – will make Sarajevo the center of dental excellence.
Competence in Esthetics 2026 in Sarajevo brings a concentrated clinical and laboratory focus: high-aesthetic ceramics and laboratory protocols, high-aesthetic composites and layering techniques, new possibilities for zirconium oxide ceramics, premium aesthetic anterior restorations, multifunctional composites, and adhesive procedures as the foundation of a minimally invasive approach.
The program lasts one day and is structured around panels and breaks, and this year’s novelty is a special parallel program for dental assistants covering topics such as preventive fluoridation, sterilization protocols, and dental materials in preventive dentistry.
As in previous editions, Competence is not just about professional lectures but also a unique opportunity for networking with leading dental professionals, as well as an exceptional chance to learn about innovations, protocols, and technologies that will shape the future of your practice and laboratory – for the better.
Where will Competence be held?
Competence in Esthetics 2026 will take place in Sarajevo, at Hotel Hills, 25. 4. 2026. on April 25, 2026. Special, discounted accommodation rates have been secured for guests and visitors in several Sarajevo hotels.
