From 29 to 31 October 2026, Oviedo will become one of the leading meeting points for the national and international endodontic community as it hosts the 46th National Congress of the Spanish Association of Endodontics.
This edition will have a special significance for Zarc. The company will participate in AEDE 2026 as a Platinum Sponsor in the city where IPG Dental, its official distributor in Spain, is headquartered.
The event will bring together professionals, lecturers, researchers and companies in Asturias who share the same understanding of endodontics: a constantly evolving discipline driven by scientific evidence, innovation and clinical experience.
AEDE 2026: the endodontic community meets in Oviedo
The AEDE 2026 Congress will take place at the Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos Ciudad de Oviedo, designed by Santiago Calatrava and now one of the most recognisable buildings in the Asturian capital.
Over three days, the congress will offer a strongly clinically focused programme designed to translate scientific knowledge into the decisions professionals make in their daily practice.
The programme includes more than 25 lectures, courses and scientific presentations covering some of the topics transforming contemporary endodontics. These include:
- Diagnosis of endodontic and non-endodontic lesions.
- Treatment and retreatment planning.
- Hydraulic and bioceramic materials.
- Endodontic surgery.
- Artificial intelligence, lasers and dynamic navigation.
- Magnetic resonance imaging and CBCT applied to diagnosis.
- 3D printing in the endodontic workflow.
- Apical periodontitis and its relationship with systemic health.
- Restoration and preservation of endodontically treated teeth.
The programme will feature national and international professionals such as Josette Camilleri, Mohamed Fayad, Matthias Zehnder, Rubens Spin-Neto, Flavio Palazzi, Francesc Abella, Armando Hernández, Alberto Sierra, Jordi Tomás and Francisco Martínez Rus, among others.
This combination of science, clinical application and professional exchange makes the congress an opportunity to review protocols, discover new perspectives and reflect on the future of the specialty. You can view the latest programme on the official AEDE 2026 website.
A special edition for Zarc and IPG Dental
Zarc has participated in several editions of the AEDE National Congress, but its arrival in Oviedo gives the 2026 event an especially personal dimension.
Just a few kilometres from the venue is the headquarters of IPG Dental, an Asturian company and the official distributor of Zarc in Spain. From Asturias, IPG Dental supports clinics and specialists across the country every day through technical advice, training and solutions for the different stages of endodontic treatment.
For this reason, AEDE 2026 will not simply be another event on the professional calendar. It will be an opportunity to welcome the endodontic community to our home city.
During those days, Oviedo will provide a setting in which to reconnect with professionals who have trusted Zarc for years, listen to their clinical experiences and share a common vision: making endodontic procedures increasingly safe, efficient and predictable.
Zarc, Platinum Sponsor of the 46th AEDE National Congress
The participation of Zarc as a Platinum Sponsor of AEDE 2026 reflects the brand’s commitment to continuing education and the advancement of endodontics.
Innovation in this field does not depend solely on developing new products. It also requires listening to professionals, understanding the challenges that arise in clinical practice and creating spaces in which knowledge and experience can be shared.
The congress will encourage precisely this dialogue between specialists, general dentists, researchers, lecturers and companies. This conversation is essential for translating scientific advances into simpler, more conservative and reproducible clinical protocols.
For Zarc and IPG Dental, supporting an event of this kind means actively contributing to the growth of the endodontic community and promoting knowledge-based dentistry.
Innovation for every stage of endodontic treatment
Professionals attending AEDE Oviedo 2026 will be able to explore the Zarc portfolio and discover solutions developed to address different clinical needs.
The brand’s catalogue includes systems for root canal preparation and shaping, files for patency and glide path creation, irrigation and activation solutions, obturation systems and bioceramic materials.
Zarc’s solutions include systems such as:
- BlueShaper® PRO®, developed to provide a balance between cutting efficiency and flexibility.
- SlimShaper® PRO®, designed for conservative root canal preparation.
- Excalibur® PRO®, a reciprocating instrumentation system.
- ApicalShaper®, designed specifically for the management of the apical third.
- Z-Glider EVO, for creating a reproducible glide path.
- Z-Activator®, a cordless ultrasonic activator for irrigation protocols.
- NeoSEALER Flo®, NeoPUTTY® and NeoMTA 2®, bioceramic materials intended for different endodontic applications.
This portfolio reflects a philosophy centred on developing solutions that help professionals manage complex anatomies and adapt each procedure to the characteristics of the individual clinical case.
A programme addressing the challenges of modern endodontics
One of the main attractions of AEDE 2026 will be the diversity of topics included in its scientific programme.
The congress will begin by addressing essential aspects such as the planning and execution of endodontic treatment, differential diagnosis and decision-making following treatment failure. Several sessions will also focus on hydraulic cements, from their evolution to their clinical applications.
The second day will introduce new diagnostic and technological tools. Dental-specific magnetic resonance imaging, CBCT, artificial intelligence, lasers, dynamic navigation and 3D printing will demonstrate how digitalisation is expanding the possibilities of the specialty.
The programme will also cover issues directly related to everyday practice, including anaesthesia, apical periodontitis, the number of appointments required to complete a treatment and the communication of clinical cases.
The final day will broaden the perspective to other disciplines, with content devoted to restoring endodontically treated teeth, orthodontics, implants and dental autotransplantation.
The congress therefore presents endodontics not as an isolated procedure, but as a fundamental part of a comprehensive treatment plan focused on preserving the natural tooth.
Three days to learn, share and reconnect
AEDE 2026 will combine scientific lectures with courses, presentations, professional meetings and a trade exhibition where attendees will be able to discover new technologies and clinical solutions.
Breaks, parallel sessions, the welcome cocktail and social activities will complete an experience designed not only for learning, but also to encourage interaction between professionals who share the same specialty.
As the Congress President, Dr Carlos González, has explained, this is an event built through what is researched, learned and shared. This collaborative vision is directly aligned with the way Zarc and IPG Dental understand the evolution of endodontics.
Oviedo awaits the endodontic community
Holding the 46th AEDE National Congress in Oviedo will also allow professionals from different locations to discover a welcoming, accessible city closely connected to the history of IPG Dental.
The IPG Dental team will be proud to welcome the endodontic community to Asturias and share this edition with Zarc as a Platinum Sponsor.
From 29 to 31 October 2026, Oviedo will be much more than the congress venue. It will be the place where clinical experience, research and innovation come together once again to continue shaping the future of endodontics.
See you at AEDE 2026. See you in Oviedo.
