CAPP and Align Technology host two-day Digital Excellence Series Online Congress for european dentists

On 26–27 September 2025, over 3,000 dental professionals from across Europe came together virtually for the Digital Excellence Series Online Congress 2025, a two-day event hosted by CAPP in collaboration with Align Technology (iTero). The congress was created to inspire and support general dentists and dental specialists in embracing digital transformation, with live simultaneous interpretation available in Spanish, German, Italian, French, Turkish, and Polish, ensuring accessibility for a broad European audience. The event was expertly moderated by Chris Barrow (UK), who guided discussions and ensured engaging interaction between speakers and participants.

The programme delivered a wealth of knowledge on digital workflows, patient experience, clinical outcomes, and business growth. Day one opened with Dr LaRee Johnson (USA) highlighting wellbeing and sustainability in dentistry, followed by Chris Barrow (UK) on why digital transformation is essential for modern practices and Dr Marcos White (UK) warning against being left behind in the “digital chasm.” Dr Raj Juneja (UK) outlined a framework for fully digital business success, Prof Dimitar Filtchev (Bulgaria) explored technology-driven workflow improvements, while Cat Edney (UK) and Dr Kristina Baumgarten (Germany) discussed patient-focused digital journeys. The day concluded with Dr Elaine Halley (UK), who demonstrated how digital practice elevates standards of patient care. Day two continued with Chris Barrow on maximising ROI, Dr Marcos White presenting a roadmap to full digitisation, and lectures from Prof Luis Ilzarbe Ripoll (Spain) and Dr Pablo Ramírez (Spain) on expanding treatment scope and chairside dentistry. Prof Camillo D’Arcangelo (Italy) emphasised pre-restorative digital planning and integration with tooth movement, and Prof Falk Schwendicke (Germany) closed the congress with a forward-looking talk on whether technology will “make us or break us.”

By bringing together leading international experts and offering free access to more than 3,000 clinicians, the Digital Excellence Series Online Congress 2025 provided a collaborative platform for sharing best practice in digital dentistry. Through the joint efforts of CAPP and Align Technology (iTero), attendees gained practical strategies, fresh insights, and inspiration to accelerate their digital transformation. The clear message from the congress: embracing digital dentistry is no longer optional—it is essential for delivering excellence in modern practice.
