KIZUNA 2026: Bridging the Gap Between Clinic & Lab for Seamless Dentistry

KIZUNA 2026 is an innovative dental symposium organized by Kuraray Noritake European, aimed at fostering a true symbiosis between the clinic (chairside) and the laboratory (labside). The symposium will take place on March 27–28, 2026, in Kraków, Poland, at the ICE Kraków Congress Centre. Reflecting the Japanese meaning of “Kizuna” — connection or bond — the event embodies collaboration, mutual trust, and joint effort in achieving more effective, efficient, and harmonious patient care.

Participants will experience a program designed to reduce complexity in workflows and improve efficiency. Live demonstrations will showcase how dental teams can work together more seamlessly, with joint sessions bringing dentists and dental technicians into shared spaces of learning and discussion. Between these, specialized tracks will cater to the unique needs of both clinic- and lab-based professionals. Expert speakers from across Europe will bring scientific depth, from new technologies and material science to AI integration and practical tips rooted in everyday dental care.

The venue in Kraków will not just provide conference spaces but also host cultural and social elements that enrich the symposium experience. An authentic Japanese-style dinner will set the tone for connection the evening before the main event, and accommodation options are located conveniently close to both the ICE Kraków Congress Centre and major landmarks in the city.

KIZUNA 2026 is more than a meeting—it’s a philosophy of care. By bringing together different perspectives under one roof, the symposium aims to elevate standards of cooperation, streamline clinical-to-lab workflows, and inspire participants to deliver dental care that is both efficient and harmonious. If you work in restorative, prosthetics, lab technology, or any allied role in dentistry, KIZUNA offers an opportunity to learn, connect, and transform your practice.
