GREATIST Professional Dental Meeting & Expo (2002-2023)

Launched in 2002 by Dr Bulent Manav, the GREATIST Professional Dental Meeting & Expo has grown into one of Europe’s leading dental congresses and exhibitions. Initially organised as The Scientific Congress of Journal of Dentistry from 2002 to 2006, the event gradually expanded in scope and international reach.

Between 2007 and 2014, it was held under the name Dental Istanbul Congress and Exhibition, attracting a wider audience of dental professionals from across the globe.

In 2015, following a strategic agreement between Vestiyer Publishing Group, DISSIAD, and Dental Tribune International, the event was rebranded as GREATIST Professional Dental Meetings & Expo, reinforcing its position as a premier international platform for dental education and industry advancement.

A key feature of GREATIST is its comprehensive scientific programme, which includes expert-led lectures, panel discussions, and hands-on training courses. The event also hosts a dynamic dental expo, where leading dental brands and manufacturers present the latest innovations in materials, equipment, and digital dentistry. With its emphasis on practical training, the symposium includes parallel hands-on workshops, ensuring participants gain both theoretical insights and real-world clinical skills that enhance their professional expertise.

Having been successfully organised 18 times until 2023, GREATIST has established itself as one of the most respected dental meetings in Europe and the Middle East. With its strong commitment to education, innovation, and professional development, it remains a highly anticipated annual gathering, offering dental professionals an unparalleled opportunity for networking, skill enhancement, and industry collaboration.
