From Prevention to Rehabilitation: The Multidisciplinary Power of Periodontics in Everyday Practice is an SSPIReach scientific symposium organised by the Saudi Society of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry (SSPI). It takes place on 4 December 2026, from 13:25 to 20:30, at Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
About the scientific programme
The programme examines how periodontal health influences diagnosis, treatment planning and long-term outcomes across restorative, orthodontic, implant, endodontic and general dental care. The organiser describes periodontal health as the biological foundation for successful dental therapy and highlights the role of periodontists in educating and collaborating with other dental specialists.
Case-based lectures and interactive discussions address prevention, biofilm control, risk assessment and tissue management. The emphasis is on practical, evidence-based protocols that can be applied in everyday dental practice and on improving interdisciplinary treatment outcomes.
The published agenda begins with registration and speaker introductions. Dr. Reham A. Albabtain opens the scientific lectures with periodontal foundations for predictable multidisciplinary care. Dr. Shaima Bahammam addresses perio-endo diagnostic and treatment challenges, followed by Dr. Abdulaziz A. Albaihess on periodontal phenotype modification for orthodontic success. Prof. Khalid S. Alhamdan discusses soft tissue management and peri-implant health, and Dr. Arwa Alsayed covers periodontal and prosthetic management of implant complications.
A multidisciplinary treatment-planning and decision-making panel brings all speakers together before the concluding question-and-answer session. Two prayer and coffee breaks are included in the timetable. The full published schedule is indexed below and available as a readable agenda image.
Fees and participation
The published fee table distinguishes dentists from students and SSPI members from non-members. SSPI-member dentists: SAR 100; non-member dentists: SAR 250; SSPI-member students: free; non-member students: SAR 100. The displayed starting paid fee is therefore qualified by participant category, not a fee applicable to everyone.
The public event page lists a capacity of 100 and directs participants to the society's sign-in and registration process. The flyer names meridol and Colgate Total as sponsors. The society's EFP associate-membership logo is organisational branding, not an additional event sponsor.
This December symposium is separate from the rescheduled SaudiPerio5 congress. Its faculty, fees and timetable relate specifically to the 4 December 2026 activity; they do not reconfirm any withdrawn congress materials. No programme PDF, separate hands-on workshop or open call for abstracts is published with this event.
