Dear Colleagues, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the fourth Bone Biomaterials & Beyond Academy International Symposium on Bone and Soft Tissue Regeneration. The purpose of our Academy is to promote and disseminate the scientific knowledge on collagenated xenografts and their use in the appropriate clinical situation with the most suitable regenerative technique. A great deal of new surgical techniques, scientific knowledge and advanced materials have been developed during the last few years: we are nowadays, in fact, able to benefit from collagenated xenografts which can be used successfully and with predictable positive outcomes in most clinical indications. This Symposium aims to go “beyond” the specific issues related to bone and biomaterials, with the ambition to provide a comprehensive perspective for oral rehabilitation, deriving from research, long term clinical evidence and passion for our profession. Each set of lectures will be followed by selected questions from an expert in the field, as a debate. We believe that this interactive format will allow to discuss and understand in greater detail each of the presented topics. The event takes place in the frame of one of the most iconic cities in Portugal: Porto, considered one of the best destinations in Europe with its world heritage historic center and the Port wine cellars.

Place: Porto, Portugal.
