June 2026 — We have important news to share with all our patients, because it directly reflects the quality of care you receive every day: Dr. Tommaso Grandi, founder and lead surgeon of our clinic, is among the key figures at the 2026 JD Symposium, Italy’s most important international congress dedicated to implantology.
What is the JD Symposium?
The JD Symposium is a leading event in the field of dentistry, organized by JDentalCare — a Modena-based company and global leader in the production of specialized dental implants. Every year, it brings together hundreds of specialist doctors from around the world to share the most advanced techniques in implantology.
This year, the 2026 edition takes place in Riccione from June 18 to 20, at PalaRiccione — one of Italy’s most modern congress centers, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Three days of education, innovation, and live surgery, featuring top-level international speakers.
Performing Surgery Before Thousands of Colleagues
Dr. Grandi’s participation in the JD Symposium is not that of a simple speaker: the Doctor enters the operating room and performs real surgical procedures, live, while more than 1,800 specialist colleagues from around the world observe and follow every step.
It is one of the most demanding forms of professional exchange in the medical field: operating on a real patient, in real time, while explaining every decision, every technical gesture, and every detail of the procedure — knowing that the eyes of the entire international scientific community are focused on you. There is no room for approximation. It is a concrete confirmation, before colleagues from around the world, of an exceptional level of expertise.
The procedures Dr. Grandi performs live concern the most complex cases: full-arch rehabilitations of the severely atrophic upper jaw, thanks to the Maxilla-For-All® protocol — an innovative approach that combines zygomatic, pterygoid, and nasal implants to restore fixed teeth even in cases considered impossible by other centers.
What Are Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants?
For those who are not familiar with these terms, it is worth explaining them in simple words.
When a person has been missing teeth for many years, the upper jawbone tends to gradually shrink. In these cases, traditional implants do not find enough bone to anchor into. For decades, the only solution was a long and demanding process involving bone grafts — painful procedures, long recovery times, and high costs.
Dr. Grandi specializes in a different approach: using alternative bone structures — the zygoma (the cheekbone), the pterygoid structures (located in the posterior region of the skull), and nasal anchorage — as secure foundations for special implants. This makes it possible to place fixed teeth in a single surgical session, even in mouths with severe bone loss, without having to wait months.
It is a highly complex surgical procedure that requires years of training and thousands of completed cases. This is precisely the specialization that Dr. Grandi brings to the international stage of the JD Symposium.

A Recognition That Also Concerns You
When you choose Tommaso Grandi Clinic for your care, you are placing your trust in a professional who not only practices excellence every day, but is also invited to teach it before the global scientific community.
Being invited to perform live surgery at the JD Symposium means being recognized by one’s own colleagues as an absolute point of reference in a highly specialized field. It is not a title that can be bought: it is a form of respect earned case after case, result after result, before the eyes of those who work in this profession every day.
This is the standard we bring to our clinic every day.
