Review: zebris Dental Nikolaus Symposium 2025

Expertise, Exchange and Innovation in the Allgäu

On December 5–6, 2025, zebris Medical once again hosted its annual Dental Nikolaus Symposium at the company headquarters in Isny im Allgäu, Germany. Around 200 participants – including dentists, dental technicians, and international experts – gathered to exchange knowledge and insights on the latest developments in digital functional dentistry.

The central topic of the event was the JMA-Optic digital facebow. Through lectures, practical case studies and live demonstrations, participants received comprehensive insights into its clinical applications – from functional diagnostics and splint therapy to prosthetic planning and CAD/CAM integration.

A particular highlight was the Pre-Symposium on Friday morning, offering compact, hands-on training in the correct use of the JMA-Optic, held entirely in English for an international audience.

Over 15 speakers from Germany, France, Turkey, Romania, China, and Iraq contributed to a high-caliber scientific program. All presentations were interpreted simultaneously in German and English.

Set against the backdrop of the wintery Allgäu region, the event also provided opportunities for networking and personal exchange – especially during the traditional Nikolaus Party on Friday evening at the zebris company premises.

We thank all participants, speakers, and partners for two inspiring days and look forward to welcoming you again at the next symposium.
