If that's not two days well spent, what is?

Focus on personalized medicine

We are at a crossroads in medicine and CMF surgery. New technologies in regenerative medicine and genetics, virtual surgery and robotics, and complex tissue transfer promise personalized and minimally invasive solutions for CMF patients.

FACE AHEAD 2020 will help you to understand and critically assess the relevance of these new ideas and developments and teach you the skills necessary to succeed in your
surgical education and surgical practice.

At the 2020 edition of the summit, our all-star line-up of speakers will help you tackle topics on innovation and reconstruction from the perspective of personalized medicine.

As a participant you can look forward to an excellent summit experience that will allow you to focus on soaking up inspiration and concentrate on creating new connections with bright-minded, high-level professionals.

The event will be livestreamed worldwide to viewers, allowing them to take part in the action virtually. This will add another dimension to the event, taking it far beyond the constraints of the summit venue.

SECOM CyC was established in Spain 1965 before the specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery formally existed as such. In 1977 the specialty was created in great part through the efforts of SECOM CyC founding members.

The objectives of the association are to promote and defend the specialty and the professional interests of its nearly 1,000 members. It is very active in training and organizes an annual congress as well as numerous courses and symposiums throughout the year.

SECOM CyC is also very alert at statutory and court levels in order to assure that only oral and maxillofacial surgeons with an official degree are allowed to practice in those areas that are part of the specialty.
