During the annual congress of the Spanish Society of Periodontology and Osseointegration, SEPA Granada 2026, a key event in the fields of periodontology and implantology, students, researchers and teaching staff from the Area of Periodontology at UIC Barcelona took part with presentations, scientific papers and posters. They also received several awards and distinctions, a reflection of the high quality of the research conducted in the Faculty and its commitment to academic excellence and the advancement of scientific knowledge.

These accolades include those earned by Javier Vilarrasa, finalist for the Fonseca Prize; Germán Pardo, winner of the Implants World Cup; Berta Zanuy, recipient of the award for Best Research Poster Presentation; and Mireia Iglesias, who was named a finalist in the same category.

Likewise, Dr José Nart, a full professor in the Faculty and head of the Area of Periodontology, received the Hygiene and Prevention Award for a study on factors influencing tooth loss over a period of ten years in compromised teeth. Luis Nart and José Nart, for their part, were awarded the Management Prize for a study focused on assessing clinical value in implantology.

In addition to its scientific activity, the Faculty of Dentistry set up an information stand to present its selection of academic programmes and reconnect with both former and current students and industry professionals. Also present at the congress were members of the Faculty Board, who held meetings with companies and institutions in the field of dentistry to further promote new opportunities for collaboration.

The Faculty of Dentistry’s participation in SEPA Granada 2026 reinforces its position as a leading institution in the field of dentistry and consolidates its commitment to academic excellence, research and knowledge transfer in oral health.
