About the Event

This event has live streaming.

The Brazilian Congress of Endodontics – COBE 2026 is the official Endodontics event in Brazil, organized by SBEndo, and it arrives in Belo Horizonte with a truly innovative proposal. More than just a congress, COBE 2026 will be a major meeting point for the endodontic community, connecting professors, clinicians, researchers, students, and industry in a scientific and social experience unlike anything seen before in the country.

The scientific program has been carefully designed to combine high technical level with interactive dynamics:
International lectures featuring leading names in global Endodontics, all with simultaneous translation;
Interactive round tables, focused on critical discussion of key topics and clinical decision-making;
Scientific papers sessions, highlighting Brazilian research and the training of new talents;
Workshops and hands-on activities, for practical updates on techniques, protocols, and new technologies;
– A commercial exhibition with the main national companies, showcasing product launches, innovative solutions, and special opportunities for participants.

For 2026, COBE also brings a series of innovations in the participant experience:
Lunch box included, keeping everyone together in the congress environment and enhancing integration and networking;
Later start times for the daily program, allowing participants to enjoy the rich nightlife and gastronomy of Belo Horizonte;
Special clinical case discussion sessions with leading Brazilian endodontists, focused on real-world decision-making, predictability, and high-level outcomes;
Surprises throughout the congress and a social program that is unprecedented in Endodontics events in Brazil, combining science, community, and celebration.

To ensure no one is left out, COBE 2026 will be the only major Brazilian Endodontics event in a truly hybrid format: those unable to attend in person in Belo Horizonte will be able to follow online, in real time, from anywhere in the country, and also re-watch recordings of the lectures they found most relevant or were unable to attend live.

COBE 2026 is where Brazilian Endodontics gathers to discuss the present, shape the future, and experience, in practice, a congress on a whole new level.

14h00 - Felipe Restrepo Tooth Autotransplantation Lecture International Session
Place: Auditório
  • Thooth autotransplantation is defined as the surgical movement of a tooth from one alveolar socket to another, either after extraction or by surgically preparing the recipient site in the same patient.
  • It is a viable option to replace lost teeth or poor prognosis teeth. Thus, both function and preservation of the alveolar bone crest is maintained.
  • Its success is associated with healing of the PDL and pulp tissue, absence of root resorption, soft tissue healing, and radicular formation.
16h00 - Anibal Diogenes The Clinical Relevance of Neuroscience in Pulpal and Periapical Disease Lecture International Session
Place: Auditório
  • New evidence is challenging traditional concepts of pulpal nociception, the role of nociceptors in homeostasis, and their responses to injury.
  • It is increasingly clear that nociceptors perform functions beyond pain perception through complex communication with cells of the pulp–dentin complex and the periodontium.
  • Pulpal injury and endodontic infection trigger marked changes in neuronal phenotype (neural plasticity).
  • These neuronal changes may explain key clinical challenges, including anesthetic difficulty and intraoperative pain, postoperative pain, and persistent symptoms even after technically adequate endodontic treatment.
  • This lecture will review current and emerging knowledge in dental neurophysiology, present new mechanistic evidence, and highlight its translational relevance for pain management in Endodontics.
17h30 Official Opening of COBE 2026: Celebrating Endodontics and Scientific Knowledge Opening

14h15 - Teresa Arias Moliz Microbiological Insights and Disinfection Approaches in Root Canal Retreatment Lecture International Session
Place: Auditório
  • Endodontic infections result from microbial contamination of the root canal system and surrounding tissues.
  • Treatment failure is mainly due to persistent biofilms located in anatomically complex areas of the root canal.
  • Retreatment cases often involve polymicrobial infections with increased virulence and resistance to conventional disinfection.
  • This lecture will address the key microbial factors involved in endodontic failure, the clinical relevance of the endodontic microbiome, and current disinfection strategies for biofilm elimination.
16h15 Palestra Internacional 4 Lecture International Session
Place: Auditório

Palestra Internacional

18h00 - Alex Chan Solutions to Simplify Shaping-Cleaning-Obturation: Improving Quality of Root Canal Treatment. Lecture International Session
Place: Auditório

Advancements in endodontic therapy have revolutionized the predictability and efficacy of root canal treatment. This presentation explores the synergistic application of nickel-titanium rotary files, active irrigation protocols, and bioceramic sealers in optimizing the endodontic procedure with enhanced clinical outcomes. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments offer superior flexibility and cutting efficiency, allowing for safe and consistent canal shaping. Complementing mechanical instrumentation, Active Irrigation Techniques-such as sonic and ultrasonic activation-optimize disinfections by improving irrigant penetration and debris removal. Finally, the emergence of Bioceramic Sealers (BC) provides bioactive, biocompatible solutions that support sealing integrity and long-term healing. Together, these innovations contribute to a streamlined, biologically respectful approach to endodontic care.

Please join to explore the modern concepts for predictable endodontic treatment and experience the JOY OF ENDO.
