Letter from the Dean of the Dentistry Faculty
The Faculty of Dental Medicine within the “Vasile Goldiș” Western University of Arad, established in 1991, has harmoniously integrated into the structure of a university with a strong academic tradition and a predominantly humanistic orientation. Through continuous and sustained development, our faculty has strengthened its position in the educational and professional environment, benefiting from international accreditation by the AHPGS agency in Germany and being guided by the fundamental values of continuity, performance, and competitiveness.
An important milestone in institutional development is represented by the “Vasile Goldiș” International Clinical Center of Microscopy in Dentistry in Arad, which reflects our commitment to excellence and innovation. The integration of modern technologies, such as the use of the microscope in dental practice, supports the belief that high-quality medical care is based on precision, visibility, and in-depth knowledge.
In this context of continuous development, the Faculty of Dental Medicine organizes annual scientific events aimed at supporting professional training and advancement. It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 5th edition of the GoldArt Dentistry Congress, an event designed to highlight the most current directions in modern dentistry and to facilitate dialogue between academia and professional practice.
The congress brings together leading personalities in the field of dentistry and includes a complex program of conferences, workshops, and hands-on sessions, designed to meet the current needs of dental practitioners and to contribute to the continuous development of professional competencies.

Letter from the President of the Congress
On 20-22.10 2022 the first edition of the “Gold Art – Endo and more” congress will take place in Arad.
During three days, lecturers with a rich experience in the fields of implantology, periodontology, restorative dentistry, endodontology and other areas of dental interest will captivate the audience with the topics presented.
Through the (by no means self-evident at this time) possibility of interacting live with the referents and referees, the participants will be able to learn a number of new aspects that they can implement for the benefit of their patients in their daily dental practice.
In addition to theoretical lectures and presentations, there will also be a series of workshops aimed at facilitating the practical work of colleagues attending the congress.
And last but not least, those present will have the opportunity to (re)meet, to socialize, in short to fully enjoy the three days of dental congress in the beautiful and welcoming Arad.
Finally, I would like to thank the organizers of this event, my colleagues from the “Vasile Goldis” Western University of Arad for their professionalism in preparing and organizing this scientific event.
Peter Kiefner, Dr. med. dent, M.Sc. Endodontology
Letter from the Honorary President
As Honorary President of the first congress of dentistry with international participation organized by UVVG Arad, I would first of all like to greet the community of Alumni of the Faculty of Dentistry, gathered on this occasion and eager to have a continuity of the International Clinical Center of Microscopy in Dentistry where I am a founding member, as well as an international imprint of this event.
A long and beautiful friendship binds me to the family of the University and to the family of its founder, Mr. Aurel Ardelean. I would like to pay tribute to him! It is my way of showing my gratitude and my contribution to the good reputation of the Faculty of Dentistry and the “Vasile Goldiș” Western University of Arad.
Thank you very much to everyone for their involvement, national and international speakers, sponsors, the faculty team led by the Dean Ioana Lile and the University team led by the Rector, Prof. Coralia Cotoraci.
I am also particularly proud to be the sole representative in Italy of UVVG Arad. I believe that by opening international centres, the prestige of the University increases in the world.
Good luck with the congress!
Dr. Gennaro Galasso

Structured around the most current directions in contemporary dentistry, the congress offers a complex scientific program that harmoniously combines preventive, therapeutic, and technological approaches. The first day begins with the congress theme report and continues with presentations dedicated to oral health education in the school environment (Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ioana Lile), digital planning in aesthetic dentistry (Prof. Dr. Sorin Mihali), and the oral implications of HPV infections (Prof. Dr. Cosmin Sinescu). Current topics are also addressed, such as the psychosomatic impact of addictions (Prof. Dr. Ramona Amina Popovici), prosthetic treatment of extended partial edentulism (Assoc. Prof. Dr. Liana Todor), and the management of edentulous ridge defects in periodontal therapy (Prof. Dr. Darian Rusu).
The second day is dedicated to in-depth discussions of essential topics in periodontology, implantology, and prosthetic restorations. Presentations include aspects of causal therapy in periodontitis and the role of local antibiotics (Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ioana Veja), contributions of research in periodontology (Prof. Dr. Ștefan Stratul), and modern criteria for implant positioning (Prof. Dr. Marius Leretter). The program continues with relevant topics such as periodontal pathology in pediatric dentistry (Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tiberiu Hosszu), the longevity of dental bridges (Assoc. Prof. Dr. Otilia Stana), and the importance of restoration in determining endodontic prognosis (Assoc. Prof. Dr. Diana Marian).
The final day brings to the forefront a highly relevant and current topic—malpractice in dental medicine—debated during a round table attended by experienced specialists. The program continues with presentations focused on oral rehabilitation of elderly patients (Assoc. Prof. Dr. Iustin Olariu), followed by an extensive session of oral communications reflecting the diversity and complexity of the field. The topics covered include pediatric dentistry, periodontology, orthodontics, modern endodontics, the use of artificial intelligence, complications of systemic treatments, dental aesthetics, and new directions in regenerative medicine.
Through its thematic diversity and the high scientific level of its presentations, the GoldArt Congress offers participants the opportunity to access cutting-edge information, interact with distinguished specialists, and actively contribute to the exchange of ideas and best practices.
