The 3rd Knotgroup "Los Orígenes" Congress, held in person in Vigo on May 27 and digitally with international broadcast during the first week of June, brought together thousands of attendees from more than 19 countries. With an eye toward the future, the event served as a forum to discuss the application of new technologies in dentistry.
