D ear participants, with this event, we want to remember the Master Willi Geller, and above all honor the precious heritage of values he left us, which we want to help preserve and pass on to future generations. The Memorial is an opportunity to pay tribute to the master, his work, and commemorate his legacy, highlighting his achievements and contributions to the field of dentistry. It is a unique opportunity to share his philosophy and that of oral design, a passion for beauty and excellence in dental aesthetics. Being present means being part of a moment in history where the past meets the present and the present projects itself into the future without distorting the true essence that underpins the oral design philosophy: the individual and his uniqueness at the heart of our commitment, nature as an example to be imitated, and passion as the guiding thread of our being.

Philosophy

 

In 1982, Willi Geller founded the Oral Design group with the aim of sharing his philosophy worldwide.
This philosophy is based on an approach focused on the well-being of the individual, making a close and collaborative relationship between the clinician and the patient essential.

At the heart of this approach lies respect for the patient, their uniqueness, and their personality. From this foundation comes the possibility of achieving excellent results.

The first member to be appointed was Giuseppe Zuppardi.

Over the years, the Oral Design group has grown significantly and now includes 142 members from 35 countries.

Each national Oral Design group operates independently, with its own culture, structured to reflect the characteristics of its country while cooperating with members from other nations.

The Oral Design International Foundation oversees the Oral Design groups in each country, manages the core operational matters shared by all member countries, and facilitates cooperation between them. It supports national meetings and plays a key role in maintaining and promoting collaboration among the groups, as well as in the organization of cultural events, congresses, and hands-on courses.

The Oral Design International Foundation places patient aesthetics first, emphasizing harmony with nature while never overlooking the functionality of rehabilitations, always with the patient’s overall health as the primary goal.
