The EAO Podcast: Clinical Matters

Clinical Matters is a new podcast from the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO). Each episode brings you closer to the science behind implant dentistry, translating cutting-edge research into practical insights you can apply in daily clinical practice.

Each month, hosts Nicole Winitsky and Lukas Fürhauser will bring you conversations with world-renowned clinicians who share the science, stories and strategies shaping our field.⁣⁣⁣ From research breakthroughs to practical insights you can apply in daily practice, this is your new go-to channel for professional growth and connection.⁣⁣⁣

In this episode, EAO President Gil Alcoforado shares expert insights on immediate implant placement, evidence-based decision making, and the importance of prioritising long-term biological outcomes.

The conversation highlights how clinicians can balance scientific evidence with clinical experience to support safer, more predictable treatment decisions in daily practice.


In this very first episode of the Clinical Matters, we are honoured to introduce Dr. Istvan Urban. He is far more than a skilled surgeon—his mastery of intraoral bone and soft-tissue regeneration is truly extraordinary.

In this conversation, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the strategies, principles, and thought processes behind his remarkable regenerative results.

Expect to deepen your understanding of soft- and hard-tissue management to further refine your skills, enabling you to deliver even better treatment outcomes for your patients.
