The Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam is delighted to welcome you at the International Saliva Symposium 2026.  Everyone who is interested in this multifunctional fluid is invited to join the symposium in Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands.

The International Saliva Symposium 2026 will discuss the role of saliva in dentistry and medicine, in food and taste experience,  and its use for diagnostics. We want to bring together scientists from all fields of salivary research and to stimulate scientific exchange in a friendly atmosphere. Keynote lectures by invited speakers, all experts in their field, are followed by presentations of participants. You are invited to submit an abstract and present your work by an oral or poster presentation.

Egmond aan Zee used to be a small fishing town that has turned into one of the major Dutch tourist resorts without losing its quaint appearance.
