The Association of Dental Implantology (ADI) turns 40 in 2027! This spectacular milestone is a cause for celebration for the four decades of research, education and support that the ADI community has provided to dentistry and the thousands of patients who have had their lives improved with by the high standard of dental implant treatments promoted by the ADI.
To mark the momentous event, four long-time ADI members will embark on an epic bike ride in the lead up to ADI Team Congress 2027, taking place on 15-17 April. Dr Andrew Little, Dr Adam Bzeu, Dr Amit Mistry and Dr Kasia Gurzawska will take on the fundraising challenge of cycling 200 plus miles to the event – and doing so in two days!
Beginning in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, “200 Miles to Congress” will see the four ride down the east coast to Dublin where they’ll catch the ferry across to Holyhead, England, and then continue on to King’s Dock in Liverpool, where ADI Team Congress 2027 is being held at the Liverpool Experience Campus (LEX). They will finish the journey at the front doors of the venue, no doubt tired, but ready to celebrate the ADI’s 40th birthday.
This is a unique fundraising initiative that reinforces the passion of the dental profession and the 40 years’ worth of members who have kept the ADI thriving. The chosen two charities connect with the Congress theme of Health and Wellbeing, highlighting the value of a healthy lifestyle, both physically and mentally:
- Dentists’ Health Support Trust – supporting the mental health and wellbeing of members of the dental profession (and who are also celebrating 40 years)
- Young Lives vs Cancer – providing invaluable support to children, young people and their families facing cancer
As a profession, dentistry can be exhausting and sometimes isolating. Communities like the ADI help bring the profession together, providing support and inspiration to ensure the next generation are even more ready to face some of the challenges that come with the role. The wellbeing of dentists, dental technicians, dental therapists, dental hygienists and dental nurses is paramount for both personal and professional satisfaction, and this year’s theme was chosen to start conversations and improve the resources available to each member of the dental team.
Show your support
Every donation made will be split and sent directly to the two charities. The target of £10,000 has been set, with fundraising beginning already and the hope that we can far exceed this.

Plan for the future
ADI Team Congress 2027 is titled “The Future in Focus: Four Decades of Implant Excellence”. It is the perfect event to both look back at the last 40 years of achievements made in dental implantology and look ahead at what the future may bring, from the new technologies and the latest techniques, to changes in how education is delivered and the benefits available to ADI members.
Promising expert clinical education, innovation and an all-round unmissable networking experience, ADI Team Congress 2027 is the place to be. Save the Team date and cheer on Dr Andrew Little, Dr Adam Bzeu, Dr Amit Mistry and Dr Kasia Gurzawska on the road to Liverpool!
