Dr. Robert Stanley Presents Guided Success in Bulgaria: The Future of Implantology
📍 Sofia, Bulgaria — September 18, 2025
This September, Dr. Robert Stanley – The Smile Engineer™ – brought digital innovation and clinical excellence to center stage in Sofia, Bulgaria. At an exclusive event hosted for 50 of our most dedicated clinicians, Dr. Stanley officially introduced the Tapered Pro Conical (TPC) implant, showcasing how precision design and modern digital workflows can transform outcomes in implantology.
A Session Designed for Engagement and Clarity
The program, titled “Digital Protocols, Guided Success: Introducing the Tapered Pro Conical”, was crafted to do more than present information—it was built to inspire confidence and spark meaningful dialogue.
Highlights included:
- Interactive Case Presentations – 3–4 Bulgarian doctors shared real patient cases, each followed by direct feedback from Dr. Stanley. This dynamic exchange gave attendees the chance to apply new insights to practical situations.
- Hands-On Explanations – With the aid of a whiteboard and a Madonna-style microphone for seamless delivery, Dr. Stanley broke down complex clinical concepts into actionable protocols.
- Myth-Busting Moments – Common misconceptions, such as the belief that subcrestal conical implants do not require a laser lock surface, were addressed head-on, ensuring attendees left with a clear understanding of the TPC’s clinical advantages.
Beyond the Lecture: Building Community
Following the 90-minute presentation, guests enjoyed a cocktail reception designed for connection and collaboration. The relaxed setting allowed clinicians to network, share insights, and discuss new opportunities for growth with the TPC system.
Why Europe? Why Now?
Dr. Stanley noted the growing appetite for educational events among European clinicians, a sharp contrast to the challenges often faced in the U.S. market. The Sofia event demonstrated that forward-thinking doctors across Europe are eager to adopt cutting-edge solutions when paired with education that is both practical and inspiring.
Looking Ahead
This debut in Sofia is only the beginning. With digital protocols paving the way for more predictable, esthetic outcomes, the Tapered Pro Conical implant is set to play a central role in shaping the future of modern implantology.
We are proud to stand alongside clinicians across Europe who share our vision: engineering smiles with precision, innovation, and confidence.

New Advil + Acetaminophen medication
For years, dentists have recommended combining ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) to safely enjoy the complementary pain relief benefits of both drugs. Earlier this year pharmaceutical maker, Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved their exclusive drug, Advil Dual Action with Acetaminophen for over-the-counter (OTC) use. This is the first ever, all-in-one product on the OTC market and the dental community is enthusiastic about the ease of use for patients.
Simplified medication protocol will hopefully yield more compliant patients and a reduced need to prescribe opioids. Based on data from multiple clinical studies, the new medication has been shown to achieve more thorough pain relief compared to the individual components taken separately. Additionally, studies show the advil + acetaminophen combination manages pain as effectively as narcotics.
Dr. Robert Stanley, a dentist in Cary NC and co-founder of Stanley Institute says, “The combination of the two medications is very effective. Advil Dual Action will help eliminate confusing directions for managing postoperative discomfort and makes discharge directions easier to follow. By complying more closely with doctor’s orders for pain relief, patients have a better overall dental experience. This is a great, safe addition to the dental arsenal.”
