Selection Criteria:

Original abstracts from registered participants will be accepted, as well as those already presented at other congresses/symposiums from September 2025 onward. Only simple abstracts, with complete content, including title and keywords, limited to a single page, will be accepted. Abstracts may cover experimental work, retrospective or prospective studies, as well as clinical and surgical case reports that provide a relevant technical-scientific contribution.

The relevance of the topic and the quality of the manuscript will be evaluated by a scientific committee made up of at least two reviewers.

Papers must be written and submitted exclusively in Portuguese through the submission platform available on the event website, via an online form. No other submission methods will be accepted. Only papers whose presenting author is duly registered for the event will be considered, with up to ten authors allowed per paper. Each registered participant may submit only one abstract as presenter, regardless of authorship on other papers.

Once submitted, no changes to the papers will be possible. Papers submitted more than once will be rejected. No exchange or addition of authors, nor changes to the title, author names, or content of the paper, will be permitted.

Electronic Banner Formatting

Authors whose abstracts have been approved must prepare an electronic banner, which will be displayed digitally during the event. So that all banners follow a standard and remain aligned, it is important to observe the following guidelines:

• Software: prepare the banner in PowerPoint, using a widescreen slide in vertical (portrait) orientation.
• Mandatory size in pixels: 3840 high × 2180 wide.
• Mandatory size in centimeters: 97.54 high × 55.37 wide.
• Mandatory size in inches: 38.40 high × 21.79 wide.
• File format: once finished, save the final file as a JPG.
• Content: clearly include title, authors, institution, introduction, objectives, methodology, results, and conclusions.

Remember: set the slide size before you start building the banner (in PowerPoint: Design > Slide Size > Custom Slide Size), as changing the dimensions later may distort the content. The size must be respected to keep the event standardized.

Put your best effort into the content and presentation of your work!
