A propos

It works at national and international level through its own activities and those of its member dental associations. It is in official relations with the World Health Organization (WHO) and is a member of the World Health Professions Alliance WHPA.

  • <p></p><p><i></i></p>In 2017, FDI returns to Spain to hold its World Dental Congress (WDC). It is an exciting prospect to be hosted by a founder member and enthusiastic and active supporter of FDI: the Spanish Dental Association (Consejo General de Colegios Odontólogos y Estomatólogos de España). <br><br>Madrid has already played host to three WDC, including one of the earliest Annual Sessions1 in 1903, on the invitation of Dr Florestan Aguilar of Spain. He was an FDI founding father, former President and Secretary-General, and towering presence for over 30 years in our federation’s early work. <br><br>Madrid is also an exciting prospect for exhibitors to display their equipment, products and services in a mature and growing oral health market. According to 2016 statistics by Eurostat, of the just-under 330,000 practising dentists in Europe, nearly one-tenth are in Spain (32,429), making it the continent’s fourth largest dental market. Annual sales of dental equipment are well in excess of EUR 65 million, while growth in the dental market is estimated at 2% per year. <br><br>FDI’s World Dental Congress is one of the world’s oldest international events under the name of one of the world’s oldest medical-sector organizations. It is the ‘must-attend’ international meeting point for sharing policy, information and ideas on dentistry and oral health. It is also a highly reputable source of continuing education allowing dentists and other oral health practitioners to stay abreast of the latest technology and practices. It regularly offering courses by speakers from over 30 countries. Other congress features include the World Oral Health Forum, which provides an opportunity to debate hot topics in oral health and related issues. <br><br>The World Dental Exhibition has been an integral part of the WDC ever since 1929, when an Oral Health Exhibition first took place in association with the 23rd FDI Annual Session in Utrecht (Netherlands). The dental profession and the dental industry are essential partners in delivering oral health to populations around the world. Their symbiotic relationship is even more important today as new materials and technology are developed rapidly to accommodate the latest treatment philosophies. <br><br>The renowned IFEMA Feria de Madrid is a prime event venue and clear benchmark in the international show and conference sector. With some 500 events organized annually, it plays a vital role in the local and national economy as a key vector for promoting Madrid, hence Spain. <br><br>The city of Madrid, the capital of Spain, with a population of just over 3 million, is one of the world’s leading conference and tourism destinations. It is famous for its rich cultural heritage, baroque architecture, elegant boulevards, beautifully-landscaped parks as well as its starred restaurants and bustling night-life. <br><br>We look forward to seeing you in Madrid, 29 August -1 September 2017, for the FDI World Dental Congress and international dental exhibition.<br><br>Dr. Patrick Hescot <br>President of FDI World Dental Federation<br><p><b></b></p><p></p>

  • <p></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong>The FDI Annual World Dental Congress is unique in the opportunities it provides for learning and debate with dental col leagues from around the world.</strong></p><p>The FDI Annual World Dental Congress is, in fact, two interconnected but distinct events: on the one hand, there is an international congress with a first-rate scientific programme deliv­ered by top international, regional and national speakers. FDI is proud to bring together in one place some of the recognized ‘heavyweights’ of the international dental community, all of them specialists in key areas of modern dentistry. We are also very proud of some of the new sessions, first introduced in 2012. They include ‘meet the expert’ sessions, a true innovation, where partic­ipants have the opportunity of interacting with major figures in international dentistry. A recent innovation has been the World Oral Health Fo­rum, usually in two separate sessions, which fo­cuses on areas on public policy and oral health. The aim is to widen the debate, with speakers from other health or policy sectors.</p><p>On the other hand, the FDI congress is the once-yearly get-together of the World Dental Parliament, a decades-long part of FDI. It is a mixture of formal and informal sessions: central is the General Assembly, our federation’s su­preme legislative and governing body, where the project leaders from among FDI membership report on progress over the past twelve months in key areas where FDI and its partners are in­crementally moving towards FDI’s ultimate goal of ‘Leading the World to Optimal Oral Health’. This is supplemented by the three Open Forums, where policy debate takes place in as less formal atmosphere.</p><p>Poland is an excellent choice because, with a resilient economy, demand for dental services is growing rapidly, with growth in the private dental sector estimated between 20 and 30% per year. So it makes sense to hold an international event there at this time.</p><p>Geographically, Poland is at a cross roads and we believe ideally placed to attract participants from throughout Europe. We also believe that it has the potential to attract participants from around the world. In addition, we know that we have a top quality local team so we really expect a large turn­out for the FDI Annual World Dental Congress in Poznan and count on it being the landmark inter­national event in dentistry in 2016.</p><p><strong>Dr Patrick Hescot</strong></p><p><strong>FDI President</strong></p><br><p></p>
