ISTANBUL, Turkey: In partnership with the Turkish Dental Association, FDI World Dental Federation has brought its flagship event, the World Dental Congress, back to the vibrant city of Istanbul in Turkey, which last hosted the event in 2013. This year’s congress (FDIWDC24) boasts an innovative scientific programme, forums addressing the latest developments in dentistry and an exhibition showcasing key competitors in the dental field, providing significant benefits to attendees.
Organised 110 times, the FDI World Dental Congress has solidified its reputation as a leading event in dentistry, continuously driving the advancement of dental science and practice through pioneering scientific discussions, interactive forums and a broad industry exhibition. As the global voice of the dental profession, the congress is dedicated to strengthening connections and promoting collaboration within the oral health community, offering an exclusive platform for building partnerships within the dental industry.
Educational opportunities
FDIWDC24 is contributing meaningfully to continuing education for dentists worldwide, offering 144 ADA CERP credits. The educational programme this year boasts substantial advancements owing to a more diverse range of speakers, a record number of abstract submissions and a strong emphasis on digital dentistry.
As part of the programme, the second edition of the Young Dentists Forum underscores the dental profession’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of dentists. The forum will gather hundreds of dental practitioners, researchers and students from around the world, providing a platform for sharing the latest insights and leveraging networking opportunities.
Renowned expert Dr Miguel Stanley is a presenter at the Young Dentists Forum. “It is a big deal to be invited by FDI, and I truly am grateful for the opportunity to engage with the future leaders in dentistry. It is also a fantastic opportunity to meet and interact with dental experts from around the world who will be coming to Istanbul for this unique event in dentistry. FDIWDC24 promises to be a rich platform for the exchange of ideas and knowledge on a global scale,” he said in a recent interview.
Scientific programme and interactive formats
At FDIWDC24, 279 speakers are delivering cutting-edge lectures on the most critical topics in dentistry. New interactive formats are being introduced, including 16 meet-the-expert sessions and 28 hands-on workshops, providing opportunities for participants to engage with key leaders and the latest scientific developments. In total, FDIWDC24 will host over 150 sessions, taking place in parallel over ten halls.
Exhibition and industry partners
The FDIWDC24 exhibition allows industry leaders to showcase their latest innovations and participants to discover the newest advancements to enhance their practices. Industry partners also contribute to the scientific programme, sharing their innovations and advancements in dental education through special sessions. Overall, more than 150 companies are exhibiting at FDIWDC24.
Istanbul Declaration and focus on oral health
Eleven years ago, during the 2013 FDI World Dental Congress, the Istanbul Declaration was adopted, focusing on integrating oral health into overall health. Through this declaration, FDI and its members called for expanding the scope of dental practice to improve the general health and well-being of the communities they serve.
“For the last 20 years, I have been regularly attending the World Dental Congress and am impressed by the speed with which priorities and goals within FDI policy are changing,” said FDIWDC24 speaker and green dentistry advocate Dr Hrvoje Pezo. “Recognising crucial topics on the periphery of the profession, such as green dentistry, positions FDI as a world leader in driving change and contributing to the public good. Its influence extends beyond health, embracing a wide range of innovative ideas,” he continued.
FDI strategic plan 2024–2027
FDIWDC24 is being held in accordance with FDI’s new strategic plan, which focuses on three key pillars: advocacy, knowledge exchange and innovation. This strategy is aimed at realising FDI’s vision of a world with optimal oral health.
