ISTANBUL, Turkey: From 15 to 18 April, IDEX Istanbul 2026 will convene the global dental industry at the Istanbul Expo Center. One of the world’s leading dental exhibitions, the event is set to welcome dental professionals, manufacturers and decision makers to explore emerging technologies, sustainable solutions and new business opportunities in oral healthcare.

Last year’s IDEX Istanbul consolidated the event’s position as the largest dental exhibition in the region and the second largest worldwide. The 2025 edition attracted 98,595 attendees from more than 135 countries, and the organisers aim to build on that momentum this year.

Across 60,000 m² in six halls, the exhibition is expected to host more than 100,000 dental professionals from Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. International visitors are projected to account for over 35% of total attendance, reinforcing the event’s role as a global networking and business platform for the dental industry.

IDEX Istanbul 2026 will present a broad range of innovations shaping the future of dentistry, including artificial intelligence-powered clinical systems, CAD/CAM solutions, and biocompatible and eco-friendly materials, as well as 3D-printing, imaging, robotics and automation technologies. More than 750 dental companies and over 7,000 brands are expected to showcase their latest products and solutions.

The exhibition will be complemented by a comprehensive educational programme featuring over 150 speakers, hands-on workshops and live demonstrations. Accredited continuing education sessions and interactive panel discussions will provide opportunities for professional development and knowledge exchange.

At IDEX Istanbul 2026, participants will be able to engage directly with manufacturers, follow current industry trends, inform their investment decisions and establish new collaborations. As in previous years, the event aims to facilitate international connections that form the basis for long-term partnerships.

Positioned as a hub for innovation and sustainability in dentistry, IDEX Istanbul offers a platform for industry stakeholders to engage with the latest developments in technology, as well as with professional education and global cooperation.
