Returning to the Chinese mainland after more than a decade, the congress was themed "Building the Future of Oral Health Together" and achieved the largest academic scale in FDI history.
Adopting a dual-hall linkage model, the event featured an exhibition area of over 60,000 square meters, attracting more than 400 enterprises to showcase cutting-edge global dental technologies.
In parallel, dental professionals from more than 140 countries were invited to deliver over 200 academic sessions covering multiple specialties and integrated with diverse events.
AI real-time translation supported global knowledge sharing, while innovative achievements from Chinese dental schools highlighted the shift from "technology follower" to "standard leader".
On the afternoon of September 11, at the General Meeting of the FDI Membership,
