Word Dental Federation organises virtual summit on sustainability in dentistry

World Dental Federation (FDI) announces the upcoming second edition of its virtual summit on Sustainability in Dentistry, set to take place from June 18-20, 2024. This event will offer a platform for presenting case studies, sharing best practices and providing informative resources aimed at improving sustainable practices within the dental profession.

The inaugural Sustainability in Dentistry summit was held in 2023 to mark World Environment Day. 

The summit will also be an opportunity to get familiar with FDI’ Sustainability in Dentistry project, recognising the efforts to mitigate the environmental footprint by stakeholders in dentistry and practitioners worldwide, and the diverse resources that have been developed as part of the initiative, including an open online course for dentists and dental teams, a pledge for sustainable oral healthcare, a sustainability toolkit, and more.
