| Fig 1: FDI is one of the oldest dental organisations and its membership comprises about 200 national dental associations and specialist groups in over 130 countries. Fig 2: The internationality
of the event is drawn home when FDI member countries display their countries’ flags during the rousing flag ceremony, which is part of each congress opening. Fig 3: Presentations and
posters submitted and reviewed by an expert panel ahead of the congress will be on display in Sydney.

Co-hosted jointly with the Australian
Dental Association (ADA), the 2023 World
Dental Congress will take place at the
International Convention Centre Sydney
in Australia from 24 to 27 September.
The last time Australia hosted the World
Dental Congress was in 2003. FDI had
initially awarded the congress to Australia for 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic
eventually meant that the in-person
event had to pivot online in very short
order. It is expected that the 2023 event

will be the largest dental event held in
Sydney since the pandemic. It will also
replace this year’s Australian Dental
Congress, which is run by the ADA every
two years, drawing between 4,000 and
6,000 dental professionals to the city.
Over the course of four days, this
year’s congress will offer a cutting-edge
scientific programme with more than
220 sessions and interactive forums
covering the most relevant topics in
dentistry. The programme will feature
presentations by the leading figures in
dentistry from Australia and abroad.
[See pages 6 to 10 to learn more about
speaker and programme highlights.]
Of particular note will be the inaugural
FDI Young Dentists Forum. On 27 September,
this new event will gather young dentists

from all over the world to learn about
today’s hottest topics in dentistry. It will
also be a unique opportunity for dental
students and professionals who have just
started their dental career to find out
more about development opportunities
within the dental profession, to grow
their professional network and to learn
about the work done by FDI.
The congress will also host a dental exhibition displayed over multiple
halls and involving over 150 exhibitors,
keeping dental professionals up to date
with the latest advancements in dental
products and services. Each day, various
industry symposia will be offered in addition to the main scientific programme.
[See pages 10 to 14 to find out more about
industry innovations to be presented at
this year’s congress.]

In addition, the 2023 FDI World Dental
Parliament sessions will be held concurrently with the congress. The FDI Parliament is the legislative body for the world
of dentistry, and during its sessions,
all FDI member associations come together
to discuss, formulate and decide on policies that shape how issues like oral health
promotion and general dentistry policy
are handled on a global basis.

created a unique indoor tournament based
on the popular outdoor game of cricket.
Indoor cricket was started in Australia in
the 1970s. It is a fast-paced game that takes
place on a court surrounded by a net
enclosure. The game is suitable for people
of all ages. In total, there will be around
12 teams with six to eight players each.
This is a complimentary offer to registered
delegates of the congress.

Pre-congress social events
On 23 September between 6:45 and
16:45 (times are subject to change), the
world’s first “Tooth and Wicket Cricket”
tournament will be held as part of
the World Dental Congress social programme. Delegates from around the
world will have the chance to compete in
what is now the second most popular
sport in the world. The organisers have

On the same day, the official opening ceremony will be held at the
convention centre at 18:00. During the
festive event, participants can expect
a typical Australian welcome, spectacular entertainment and the traditional
FDI flag ceremony. Attendance of the
opening is included in the registration fee;
however, delegates are required to
register in advance.

New strategy for WOHD to be revealed at World Dental Congress
| A conversation with Dr Anna Lella, World Oral Health Day task team chair

elebrated every year on 20 March,
World Oral Health Day (WOHD)
is the largest global awareness
campaign on oral health. The WOHD
task team oversees the development
and implementation of the campaign
strategy. Dr Anna Lella from Poland
is the task team’s chair, and she talks
about the initiative’s significance and
strategic plans for the upcoming years
in this interview.
What is the main mission of WOHD,
and why does it matter on a global
scale?
WOHD is an initiative of the global
community of dental practitioners
who want to assist their patients not
only by providing them with individual treatment, but also by raising
social awareness of the importance
of maintaining good oral health.
WOHD is a worldwide celebration held with a significant mission:
to empower people with the knowledge and tools to prevent and control oral diseases. These diseases
have a significant impact on people’s
lives and are a major health concern
in many countries, affecting nearly
3.5 billion people worldwide. They

cause pain, discomfort, social isolation and loss of self-confidence and
are often connected to other serious
health problems. However, the good
news is that most oral health conditions are largely preventable and
treatable when addressed early on.
This is why we as dentists put so
much emphasis on prevention.
WOHD encourages individuals to
prioritise their oral health through a
good oral hygiene routine and by
managing risk factors. By preserving
oral health, not only do we do good to
our mouths, but also we contribute to
our overall health and well-being.
Could you tell us more about the
campaign’s global impact?
Since its launch in 2007, WOHD’s
reach and impact have significantly
grown, thanks to the invaluable engagement of FDI, the national dental
organisations and individual dentists
worldwide. Three years ago, FDI kickstarted the Be Proud of Your Mouth
campaign, motivating people to
value and care for their oral health.
This powerful call to action encouraged individuals to place an ornate
art frame over their mouths using

the different #MouthProud tools
available online and on social media,
symbolising their commitment to
prioritising oral health.
Through this campaign, we hoped
to motivate people to value and take
care of their mouths and understand
that, by doing so, they can also help
protect and improve their general
health and well-being. The response
was incredible! Thousands of people
worldwide got involved through
events organised by dental associations, specialist groups and the
wider healthcare community. More
than 26,000 proud mouths were
shared across various online platforms, 223 countries and territories
got involved and the average media
reach was four billion.
Thanks to this tremendous engagement, we made a significant impact
and were able to successfully wrap
up the Be Proud of Your Mouth
campaign.
What are the plans for the future
of WOHD?
The campaign’s growth has been
truly remarkable. As we move forward,

our challenge is to capitalise on
this momentum and create a lasting
impact over the next three years.
Our mission remains clear: to take
meaningful action towards ending
the neglect of global oral health.

awareness and roll out the campaign
in your community. Whatever you
decide to do—however big or small—
contributes to improving the oral
health of populations globally.

The campaign strategy will be
unveiled during the WOHD launch on
24 September at the WDC in Sydney.

You can get involved in a way that
best suits you! Visit our main website
at www.worldoralhealthday.org for
inspiration and tailor-made ideas
to celebrate. Everyone’s actions will
help to keep us moving towards our
collective goal: better oral health for
all. Download our campaign materials to support your WOHD activities
and events. All resources are free
to download and use, and most are
available in English, French and
Spanish. Of course, you can also
arrange translation of selected materials into your national or local
languages. We have a wide range on
offer.

How can individuals actively participate in WOHD and support its
objectives?
FDI relies on individual action
worldwide to roll out WOHD in each
country and to create a truly global
movement. We encourage you to
use your local expertise to create

Stay tuned as we develop new
resources for the next three-year
campaign. The first ones will become
available in October. New resources
will be added throughout the
campaign, so check back regularly to
access all the materials and celebrate
WOHD with us.

To achieve this, FDI has developed a new strategic approach for
WOHD 2024–2026. This approach
aims to increase engagement across
various stakeholder groups and
inspire as many people as possible
to prioritise their oral health. We have
taken into account valuable campaign
insights, advancements in the digital
and global health domains, and feedback from FDI members, campaign
organisers and partners.

showcase to FDI World Dental Congress
for CBCT images, the new Romexis
Ortho Simulator software module
for generating orthodontic simulations and improvements to existing software modules, such as
Planmeca Romexis CMF Surgery.

| The much-anticipated FDI World
Dental Congress is fast approaching. Over the course of the four-day
event, global dental manufacturer
Planmeca will be presenting its
range of products and innovations,
including the new features of
Planmeca Romexis and Planmeca
Viso that are based on artificial intelligence (AI).
The Planmeca Viso family of
next-generation CBCT imaging units
offer innovative patient positioning,
easy usability and outstanding
image quality. The powerful units
include advanced features for all
users and purposes, from 2D and

10

3D imaging to the most demanding
requirements of maxillofacial diagnostics. Moreover, the newest addition to the family, Planmeca Viso G3,
facilitates premium imaging of the
whole dentition and comes with
all the benefits of the high-end
Viso technology.
Planmeca’s advanced imaging
solutions are complemented by
the company’s acclaimed all-in-one
Planmeca Romexis software platform, which is receiving a trove of
exciting new functionalities to be
demonstrated at the event. The new
features include Romexis Smart,
a new AI-based segmentation tool

Congress visitors will also get to
know the new Planmeca PlanMill 35
chairside milling unit, which comes
with both wet and dry processing
capabilities and allows for efficient
and precise fabrication of a wide
range of dental restorations, including
crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers and up
to six-unit bridges. This allows dental
practices to offer new services to
their patients as well as to elevate the
customer experience with same-day
restorations. In combination with the
fast Planmeca Emerald S intra-oral
scanner, the Planmeca PlanMill 35
milling unit is the ideal partner for any
dental clinic planning to take charge
of the restorative workflow.
Also on display will be the popular Planmeca Compact i5 dental unit
and the Planmeca ProX intra-oral
radiographic unit, a flexible and
effective 2D-imaging solution for
dental practices.
Visitors can find out more about
Planmeca’s various products, meet
with a Planmeca representative and
network with their peers at Booth #U147,
where the company will be joined
by German dental manufacturer
KaVo Dental, which became part
of Planmeca Group at the end of
2021.

Like with previous congresses
organised by the Australian Dental
Association (ADA), the exhibition
will offer the chance for attendees to
talk with company representatives
and try many products on-site.
The event will be the first in-person
FDI event of this kind since 2019.
A chance to meet with others
Nicolette Hughes, the primary
exhibition manager for the 2023
World Dental Congress, is keen to
present the exhibition not only as
a great place to do research and
business but also as a place in which
attendees can meet with others and
perhaps take some time out from
the agreeable hustle and bustle of
a major international dental event.
She said: “In addition to all the great
exhibitors who will be present,
we’re also planning wellness zones
where attendees can rest their feet
for a while, a “Tastes of Australia”
area, in which the superlative food
of Australia will be available, and of

course, coffee baristas! We know
that coffee fuels many events, and
it won’t be any different at this
congress. We appreciate the involvement of every company that
has chosen to exhibit at the congress, and I’m sure delegates will
find a great choice of attractions
at the exhibition to interest them
wherever they go!”
The ADA team behind the
organisation of congress, and particularly the exhibition, is keen to
share that it wants to create a
community feel to the space. The
Exhibition Late Night event, to be
held on 26 September, will offer
delegates the chance to wander
around the various booths with
drinks and canapés in hand while
chatting in a relaxed and collegial
environment.
The exhibition will open on
24 September, the first day of the
congress.

at home
A true perfectionist for clean,

with seven individually adjustable power levels and three different brush heads (power, sensitive and single), every single
tooth is cleaned. The high number of movements of the specially arranged Curen filaments—
long filaments on the outside
and short filaments on the inside
of the brush head—produce a
whirl of toothpaste, water and saliva that removes plaque, food
debris and bacteria.

Professionally cared even
when on the move
Once charged, the battery in
the handpiece lasts a about
60 minutes. The power remains
consistently strong until the end.
The battery can be charged using
the medallion-sized charging
station. The practical, robust case
contains two additional brush
heads. So well protected, you are
ready to go.

The soft Curen filaments are
also suitable for patients with diabetes, implants and or braces,
who typically have sensitive

Patients prefer Guided Biofilm Therapy
avoid developing diseases such
as caries and periodontitis by
adopting a healthy lifestyle and
implementing an effective personal
oral hygiene routine to remove
plaque.3, 4 Undergoing professional
prophylaxis is also of great importance. Methods, instruments and
materials used for this purpose
should therefore be state of the
art.5

| The basis of good oral and general
health is a clean mouth. Wellinformed patients know this and
visit the dentist for professional
prophylaxis regularly. An ongoing
global survey by EMS on patients’
preferences regarding the method
used showed that around 92% of
the 76,000 patients who completed

the survey between May 2021 and
March 2022 favoured Guided Biofilm
Therapy (GBT). To date, the survey
findings have been confirmed by
more than 250,000 participants.
The World Health Organization
has identified oral disease as a
key health problem.1, 2 Patients can

ments. The subsequent polishing
unnecessarily removes enamel.8
In addition, in order to save time,
disclosing of plaque is often neglected. As a result, significantly
more biofilm remains compared
with GBT, for which a standardised
disclosing agent is used.9, 10
Questionnaires and results
Prevention-oriented practices
that systematically apply the recommended GBT protocol administered the questionnaires and provided the anonymised responses to
EMS. The questionnaires contained
eight questions, covering overall
assessment of GBT, surface smoothness achieved, usefulness of disclosing plaque prior to treatment
and direct comparison with the
conventional prophylaxis method,
among others.

Method comparison
EMS’s GBT is a systematic, comprehensively documented clinical
protocol developed in collaboration with researchers and practitioners. Its aim is to clean all oral
surfaces as thoroughly as possible
using a minimally invasive method.6
In GBT, after disclosing of plaque,
the biofilm is gently removed

Based on the risks and needs of the
individual patient, GBT is suitable
for both primary prophylaxis and
secondary prophylaxis for periodontitis and peri-implantitis
therapy. Owing to its particular
practical benefit, in combination
with the comprehensive scientific
documentation supporting GBT,
it is recommended by numerous
prominent experts from practice
and academia.7, 12–15 The high level
of patient satisfaction found by
the survey leads to a very good
