Media Invitation: All your dental questions answered in one place — the Montreal FDI Annual World Dental Congress!
August 23, 2005 — Montreal — If you suddenly feel the urge to floss meticulously in the coming week — don't panic. It is not the result of some freaky gravitational moon pull. It's just that more than 15,000 dentists and dental team members from around the world are converging on the city of Montreal next week for the Fédération Dentaire Internationale FDI Congress. Their presence will no doubt create a dental energy force of epic proportions.
Spokespeople from the three hosting organizations — the FDI, the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) and the Ordre des dentistes du Québec (ODQ) — will be onsite and available to answer your questions about cutting edge dental research, dental practice and techniques, trends and social issues.
Interviews can also be arranged with scientific speakers. To view the final meeting program, please click one of the following links:
