Recently, the highly anticipated FDI World Dental Congress 2025 will be held grandly at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai) from September 9th to 12th. This conference is jointly organized by the World Dental Federation (FDI), the Chinese Stomatological Association (CSA), and the Reed Exhibitions of Chinese Medicine (RSE). As one of the highest standard and most comprehensive annual events in the global field of dentistry, its influence radiates globally. It is not only a “showcase window” for global dental technology innovation, but also a “core engine” for promoting international cooperation and clinical level improvement in the industry.
It is reported that the FDI World Dental Congress is known as the “Dental Olympics”, representing the latest development level and direction of world dentistry. Since the establishment of FDI in 1900, its mission has always been to “improve the oral health of the global population”. Through the establishment of industry standards, academic exchanges, and promotion of technology popularization, it has set an authoritative benchmark in the field of global oral healthcare. At present, FDI has established a membership network covering 134 countries and regions, directly representing over 1 million dentists. Its annual world conferences have become a core platform for global dental practitioners to obtain cutting-edge information and expand international cooperation.
From the preparation of this conference, the scale and influence have reached a new high. It is expected to attract over 35000 professional visitors from 134 countries and regions around the world, including clinical dentists, researchers, academic scholars, as well as participants in the entire industry chain such as oral medical equipment research and development enterprises, consumables manufacturers, and medical investment institutions. In the exhibition section, more than 700 corporate exhibitors will be divided into eight characteristic exhibition areas, including the “Orthodontic Technology Zone”, “Digital Oral Zone”, and “Oral Implant Zone”, within a 60000 square meter exhibition area. They will showcase cutting-edge products and technologies covering the entire process of prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, forming a high-density communication network spanning academia, technology, and industry, and building an integrated platform for “industry university research application” for the global dental medical industry.
At present, the four-day international academic schedule (in English) of this conference has been officially released. Covering 13 official professional directions including orthodontics, dental pulp, restoration, implantation, periodontics, pediatric dentistry, oral surgery, oral radiology, TMD and oral pain, special needs, public health, clinical practice, and thematic forums, a total of 400+conferences and activities have been held. Among them, the theme section of “bracket technology innovation and precision correction” in the field of orthodontics has become the “focus topic” of this conference.
In this theme section, the organizing committee not only invited global top experts such as Robert Boyd, former president of the American Association of Orthodontics (AAO), Kenichi Sato, an expert from the Japanese Orthodontic Society, and Professor Yanheng Zhou, a leading scholar in the field of orthodontics in China, to give keynote speeches, but also carefully designed three characteristic segments: “Analysis of Clinical Application Cases of New Brackets”, “Practical Workshop on Digital Bracket Positioning Technology”, and “Orthodontic Bracket Material Innovation Roundtable Forum”. Among them, the “Analysis of Clinical Application Cases of New Type Brackets” section will compare and analyze the efficacy differences of traditional metal brackets, ceramic brackets, self-locking brackets, and new intelligent brackets in correcting different dental and maxillofacial deformities through more than 20 real clinical cases from different regions around the world. The focus will be on exploring the correlation between bracket selection and correction cycle, patient comfort, and postoperative stability; The “Digital Bracket Positioning Technology Practical Workshop” will be equipped with more than 50 sets of advanced oral scanning equipment and digital design software. Industry experts will guide participants on-site to complete the entire process from oral 3D scanning, tooth model reconstruction to precise bracket positioning, helping clinical doctors quickly master the application skills of digital technology in bracket correction.
In terms of product display, the orthodontic bracket exhibition area will focus on presenting 12 cutting-edge products, covering multiple categories such as biocompatible ceramic brackets, self-locking low friction brackets, biodegradable polymer brackets, and invisible bracket accessory systems. It is worth noting that the “intelligent temperature control bracket” developed by an internationally renowned dental medical enterprise will make its first public appearance at this conference. The bracket is equipped with a micro temperature sensor and shape memory alloy archwire, which can automatically adjust the elasticity of the archwire by sensing changes in oral temperature. While ensuring the correction effect, it can shorten the traditional correction cycle by 20% -30%. Currently, more than 500 clinical validations have been completed in Europe and America, and its innovative technology and clinical value are expected to attract widespread attention in the industry. In addition, a domestic medical device company’s “3D printed personalized bracket” will also be exhibited. The product is customized and produced based on the patient’s oral three-dimensional data, and the bracket base and tooth surface adhesion are increased by 40%, effectively reducing the bracket detachment rate during the correction process and reducing the stimulation of the oral cavity mucosa, providing patients with a more comfortable correction experience.
In addition to professional academic and product exhibitions, the “The Digital Dentist” youth speech scene will also focus on the digital design of orthodontic brackets, inviting young dentists and researchers under the age of 30 from around the world to share the innovative achievements of AI technology in personalized bracket customization, intelligent optimization of correction plans, and other fields. Among them, a research team from the Technical University of Munich in Germany will showcase a bracket design system based on deep learning algorithms. The system can automatically generate bracket design schemes that meet the patient’s dental anatomy and correction needs by analyzing data from more than 100000 orthodontic cases. The design efficiency is more than three times higher than traditional methods, demonstrating the broad prospects of AI technology in promoting the transformation of the orthodontic bracket field and injecting new vitality into the industry’s development.
In addition, the conference will also hold various large-scale events to build a diversified communication platform for participants. At the opening ceremony, the FDI Chairman will release the “2025 Global Oral Health Development Report”, interpreting the current trends and challenges faced by the global oral healthcare industry; The conference dinner will feature an award ceremony for the “Global Dental Medical Innovation Award” to recognize companies and individuals who have made breakthroughs in orthodontic bracket technology, dental implant materials, and other fields; The “Shanghai Night” city promotion event will combine the development characteristics of Shanghai’s dental medical industry, organize participants to visit local leading dental medical institutions and research and development centers, and promote international industrial cooperation and technological exchanges.
From cutting-edge innovative achievements brought by international pavilions to technological breakthroughs showcased by local enterprises; From in-depth academic sharing by top experts to the collision of innovative ideas among young scholars, the FDI 2025 World Dental Congress is not only a gathering of technology and knowledge, but also a deep dialogue about the “future of the global oral system”. For professionals in the global field of dentistry, this conference is not only an important opportunity to obtain cutting-edge technological information and enhance clinical diagnosis and treatment capabilities, but also a valuable platform to expand international cooperation networks and promote the common development of the industry. It is worthy of the common expectations of dental practitioners worldwide.
