World Oral Health Day 2022: how can industry drive innovation to improve oral health?Ahead of World Oral Health Day (WOHD) on Sunday 20 March, FDI World Dental Federation and prominent stakeholders from the dental industry, will get together to discuss the role of innovation and technology in shaping the future of oral health.
Industry has a key role to play in providing the necessary tools to facilitate dental professional’s work on prevention, early detection and treatment of oral diseases globally.
Under the theme ‘Be Proud of Your Mouth’ for your happiness and well-being, the WOHD 2022 campaign provides an ideal opportunity to explore the links between oral health, general health and quality of life, and discuss the contributions that key innovation leaders are making to improve the oral health of millions of people across the world.
Today, an armada of new technologies is revolutionizing dentistry, easing the work of dental professionals, improving patient experiences, and also leading the transformation towards sustainable practices. Innovative oral health programmes and educational tools are fostering the adherence to good oral hygiene behaviors. In addition, some of these solutions provide cost-effective prevention and treatment options, improving access to care for underserved communities and populations.
These disruptive innovations may have a huge impact on how patients will improve their oral health knowledge and behaviour in the future, and on how dentists and dental teams will be able to deliver safer and more effective interventions, at both the individual and population levels.
In this session, Align Technology, Dentsply Sirona and Unilever, valued partners of the WOHD campaign, will present their perspectives on some of the strategies, technologies and tools that are shaping the future of oral health by helping dental professionals in the prevention, early detection and care of oral diseases so that people can be proud of their mouth.

In my capacity as the Chair for the FDI Sustainability in Dentistry team, I can confirm that there is a huge amount of work ongoing with industry and the whole supply chain – A consensus statement, first of its type is about to be launched.
Watch this space!
Tele-dentistry is very important & welcome and I think it is important to have this public-private partnership to make it happen. Just a comment
Is the icloud compatible with the GDPR requirement for data protection in the UK?
Teledentistry and most oral health technology platforms rely heavily on internet connectivity which is a huge issue for most of rural india. How could we use these technologies benefit this part of the disadvantaged population?
Greetings from Saudi-Arabia. Excellent presentations, thank you!
How industry leaders can work on universal health coverage to improve oral health
I agree with the experts, getting the Doctor in the rural area is somewhat difficult but if we have these digital tools on ground then screening can be done and further treatment given to the patients using the therapists who may be in that area.
Thank you – from Mobile Dental Hygienist FlyingSmiles in rural Scotland. I think this digitalisation would be a great tool in my business. Thank you again
Hello from Ndola Zambia
Thank you for the presentations. When is the dental camp launching in Nigeria
Great lecture! I am going to contribute my volunteer by Dental Camp in my hometown. Any new suggestions from your point of view ? Thank you
Access to Dental Care for All is grand mission – how can this be achieved without investing in dental workforce to facilitate access for treatment needs?
Thank you all for this amazing presentation. I have a question to Madame Monika concerning Morocco we would love to be one of the countries prticipating in the camps with FDI
What practical tools is FDI and partner companies offering and promoting for more sustainable dentistry to cut down on plastic waste?
While industry vendor technological innovation is greatly valuable, often it is out of reach for the developing nation. How does the panel imagine technology becoming scalable and transferable?
Congratulations! Great presentation!
May I please know how I can contribute as a dental care professional with the unilever dental camps and what steps will they follow to ensure a sustainable program?
Thanks to the speakers and happy WOHD.
How can dentist from another country volunteer in the teledent project?
thank you
Good evening everyone, from India
iTero technology is amazing, but it is not accessible to all due to large sunk cost/investment. What is the strategy to make the benefits of this innovation be accessible to everyone to improve health inequities?
Good evening from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
I love the innovation aspect to improve oral health which is easy and quick, However, I wonder the feasibility of this in a rural setting. I mean use of tech objects like smart phones to access the information. Are the people given these tech tools to allow them use the technology at hand?
Wonderful presentation Monica. Can we find out how the Dental CAMPS are going to be run? and how long the project or programme will run for. Dr Patrick, Ghana
