Continuing Education

Development through continuing education is an essential part of the dental profession. It is an important aspect of modern evidence-based dental practice. Furthermore, it is essential that dentists maintain an up to date clinical and theoretical knowledge of the art and science of dentistry. The FDI organises a number of events to support this requisite.
