One say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…. But I’ll open an exception regarding the ADA Annual Session.

It was a great pleasure for me to accept ADA kind invitation to attend it’s Congress on behalf of FDI.

The problems of the profession are similar, at different scales, all over the world.And the answers are very often also global. FDI has a main role, as “leading the oral to optimal oral health”.

At the Opening Session

Dr. William R. Calnon was installed as the 148th president of the American Dental Association before the ADA House of Delegates Oct. 14.

Dr. Condoleeza rice, distinguished speaker at the Oppening Session, gave a wonderful speech regarding the political economical moment we are living in the US and at a global level.
