The Portuguese Dental Association held its annual congress on the 6th, 7th and 8th November 2014, at Exponor in Porto, Portugal. The twenty-third edition of OMD’s congress had 48 speakers, 115 posters, 3110 attendances, 7250 visitors to Expo-Dentária and 130 companies with 347 booths at Expo-Dentária.

I would like to share with you some special moments, in special the launch of the first Portuguese Oral Health Barometer and its results.

See below a short video resuming the conclusions.

I would like to highlight the conference Dental Medicine in Europe . Aspects of the oral health system from different European realities were shared and debated with the audience.

Miller (President of the British Dental Association, United Kingdom), Juan Carlos Llodra (Secretary of the Consejo General de Colegios de Odontólogos y Estomatólogos de España, Spain), me as moderator of the conference, Catherine Mojaïsky (Confédération Nationale des Syndicats Dentaires, France), Óscar Castro Reino (President of the Consejo General de Colegios de Odontólogos y Estomatólogos de España, Spain), Filipa Carvalho Marques (Director of the Legal Department of the Portuguese Dental Association).

Meeting with Portuguese Dental Students Associations and European Dental Students’ Association.

It is always a huge effort to yearly launch such a congress, given that the Organizing Committee is only composed of volunteers. At the end an enormous pride fills us with a feeling of mission accomplished in contributing to the continuing of education of the oral health team in Portugal.

Thank You and keep calm, see you in Lisbon, the 12th, 13th, 14th November next year!
