Organisational Structure

FDI World Dental Federation is a membership organisation composed of more than 200 member National Dental Associations and specialist groups, altogether representing more than one million dentists worldwide. The organisation is governed by a Council of delegates from member associations that are elected by a General Assembly during the FDI Annual World Dental Congress (AWDC).

Five standing committees carry out work in the key areas of communications and member support, dental practice, education, science, and world dental development and health promotion. FDI's work priorities are determined in accordance with the Constitution, vision and mission statements.
