These state- ments are declarations laying out current FDI thinking on various is- sues related to oral health, oral health policies and the dental pro- fession. They are put together through consultation, discussion and consensus of leading interna- tional experts within various FDI committees, national dental associa- tions and other organisations. This year’s crop includes six new policy statements, which address ad- vertisement in dentistry, CAD/CAM dentistry, lifelong oral health, odonto- genic pain management, quality in dentistry and sustainability in den- tistry. Three statements on continuing dental education, dental practice and third parties, and promoting oral health through fluoride have under- gone extensive revision. Many FDI policy statements are the result of projects carried out by the FDI Science Committee, Dental Prac- tice Committee and Public Health Committee, sometimes in collabora- tion with entities such as the World Health Organization. “The science of dentistry is contin- ually evolving and FDI policy state- ments should always reflect the latest thinking based on the latest research and development,” said Science Com- mittee Chair Dr Harry-Sam Selikowitz, from Norway. “Developing new texts to address new issues and keeping current texts up to date is one of the pillars of our committee work.” “Policy statements are one of the FDI’s greatest contributions to world dentistry and have a practical role to play in supporting national regula- tions in many parts of the world,” added Dental Practice Committee Chair Dr Michael Sereny, from Ger- many. “Dentists are practical people and need practical advice—and this is what we are providing in our policy statements.” “FDI’s role has always been to share knowledge and experience among members of the dental com- munity to support and advocate the development of e(cid:5)ective national public oral health policies,” said Public Health Committee Chair Jo Frencken, from the Netherlands. “Policy state- ments evolve from debate among dentists from around the world and thus constitute an international con- sensus.” More information on the FDI pol- icy statements is available at fdi- worldental.org/policystatements.
