Dentists from the Middle East and North Africa will soon be able to benefit from collaboration between the FDI World Dental Federation and the AEEDC meeting in Dubai. In early March, the AEEDC’s Executive Chairman Abdul Salam Al Madani and the President of the FDI Dr Burton Conrod signed a memorandum of understanding that aims to provide registered members of the FDI and AEEDC with Continuing Education Programmes. Agreements were also closed between the AEEDC and dental associations in Iraq, Iran, and other Arab and Asian countries, which will allow more dentists to participate in AEEDC Dubai in 2010.
