DUBAI, UAE: In its 28th year, the UAE International Dental Conference and Arab Dental Exhibition (AEEDC Dubai), one of the largest annual scientific dental conferences and exhibitions in the world, kicked off yesterday at Dubai World Trade Centre. This event, renowned globally for its extensive scope and depth, continues its legacy as a global platform for the dental community.
Since its humble inception in 1996, AEEDC Dubai has evolved significantly. It has mirrored Dubai’s ascent as a leading healthcare and scientific hub, both regionally and on a global scale. This journey over almost three decades underscores AEEDC’s commitment to excellence and innovation in the field of dentistry.
Last year’s event set a new attendance benchmark of over 66,000 participants from 155 countries. It showcased a staggering 4,800 brands from 3,600 companies, and the 2024 meeting is set to expand by nearly 30%.
The AEEDC conference is a beacon of knowledge, offering a comprehensive scientific programme that spans the latest advances and research in various dental specialties. In five halls, more than 100 lectures will be presented. Over 100 esteemed speakers from across the globe will be sharing their expertise, providing attendees with the opportunity to earn 21.5 continuing education (CE) credits over the course of three days.
Dr Tariq Khoory, AEEDC Dubai honorary chairman, said: “AEEDC Dubai 2024 is proud to continue its journey of delivering remarkable milestones in the dental industry. At AEEDC Dubai 2024, we offer a multidimensional platform with specialised courses, student competitions, and poster presentations to help you sharpen your skills and better understand ways to improve patient health.”
His Excellency Dr Abdul Salam al-Madani, executive chairman of AEEDC Dubai and the Global Scientific Dental Alliance, added: “Under the theme ‘Education and innovation transfer’, AEEDC emphasises the importance of continuous teaching and learning to share knowledge with the world. Our exhibition halls will showcase the latest innovative products and offer various workshops to demonstrate how we apply our knowledge into practice.”

Focus on orthodontics
Prior to AEEDC, the 2024 AEEDC Dubai World Orthodontic Conference revolved around the theme “Conventional and futuristic” on 5 and 6 February. The ninth edition of this conference covered cutting-edge topics in orthodontics, offering 14 CE credits. It is an invaluable platform for learning about advancements such as clear aligners and digital orthodontics.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery insights
Today and tomorrow, the AEEDC Dubai World Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Conference explores the theme “Conventional vs. technologies in oral and maxillofacial surgery”. This event is a deep dive into the transformative changes in this field, juxtaposing traditional methods with modern technological advances. The conference aims to enhance understanding of surgical approaches, weigh the pros and cons of conventional versus advanced technologies, and explore state-of-the-art surgical planning tools. Participants gain insights into aesthetic principles, reconstruction methods and innovations in orthognathic surgery, essential for any dental professional in the field. The conference is an essential event for surgeons, consultants, specialists, fellows and trainees involved in the specialty. It offers 16 CE credits, underscoring its educational value.
AEEDC student competition
The 15th AEEDC Student Competition, integral to AEEDC Dubai, invites dental and oral medicine students to participate in a challenging and enriching environment. This competition encourages knowledge exchange and broadens students’ perspectives in various dental fields.
An immersive experience
A cornerstone of AEEDC is its expansive exhibition, a dynamic showcase across Halls 1–8 at Dubai World Trade Centre. Here, attendees have the opportunity to explore a myriad of products and services from over 5,300 international brands. The exhibition floor features cutting-edge dental equipment, innovative technologies and the latest products in dental care. This interactive platform not only facilitates the exchange of ideas and networking among dental professionals but also serves as a vital link between suppliers and buyers, fostering business opportunities and collaboration. Country pavilions representing Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the US can also be found.
Germany is this year’s guest of honour. The partnership between the Association of the German Dental Industry and INDEX Conferences and Exhibitions, the organiser of AEEDC Dubai, was announced in March last year during the International Dental Show in Cologne in Germany. Being the guest of honour will ensure German brands and products receive prominent exposure at AEEDC.
