The FDI Sustainability Award plays a pivotal role in encouraging and recognizing sustainability efforts within dental practices around the world. This prestigious award provides an opportunity for both individuals and dental practices to gain global recognition for their outstanding contributions toward eco-friendly and sustainable dental care.

FDI promotes environmental responsibility in dentistry

This year, FDI granted four awards – two for dental practices and two for individuals – each honouring those who have gone above and beyond to enhance sustainability in their operations.

In the Dental Practice Category, Dove Holistic Dental Centre from the United Kingdom was recognized for its comprehensive approach to integrating sustainable methods into everyday dental care. Consultorio Dr Sartori from Uruguay also received an award for its dedication to reducing the environmental impact of its practice.

In the Individual Category, Dr Mohammed Ahmed from Belgium was honoured for his personal contributions to sustainable dental practices, while Dr Robert Panjkov from Australia was awarded for his innovative efforts in eco-friendly dentistry.

These awards highlight the global commitment to a greener future in the dental industry, showcasing both individual and collective efforts to reduce environmental footprints and promote sustainability.
