During the FDI association’s general assembly on 31 August 2017, Dr. Gerhard Konrad Seeberger was elected new President of the World Dental Federation.
FDI World Dental Federation is the largest membership-based dental organization in the world and it's the principal representative body for over one million dentists worldwide. So, for two years, from 2019 to 2021, Dr. Seeberger, who is "FDI speaker" as of now, will be the Federation chairman.
Graduated DDS at University of Würzburg, from 2005 to 2007 he was President of the AIO (Associazione Italiana Odontoiatri) and now its Delegate of International Affairs, and as such an ex officio member of the council.
He has taught clinical periodontology and oral and periodontal surgery at the University of Cagliari in Italy and implant surgery at Iaşi University in Romania and lectured at more than 130 lectures in Africa, Asia, Europe, Northern- and Southern-America on clinical periodontology, implant- and oral surgery, patient safety, sterilization process and use of IT in dental practice.
It's a huge satisfaction to witness the victory of Dr Gerhard Konrad Seeberger, first representative of an Italian Dental Association elected as President of FDI, and share this emotion with dental representatives who are spending themselves to spread oral health around the world.
Infodent International team wishes Dr Gerhard Seeberger the best of luck in all of his future endeavors.
