BDIA and ADI in partnership
The BDIA and ADI are joining forces aiming to support and strengthen the dental industry.
The British Dental Industry Association (BDIA) and the Association of Dental Implantology (ADI) have announced a new partnership aimed at bringing the profession and the dental industry closer together, with a shared focus on supporting best practice, education and long-term progress across UK dentistry.
The collaboration reflects a mutual commitment to improving standards, encouraging collaboration and ensuring the dental sector continues to evolve in a way that benefits clinicians, businesses and patients alike. By working together, the BDIA and ADI will help shine a light on the important role both organisations play in supporting the profession and the wider industry.
A key aim of the partnership is to strengthen the link between clinicians working in dental implantology and the companies that develop and supply the products, technologies and services they rely on every day. The two organisations will work together to promote shared learning, raise awareness of best practice and support informed decision-making across the sector.
Through the partnership, BDIA and ADI will collaborate on:
- Educational activity that supports both clinicians and industry professionals
- Joint events and initiatives that encourage open discussion and knowledge sharing
- Raising awareness of standards, compliance and ethical practice in implant dentistry
- Stronger engagement between the profession and the dental supply chain.
A strong and sustainable dental sector
Commenting on the partnership, Edmund Proffitt, Chief Executive, BDIA said: “This partnership is about working together to support a strong and sustainable dental sector. By collaborating with the ADI, we can help ensure that innovation is matched with education and best practice, creating real value for the profession and the industry.”
Richard Cantillon, Executive Director of the ADI, said: “Working with the BDIA allows us to build closer relationships with the wider dental industry. Together, we can share knowledge, raise awareness, and continue to support high standards in implant dentistry for the benefit of clinicians and patients.”
The partnership will see both organisations working closely throughout the year across communications, events and shared initiatives, reinforcing their shared commitment to supporting the dental community and helping the industry move forward together.
