The 24th International and African Dental Medicine Congress will take place in Marrakech, Morocco, from October 22 to 25, 2026. This event, organized by the Moroccan Association for Oral Health Prevention (AMPBD) under the patronage of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, will bring together professionals, academics, and researchers from Morocco and abroad. The congress will focus on advances in diagnostic techniques, treatments, and oral health prevention.
The congress, themed "Modern Dental Medicine in the Service of the Patient," aims to promote exchanges on scientific and technological developments that are transforming dental practices. It will address issues of training, research, and prevention, particularly with the development of new diagnostic and patient care tools. The event will feature 21 conferences, 16 practical workshops, and over 280 research papers presented in oral and poster sessions.
The scientific program, developed by a committee of university professors, will cover various dental medicine disciplines.
