The European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) is an umbrella organisation for 30 national societies of Periodontology, which have a collective membership of over 14,000.The prime purpose of the EFP is to provide pan-European, and as appropriate, global leadership in the promotion of Periodontology, specifically periodontal health and, in turn, oral and general health and wellbeing by means of education, research, evidence-based advances in clinical practice, enhanced public awareness and influence on national and international health policy. These aims will be impemented in different activities and startegies.
The Federation runs the internationally acclaimed EuroPerio meetings once every three years, with an attendance typically in excess of more than 9,000. EuroPerio meetings have become highly regarded, world class, cutting-edge events for the sharing, discussion and debate of contemporary knowledge and understanding in Periodontology and implant dentistry, and as a showcase for state of the art, techniques, instrumentation, devices and materials. The EFP also produces the Journal of Clinical Periodontology (JCP), which is one of the most highly rated peer review scientific journals in oral and dental science. Other activities of the EFP include the highly prestigious EFP Graduate Program in Periodontology and the hosting of annual European Workshops on Periodontology. These consensus workshops, which have a global impact, focus on key issues in Periodontology and implant dentistry.
Factors which influence the activities and direction of travel of the Federation will be presented as well as the vision for the next planing cycle (till 2021) to realise its vision of “Periodontal Health for a Better Life”.
The EFP, with its wide-ranging activities and reputation for excellence, is highly regarded among sister organisations, collaborating in diverse projects. New contacts or collaborations for further shared projects and realizing the common vision are highly appreciated and followed.
