FDI世界牙科联合会在约130个国家拥有200个牙科协会成员，是全球100多万临床医生的官方代表机构和声音。它为自己设定了一项任务，即为口腔健康创建一个新的定义，作为开发衡量口腔健康和相关指标的工具的基线。这一定义使外国直接投资能够将口腔健康置于全球卫生议程中的生活质量和福祉以及全球人口老龄化的挑战等领域。此外，它还为有利于全球牙周健康的外国直接投资活动提供了动力。
FDI World Dental Federation, which has 200 dental association members in some 130 countries, is the official representative body and voice of more than 1 million clinicians worldwide. It set itself the task of creating a new definition for oral health as a baseline to develop tools to measure oral health and related indicators. The definition allows FDI to position oral health within the global health agenda in areas such as quality of life and wellbeing and the challenge of an ageing population worldwide. Furthermore, it provides an impetus for FDI activities in favour of worldwide periodontal health.
