Introduction

President’s greetings:
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of Mongolian Dental Association, I would like to express my deepest gratitude and sincere greetings to all the fellow dentists, young professionals and students studying in dental field. I wish you success in your work. Mongolian Dental Association has been working on improving dental services with appropriate policies, protecting legal rights of dental professionals and improving ongoing education of dentists. Training of dentists and dental specialists in Mongolia is becoming closer to international standards, the number of dental clinics and dentists working in private sector has increased, and professional reputation has become higher. Moreover, we are aiming to provide dental services using the latest world technology. I must say that Mongolian dentists, researchers, nurses and dental specialists are playing a major role in it. We are the oldest association having approved 17 professional associations of dental field in the board of representatives of the main association. We also established 21 provincial branch associations throughout Mongolia. Mongolian Dental Association joined FDI World Dental Federation in 1992, became a member of Asia-Pacific Dental Association (APDA) in 1994, and eventually voting member of APDA in 2022.
