My Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 17th Makkah International Dental Conference & Exhibition, which is being held from the 31 October – 2 November, 2020, held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Khalid Al Faisal, Advisor of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Governor of Makkah Region. The Makkah International Dental Conference & Exhibition is proud to collaborate with the Saudi Society of Restorative Dentistry (SSRD) and INDEX Holding.

Makkah International Dental Conference & Exhibition 2020 aims to enrich scientific research in the field of oral and dental surgery, raise awareness about dental hygiene in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, collaborate with local and international countries, implement modern standards and improve the knowledge of professionals in academic and research matters.

In order to achieve our goals, we have invited eminent speakers, specialists, and experts in dentistry from the US, Europe, Arab states and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to share their insights, conduct practical training sessions and offer special sessions to improve the knowledge of industry professionals and contribute to the growth of the industry.

Running parallel to the conference, an exhibition will provide leading brands in the dental industry an opportunity to showcase their latest cutting-edge technologies that are revolutionizing the way patients are treated while also engaging in thought-provoking discussions about the latest trends in the industry.

I take this opportunity to convey my special thanks to all our key partners, heads of various dental associations in Saudi Arabia and abroad and to the distinguished leaders and experts in the dental fraternity for their invaluable support and wish them success on their future endeavors.

As the dental conference is being held in the holy city of Makkah, our guests will surely be treated to the warmth of the traditional Arabic hospitality immersed in local cuisine and culture.

We look forward to seeing you in Makkah and hope you enjoy your stay in KSA.

Dr. Meshari Faraj Alotaibi
