SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 15, 2026 -- VOCO has become a Gold Sponsor of the FDI World Dental Federation, with the partnership centred on the FDI's Master Continuing Education Programme in adhesive and aesthetic dentistry. The five-module programme delivers specialised clinical training to dental professionals globally, combining theoretical content with practical application under guidance from established speakers in the field. VOCO's sponsorship includes both financial support and provision of composite materials for hands-on use during seminars.
FDI Master CE Programme Targets Clinical Skills in Adhesive and Aesthetic Dentistry
The Master CE Programme was developed by the FDI specifically to deepen knowledge and clinical competency in adhesive and aesthetic dentistry — a technically demanding area that benefits from structured, expert-led instruction beyond routine continuing education formats. Five modules take participants through current developments in the field, with prominent speakers leading sessions that integrate theory with practical exercises.
The FDI represents more than one million dentists worldwide and is headquartered in Geneva. Its stated mission is to improve and protect oral health globally through enhanced prevention, treatment, and disease control. The Master CE Programme sits within that mandate as a vehicle for raising the clinical standard of dental practice across international markets.
Gold Sponsorship Combines Financial Support with Scientific and Material Contributions
VOCO's role as Gold Sponsor extends beyond funding. The company is contributing scientific expertise and supplying a selection of its composite materials for participant use during the practical components of each seminar. That direct product integration gives attending dental professionals structured hands-on exposure to VOCO materials within a supervised clinical education context — a format that carries more weight than promotional demonstration alone.
Three products are specified for use in the programme. Admira Fusion 5 is described as a universal Nano-Hybrid ORMOCER restorative with a simplified shade system. GrandioSO Unlimited is a universal high-performance composite that can be placed in layers of up to 4 mm. VisCalor bulk is positioned as the world's first composite featuring Thermo-Viscous Technology. Each represents a different technical approach within VOCO's composite portfolio.
VOCO Managing Director Frames Sponsorship as Responsibility, Not Marketing
Olaf Sauerbier, Managing Director of VOCO, positioned the commitment in terms of the company's obligations as a research-driven international manufacturer: "As a research-driven company with a strong international presence, we see it as our responsibility to actively help shape and advance the future of dentistry. Through our commitment as a Gold Sponsor of the Master CE Programme, we aim to help make specialised knowledge accessible worldwide, provide dental professionals with fresh inspiration for their daily practice, and help to sustainably enhance the quality of dental care worldwide."
That framing — responsibility rather than brand-building — is consistent with how manufacturers in the dental sector increasingly position education partnerships. For VOCO, the FDI relationship also provides a credible international platform for its composite technology to be evaluated in a clinical training setting.
Partnership Extends VOCO's Commitment to Advanced Dentistry Internationally
VOCO describes itself as a technology leader in composites, and the FDI partnership gives the company a structured route into the continuing education ecosystem at the global representative level. Access to the FDI's network of more than one million dentists — and the professional organisations representing them — provides reach that individual company-run education programmes typically cannot replicate.
For dental professionals, the practical implication is access to specialised adhesive and aesthetic dentistry training that draws on both FDI's educational infrastructure and VOCO's material expertise. The five-module structure suggests a programme designed for progressive skill development rather than one-off exposure.
