Ladies and Gentlemen
Honorable guests, distinguished speakers, delegates, dear colleagues, presidents of the FDI, Oman , Qatar, Bahrain, Emirates, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, the European dental association and the Arab dental federation.
As the scientific chair of the 50th annual congress of IDA, I have the honor and privilege to welcome all of you on board.
IDA is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and for its age, it is in pretty good shape. As the eldest nongovernmental medical organization in Iran, it works as an inspiration for many people. As with many other organization, IDA has had its shares of ups & down. But, with the endless effort of its devoted leaders & members, like the phoenix, it always raises up from its own ashes, and each time it becomes stronger.
With half a century of experience and knowledge, and with nationwide & international efforts, it has come together to form this 50th congress.


A jury of 133 academics from all 22 dental schools of the country have evaluated 2,628 abstracts and spent approximately 3,790 man hours of work to select 480 abstracts as the main lectures. Also 125 posters were chosen.
Lunch lectures are paralleled with the lunch time, which is designed as a separate issue for dental student’s research.
50 years of research ergonomics, stem cells research, laser, dental implants, infection control, and dental technology are among the different panels designed for this congress, running simultaneously in 12 different halls with10 panels in 4 days.
I wish this to be a very fruitful congress, and at this time I would like to take the opportunity to introduce to you a very prestigious gentleman who has travelled a long way from Brazil to inaugurate this congress, the president of the World Dental Federation (FDI), President Roberto Vianna.
President Vianna took office in Singapore in 2009 as the president of FDI with a great history in promoting oral health through out the world.
I would now like to ask president Vianna to approach the stage, and let’s give him a big hand of applause.
