Following the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria, the EFP would like to show its support and solidarity in the face of this serious humanitarian crisis.
In collaboration with the WHO Foundation, the EFP has launched a donation campaign to support the people whose lives have been severely impacted, and our thoughts are with the people of Turkey and Syria and our colleagues and friends in the perio community at this difficult time.
The EFP is producing a set of S3-level clinical practice guidelines for the modern, evidence-based treatment of periodontitis. These new-generation guidelines, the outcomes of Perio Workshop 2019 and Perio Workshop 2021, are fully aligned with the 2018-updated classification of periodontal diseases.
The EFP agreed with the American Academy of Periodontology on an innovative approach for a common classification scheme of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions, to be used by scientists and clinicians everywhere.

The European Federation of Periodontology is an independent, dental organisation. Although non-political, the EFP condemns any attack perpetrated by the Russian government against the free and democratic independent nation of Ukraine. We will inform organisations and companies that we will not be conducting any activities in Russia until peace and order is restored.
We acknowledge that there are many good people within Russia that are against this war and are suffering too, but they must not remain in silence and must make their voices be heard within their country and our thoughts are also with them.
We respect the Russian people and above all our dental colleagues in Russia. We understand that many are already against this invasion and our measures have no intention to offend our colleagues even though we know this may bring some distress to dental professionals in Russia. We are looking forward to the time where we can work together again with respect.
Democracy is the best and only way to govern and to achieve World peace. The European Federation of Periodontology stands for peace, democracy and the Ukrainian people.
The Oral Health & Gum Hub offers a wealth of information to patients about gum health and gum disease, oral hygiene and dental implants, the steps to take to prevent disease, and the treatments that are available to you if you do have gingivitis, periodontitis, or peri-implant disease.
The European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting awareness of periodontal science and the importance of gum health. Its guiding vision is “Periodontal health for a better life.”
Founded in 1991, the EFP is a federation of 37 national periodontal societies that represents more than 16,000 periodontists, dentists, researchers and oral-health professionals from Europe and around the world. It pursues evidence-based science in periodontal and oral health, promoting events and campaigns aimed at both professionals and the public.
The EFP publishes a free monthtly email newsletter with the latest news about the federation's activities, its publications, and its campaigns.
