76^th IDC 2026

At the heart of Indian Dental Conference 2026, Mangalore lies a powerful vision—to reimagine dentistry by harmonizing traditional clinical excellence with the transformative potential of modern technology and research. Our theme, “Innovating Dentistry: Bridging Tradition with the Future,” reflects a commitment to preserving the foundational principles of the profession while boldly embracing the innovations that are reshaping its future.

This convergence of past and future is guided by our core mantra: Innovate. Integrate. Inculcate.

Innovate – Encouraging forward-thinking ideas, technological breakthroughs, and novel research that challenge conventional boundaries and elevate patient care.

Integrate – Fostering the seamless blending of time-tested clinical wisdom with digital tools, AI-driven diagnostics, biomaterials, and minimally invasive techniques to create a unified, modern approach to dentistry.

Inculcate – Instilling a mindset of lifelong learning and adaptability among dental professionals, empowering them to confidently embrace and apply these advancements in daily practice.

IDC 2026 is more than a conference - it is a movement that brings together educators, clinicians, researchers, and innovators under one roof to explore, experience, and exchange transformative ideas. Through keynote addresses, interactive sessions, technology showcases, and hands-on workshops, attendees will be equipped not only to witness the future of dentistry but to become active contributors to its evolution.

Join us at IDC 2026 as we celebrate the synergy between heritage and innovation, and collectively shape the next chapter of global dental practice.
