Why it matters clinically
DDJ uses FDI more for global policy or definition frameworks than for tight intervention decisions.
Institution / panel
FDI World Dental Federation (FDI)
International umbrella federation of national dental associations.
How DDJ writes it
On first use: FDI World Dental Federation (FDI). After that, FDI.
What to avoid
- Do not treat FDI statements like local specialty guidelines.
- Do not generalize global position papers without market or care-context framing.
