[Brief history of the Fédération Dentaire Internationale (FDI)].

FDI was founded in 1900, Paris, 95 years ago. At this International Dental Congress professors József Arkövy and Lajos Ottófy both held lectures. The Hungarian Dental Association (HDA) could join FDI, however, only in 1966. Today close contacts and collaboration are developing between HDA and FDI.
