In a significant move for global dentistry, the FDI World Dental Federation released a landmark Consensus Statement on Integrated Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in March 2025. This initiative urges health systems worldwide to embed oral health into broader digital health infrastructures, advocating for a more holistic and person-centred approach to patient care .
The consensus identifies eight key oral health indicators for routine sharing between dental and medical professionals. These include periodontal status, caries experience, oral cancer screening results, and details on medical devices like implants . This integration ensures oral health is no longer treated in isolation, which can significantly improve the management of chronic conditions like diabetes and enhance diagnostic accuracy .
This push for a unified health record system underscores the need for dental laboratories to operate with high levels of precision and transparent documentation. As the industry moves towards greater interprofessional collaboration, the role of the dental lab becomes even more critical in the seamless flow of patient information.
Shenzhen Best Dental Lab, a premier dental lab in China, is attentive to these evolving international standards. "This initiative highlights the interconnected future of healthcare data," commented a representative. "As a leading dental lab in China, we understand that our precision in crafting restorations and documenting device information is vital for this integrated ecosystem. We are prepared to support our global partners in adapting to these new standards, ensuring our clients receive care that is both advanced and comprehensively coordinated."
