The Indonesia Dental Exhibition & Conference (IDEC) 2025 concluded its fourth edition at the Jakarta International Convention Centre (JICC) following three days of exhibitions, scientific sessions, and industry networking. Organised by Koelnmesse and Amara Group in cooperation with the Indonesian Dental Association (PDGI), this year’s event continued to strengthen its role as a key meeting point for the dental sector in Indonesia.

More than 250 exhibiting brands from 11 countries took part, including three international pavilions representing China, Italy, and Korea. The exhibition space featured a broad showcase of products and solutions across digital dentistry, imaging, restorative materials, and clinical technologies.
The scientific conference and hands-on workshops saw a significant increase in attendance, with delegate numbers doubling compared with the previous edition. Sessions delivered by both international and local speakers received positive feedback for their practical content and focus on current challenges and emerging developments in the field of dental practice. Delegates noted that the programme contributed to professional learning and supported Indonesia’s growing position as a regional hub for continuing dental education.
