Moscow International Dental Forum & Exhibition.
As Moscow blooms into full spring, the city’s premier exhibition venue prepares to host an event that defines the art and science of dentistry across Eurasia.

A Legacy of Excellence: 59 Years at the Profession’s Heart
For nearly six decades, DENTAL SALON has served as the cornerstone of the dental profession in Russia and the broader Eurasian region . What began as a specialized gathering has evolved into the definitive business and educational platform for everyone connected to dentistry—from global manufacturers of cutting-edge equipment to solo practitioners seeking the latest techniques .
The 2026 edition marks the 59th iteration of this legendary exhibition, a testament to its enduring relevance and its ability to adapt to changing market dynamics . The event’s longevity reflects its success in delivering genuine value: a unique environment where business development, professional education, and clinical excellence happen simultaneously .
The exhibition is organized by DENTALEXPO Exhibition Company, with the scientific conference program developed by Russian University of Medicine (RUM) and the Union of Dentists of the Capital (Moscow) . Strategic partnership with the Stomatological Association of Russia (StAR) ensures that the event reflects national priorities in dental health while providing participants with access to the profession’s leading minds .
The 2025 Success Story: Building Momentum for 2026

A Showcase of Innovation
The 2025 exhibition occupied three halls in Pavilion 2 at Crocus Expo—Halls 5, 7, and 8—with exhibitors presenting their goods, developments, and services across thousands of square metres . The interest of visitors was particularly aroused by the stands of large Russian manufacturers, as well as representatives from Asia, South America, and the Middle East .
The GREEN DENT company served as General Sponsor of the exhibition, delivering an extraordinary presence across multiple stands. As the company noted: “You can never have too much good equipment—that’s as clear to dentists as two plus two equals four. And that’s exactly how many booths GREEN DENT filled with cutting-edge innovations at Dental Salon 2025” . Their presentation spanned Hall 7, showcasing top-tier equipment from global manufacturers including RAY, GreenMED, CLARONAV, SAM, SilverFOX, ESCO, Miglionico, Medency, SWAN Loupes Co., Eighteeth, XTCERA, Medit, Suntem, Shinhung, and NK Vision, while Hall 8 featured their new exclusive partnership with W&H products .

Companies from China, South Korea, and Pakistan joined traditional European players from Italy, Switzerland, and Germany, alongside representatives from Turkey and the UAE .
The Chinese company Smartee Dentech exemplified this international participation, presenting its comprehensive range of invisible orthodontic products covering children, adolescents, and adults .

Market Context: Russia’s Evolving Dental Landscape
DENTAL SALON‘s significance is inseparable from the dynamic market it serves. Several factors make this an opportune moment for the Russian dental industry:
Import Substitution and Technological Sovereignty
As international dental companies have reassessed their Russian operations, the imperative to develop domestic alternatives has accelerated . Russian manufacturers are increasingly visible at DENTAL SALON, presenting products that compete with established international brands. The 2025 edition featured strong representation from Russian companies, with their stands attracting significant visitor interest .
Shifting Supply Chains
The composition of international participation at DENTAL SALON reflects broader changes in global trade patterns. While European companies remain present, Asian manufacturers—particularly from China and South Korea—have expanded their footprint . This shift creates new opportunities for Russian buyers to source quality products from alternative suppliers.
Growing Market Demand
The Russian dental services market has demonstrated resilience despite economic challenges. With a population exceeding 146 million and increasing awareness of oral health, demand for dental services continues to grow. The concentration of dental providers in Moscow—which hosts over 8,000 dental facilities, representing 18.4% of Russia’s total—makes DENTAL SALON particularly relevant for accessing the country’s largest dental market .
Digital Transformation
Russian dentistry is embracing digital technologies at an accelerating pace. Intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM fabrication, 3D printing, and digital treatment planning are becoming standard in forward-looking practices. DENTAL SALON serves as the primary showcase for these technologies, allowing practitioners to evaluate and adopt digital workflows.
Continuing Education Imperative
With rapid advances in materials and techniques, continuing education has never been more critical for dental professionals.
