Both flagship events—Dental Salon and DENTAL EXPO—are organized by the Dental-Expo exhibition company. This firm is a titan in the region, renowned for hosting world-class professional forums and facilitating business in the former Soviet states.
Because the same team manages the shows, the quality of service, professional atmosphere, and focus on B2B interactions remain consistent, whether you are in Moscow or in any other location.
Why Exhibit or Visit?
The Russian dental market is vast. With a growing middle class and increasing demand for aesthetic dentistry (teeth whitening, orthodontics), the need for imported technology and high-quality consumables is high.
For International Exhibitors:
These shows offer a direct line to Russian distributors, clinic owners, and purchasing managers. Given the current geopolitical climate, local manufacturers are actively seeking to fill gaps in the supply chain, presenting a significant opportunity for suppliers from China, India, Turkey, and the Middle East.
For Visitors:
These exhibitions are not just marketplaces; they are educational hubs. Both shows feature extensive conference programs, workshops, and seminars where leading Russian and international experts share the latest research and clinical techniques.
