18. Supplemento a “Italian Dental Giornal” 5 /2014
“Italian Oral Hygiene”
• L’European Dental Hygienist’s Federation (Edhf - www. edhf.eu) nasce
ufficialmente nel 1999 grazie alla volontà e al desiderio di un primo gruppo
di associazioni nazionali di istituire un organismo sovranazionale grazie al
quale potere supportare, far crescere e affermare la figura professionale
dell’igienista dentale all’interno dell’allora Comunità economica europea
(Cee).

19. • Dal 1999 a oggi il numero delle associazioni aderenti è cresciuto e oggi conta:
• Italia
• Austria
• Spagna
• Portogallo
• Olanda
• Svizzera
• Germania
• Irlanda
• Norvegia
• Finlandia
• Danimarca
• Repubblica Ceca
• Slovacchia
• Malta
• L’assemblea generale si tiene almeno una volta all’anno.

20. Gli obiettivi principali della federazione in accordo con le indicazioni
dell’Organizzazione mondiale della sanità e delle istituzioni europee, a favore dei
cittadini della comunità:
• 1) Divenire l’organizzazione sovranazionale (“Council of European Dental
Hygienists”) di riferimento per le istituzioni nell’ambito della discussione circa le
direttive europee e tutti gli altri argomenti inerenti le professioni sanitarie che si
occupano della salute e prevenzione orale.
• 2) Sviluppare occasioni di collaborazione e sinergie operative tra la federazione e
altre istituzioni e gruppi di lavoro europei quali il Council of European Chief
Dental Officers, l’Oral Health Platform o altri rilevanti attori internazionali al fine di
raggiungere obiettivi comuni a molteplici professionalità del settore
odontoiatrico e più in generale della salute.
• 3) Agire a livello di ciascuna nazione rappresentata dalla federazione e più in
generale a livello europeo affinché vi sia una reale comprensione, apprezzamento
e riconoscimento delle competenze professionali dell’igienista dentale; affinché
la professione venga inclusa nelle direttive europee pertinenti e al fine di
assicurare percorsi formativi comuni e libera circolazione dei professionisti in
accordo con il Processo di Bologna.
