European Federation of Periodontology The European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting awareness of periodontal science and the importance of gum health. The EFP’s guiding vision is: “Periodontal health for a better life”. Founded in 1991, the EFP is a federation of 37 national periodontal societies that represent more than 16,000 periodontists, dentists and other oral health care professionals and researchers from across Europe and around the world. The EFP promotes periodontal and oral health with events and campaigns aimed at both healthcare professionals and the public. The EFP organises biennial ‘EuroPerio’ congresses – the world’s largest and most influential congresses in periodontal and implant dentistry. The EFP tie (20832.6 – condition, good)) was introduced soon after the formation of the Federation.
