13 THE 2025 GLOBE The seminar was honored by the presence of ICD Global President Julio Rodriguez and ICD Global Vice President Antonio Bello Roch, whose participation underscored the international significance of the Section’s academic contributions. The event attracted 50 Fellows and their families, students, teachers and dental professionals. This gathering facilitated a high-level exchange of expertise, strengthening the bond between academic institutions and the ICD. By prioritizing scholarly dialogue and the dissemination of specialized knowledge, the Section con- tinues to foster professional growth. These collaborative efforts ensure that Section III remains a leader in scien- tific advancement and dental education. Digital education and global reach A cornerstone of the Section’s professional development is ICD TV, a dental education system implemented seven years ago. Founded by Dr. Sifuentes, the platform has delivered 82 lectures to date, averaging 500 viewers per month. This digital initiative enables Fellows to share spe- cialized knowledge with a global audience, ensuring that high-level dental education remains accessible regardless of geography. By facilitating a continu- ous dialogue among international experts, the platform creates a borderless class- room where Fellows can collaborate and stay at the forefront of clinical excellence through real-time knowledge sharing.
