Web community
UDENTE is at the heart of a global community for the dental profession. By sharing common goals, resources and tools, economy of scale can be realised without loss of quality in the educational experience. The web community will build upon individual excellence but will maintain each contributor’s identity and uniqueness. It will celebrate diversity but also recognise commonality of purpose. The development of this community will inform educational research and best practice.

Sharing knowledge and innovation
I believe UDENTE is now set to become an integral part of delivering an up-to-date dental curriculum. It allows my faculty, as well as other dental schools in Italy, to share knowledge and technology with the international community of dental educators. As chief Dental Officer of Italy, I will encourage all dental schools in Italy to use the world's first virtual dental school as a key component to delivering their curriculum.
