About the congress
One congress. One mission: diagnose earlier.
IODCON 2026 brings the entire diagnostic chain — clinician, radiologist, pathologist and surgeon — into one live virtual room. The programme follows a lesion from first suspicion at the chair to imaging, the lab bench and AI-assisted decision making.
Built by the team behind twelve congress editions across Asia, the Middle East and Africa, IODCON is designed for busy clinicians and students: affordable, fully online, and packed with case-based learning you can use on Monday morning.
Priced for everyone
Registration starts at ₹199, so students and practitioners alike can attend all three days.
Diagnostics, end to end
From chairside lesion detection to molecular pathology and AI — one congress, one focus.

From the organizing committee
A message from our leadership
Organizing Chairperson Dear Friends,
Colleagues, and Healthcare Leaders,
Welcome to the dawn of a new era in oral healthcare. Every clinical success—every saved tooth, early-detected lesion, and life preserved—begins at a single, critical juncture: Accurate, Timely, and Precise Diagnosis.
Brought to you by the National Health Academy and Medskill—the team behind IOCCON, IOPCON, PDCON, and IDDCON—the International Oral Diagnostics Congress (IODCON 2026) elevates oral diagnostics into a global, multidisciplinary medical imperative.
IODCON 2026 brings together international pioneers in Oral Medicine, Radiology, Pathology, AI Diagnostics, and Systemic Medicine. Designed for seamless virtual access, this congress empowers clinicians, specialists, and researchers worldwide with cutting-edge screening workflows, CBCT/MRI interpretation, and biomarker tools to transform patient outcomes.
Be an active pioneer of this movement. Share your research, gain actionable insights, and help us define the future of oral and systemic health together.
I look forward to welcoming you to this landmark global gathering.
Warmest regards,
Organizing Secretary Dear Esteemed Colleagues, Researchers, and Future Pioneers,
Every successful clinical treatment is only as good as the diagnosis behind it. IODCON 2026 moves beyond pure theory into high-yield chairside application. Our scientific program is designed to master CBCT interpretation, integrate non-invasive mucosal screening, and connect systemic health directly to daily oral care. Whether you are a specialist, clinician, or postgraduate scholar presenting research before our global jury, IODCON 2026 offers an enriching academic platform tailored for you. I warmly invite you to submit your abstracts, register, and join us virtually this October! Warmest regards,
