Core offering

The Ordre National des Chirurgiens-Dentistes (ONCD) is the statutory regulatory body for dental surgeons in France, established in 1945. It registers and monitors dental professionals, enforces the code of professional ethics, manages professional identity cards (CPS/CPF), resolves patient complaints and disciplinary matters, publishes professional guidance, and provides continuing education support. The organization is funded primarily through mandatory annual membership dues (cotisation ordinale) paid by all practicing dental surgeons in France.

Product overview

Ordre National des Chirurgiens-Dentistes (ONCD) is France's regulatory body for the dental profession, providing a suite of institutional digital services organized around three main user groups: dental practitioners, students, and patients. The core offerings include the official website portal, an online subscription payment system, and an authenticated member portal. Supporting services include a document repository with 789 downloadable resources, a practitioner directory, a jurisprudence database, and the monthly #ONCD La Lettre newsletter. The organization also provides specialized sub-brands including the Logo CHIRURGIEN DENTISTE for professional identity, a Digital Health Guide addressing AI and cybersecurity in practice, a telemedicine contract framework, a demographics observatory, and a healthcare access forum. No commercial products or software are sold; services are regulatory, informational, and membership-focused.

Direct peers

• Ordre National des Sages-Femmes: French National Order of Midwives — peer professional regulatory body under the same ordonnance-based French legal framework, exercising registration and ethics enforcement.
• Ordre des Vétérinaires: French National Order of Veterinarians — peer statutory professional regulatory body exercising registration, ethics, and discipline for veterinarians via departmental councils.
• Ordre National des Pharmaciens: French National Order of Pharmacists — peer professional regulatory body under French law overseeing pharmacist registration, ethics, and discipline via departmental and regional councils with a national headquarters.
• Conseil National de l'Ordre des Médecins: French National Order of Physicians — the closest structural peer: a statutory professional regulatory body for doctors in France with the same legal form, mandate (registration, ethics, discipline), and dues-based funding model.
• General Dental Council (UK): UK statutory regulator for dental professionals — directly comparable in scope (registration, fitness to practise, standards) and in operating a public register, though serving a different jurisdiction.
• Ordre National des Infirmiers: French National Order of Nurses — a statutory regulatory body with the same French "ordre professionnel" legal form, providing the same registration, ethics enforcement, and disciplinary functions but for nurses.
• Ordre des Masseurs-Kinésithérapeutes: French Order of Physiotherapists — another "ordre professionnel" under the same French legal framework, providing regulatory services and member dues funding for a healthcare profession.

Broad incumbents
