2023 IADR/LAR General Session with WCPD
The 2023 IADR/LAR General Session & Exhibition with WCPD provided dental, oral, and craniofacial health scientists with the opportunity to present, discuss, and critique their latest and most cutting-edge research at a 100% in-person gathering in Bogotá, Colombia. The meeting was attended by 1,667 individuals from 76 countries.The recordings in this library from the meeting are a selection of the science that was presented at the General Session. These recordings give you the opportunity to participate in the meeting and hear from leading researchers. The recordings include IADR Distinguished Lecture Series speakers and symposia from a collection of scientific groups and networks.

Session Description
Oral diseases, most notably dental caries and periodontal diseases, are associated with other major non-communicable diseases and responsible for significant social, economic and health burdens. Public health challenges include tackling inequalities and addressing the burden of disease which disproportionally affects people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and other high-risk groups. Marked inequalities in oral health are often compounded by poor access to healthcare, yet achieving the highest attainable standard of oral health is a fundamental right of every human being.
Creative collaborative solutions to promoting health and addressing health inequalities are required, particularly in community and institutional settings outside of routine dental practices and offices. Health promotion activities are particularly important in the early years of life to provide a ‘good start’; and, in older age to ‘finish well’, working with other agencies in an integrated manner. Similarly access to dental care is important for these groups.
This symposium will explore how integrated care may be delivered in community settings to support oral health, drawing on evidence from healthy schools’ initiatives, community-based social support networks, and care homes (residential and nursing). This includes the development of evidence informed community-led solutions to promote oral health and deliver basic care to groups who may be less likely to access routine dental care services.
This is a time for change and innovation. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted health services, and the global strategy on oral health adopted at the 75th World Health Assembly (WHA) in May 2022, brings oral health back to the top of the global health agenda. Together they provide the stimulus, and opportunity, for future innovative models of care to better support oral health and address inequalties.

Learning Objectives
- To consider the rationale for, and enhance participants’ knowledge of, integrated health and social care/support in community settings for vulnerable people across the life course in relation to their context and support a range of health promoting initiatives and health systems
reform. - To consider the rationale for, and enhance participants’ knowledge of, Health Promoting School models and activities (integrating oral and general health) to reduce the burden of oral conditions and inequalities in oral health.
- To consider how creative innovations can support access to essential oral health care for vulnerable people in society including co-production of health systems solutions involving shared decision making, and explore the implications for the education and training of oral health professionals.
