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.
This session can be purchased as part of the full meeting recordings within the product bundles
The International Association for Dental Research is an ADA CERP Recognized Provider. ADA CERP is a service of the American Dental Association to assist dental professionals in identifying quality providers of continuing dental education.

Session Description
Oral health disparities persist in the United States (US), and early childhood caries (ECC) remains the most common chronic disease among children under the age of 5.1-2 The largest disparities in access to dental care relate to income and race/ethnicity.1,3-5 ECC prevalence among children 2-5 years of age is highest among the poor (<100% Federal Poverty Level).1 Additionally, ECC is highest among American Indian/Alaska Natives (71.3%) followed by Mexican-Americans (41.5%), non-Hispanic Blacks (30.3%), and non-Hispanic Whites (24.9%).1,6
This session will describe evidence-based, preventive community-based and programmatic approaches to combatting ECC including:
● BEhavioral EConomics for Oral health iNnovation (BEECON) – a randomized controlled trial that assessed the effects of financial incentives on predominantly Hispanic parents brushing their high caries risk preschool-aged children’s teeth.
● COordinated Oral health Promotion (CO-OP) Chicago – a cluster-randomized, controlled trial testing the ability of community health workers to improve oral health behaviors for children under age three.
● Value-Based Care – a pilot program targeting 0–3 year old high-risk children by incorporating chronic disease management, minimally invasive dentistry and care coordination. The provider is reimbursed based on outcomes rather than volume of services utilizing Alternative Payment Mechanisms.
● Sugared Fruit Drink Trial – a community-based sociobehavioral randomized trial aims to help Alaska Native families choose healthier beverages instead of sugared fruit drinks for their children.
Speakers will describe study findings pertaining to oral health inequities and evidence-based prevention, challenges encountered in research implementation, and implications for future research and policy.
