ALEXANDRIA, Va., U.S.: The 47th annual meeting of the American Association for Dental Research (AADR) recently took place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, between March 21 and 24, and was held in conjunction with the 42nd annual meeting of the Canadian Association for Dental Research. During the event, a symposium titled Transforming Oral Health Through Science and Evidence-Based Practice focused on, among other topics, ways in which to change the narrative for oral health research.
Supported by the American Dental Association (ADA), the symposium featured clinical and scientific perspectives on topics such as building a stronger oral health research infrastructure through improved advocacy, institutional support and funding from federal agencies. As part of the new narrative, securing funding to enable faculty and clinicians with the tools to build research capacity and obtain long-term financial support for conducting research that addresses the most impactful oral diseases faced by the U.S. population today was addressed at the symposium.
“The ADA Council on Scientific Affairs is pleased to present on such important topics,” said Dr Marcelo Araújo, ADA Science Institute Vice President and moderator of the symposium. “We are dedicated to advancing oral health through research and look to support the next wave of research to improve patient outcomes.”
Four speakers addressed the symposium attendees. The first paper, “Building the oral health research pipeline to measure and improve treatment outcomes,” was given by Prof. Steven Offenbacher, Chair of the Department of Periodontology, University of North Carolina School of Dentistry at Chapel Hill. Prof. Margherita Fontana from the Department of Cariology, Restorative Sciences and Endodontics, University of Michigan School of Dentistry, spoke next with “Precision, risk-based caries management.” She was followed by Prof. Lauren Patton, Chair of the Department of Dental Ecology, University of North Carolina School of Dentistry at Chapel Hill, with a paper titled “Improving evaluation of potentially malignant disorders in the oral cavity.” The final presentation was “Closing the gap between oral health research and evidence-based practice” by Prof. Robert Weyant, Associate Dean of Dental Public Health and Community Outreach, University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine.
