iADH 2026 Call for Papers

Conference Theme: Inclusion Health

Scope of Submissions:

We welcome a wide range of submissions addressing oral health and service use and social inequities among socially excluded groups like poverty, disability, social exclusion, and those with multi morbidities. 

Examples include, but are not limited to:

  • Oral health and disability, including Special Care Dentistry, complex care, multimorbidity, frailty, and behavioural or sedation-supported pathways

  • Oral health inequities among people experiencing homelessness, poverty, migration, or institutional care, and other forms of structural exclusion

  • Barriers to equitable access — structural, economic, legal, cultural, communication, or service-level determinants of oral health

  • Inclusive systems and service responses, including workforce development, governance, consent and safeguarding, and models of care that improve access

  • Research, data, policy, and innovation that advance oral health equity within an inclusion health framework
