This symposium will discuss the effects of medications, tobacco and alcohol, and illicit drug use on oral health. The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Promote Oral Health (2003) recognized the fact that the mouth reflects general health and well-being and that oral diseases and conditions are associated with other health problems. As scientific evidence continues to mount relating side effects of medication to oral health and negative health consequences of tobacco and alcohol use upon the oral cavity, the need for evidence-based research related to illicit drug use is essential. The purpose of this symposium is to help participants achieve a better understanding of how both legal and illicit drugs affect oral health and, in turn, how drug-induced oral diseases affect health and well-being. The symposium is appropriate for researchers at all levels.

In this symposium on a timely issue of publication and data-sharing ethics, strategies for coping with mandatory disclosure of publications per NIH policy will be discussed. The complexity of behavioral and biomedical research at the present time is frequently beyond the expertise of individual investigators or dental educators/administrators. The electronic age offers the unprecedented convenience of data sharing, yet raises new challenges of compliance with research ethics. This symposium is aimed at dental educators, administrators, behavioral science investigators, and biomedical science investigators. An in-depth panel discussion will take place among several internationally renowned speakers who have, in their successful careers as biomedical scientists, behavioral scientists, educators, editors, and administrators, managed complex issues related to publication and data-sharing ethics. Audience participation will be encouraged. The following subjects are planned to be covered: publication issues in dentistry; data sharing: challenges in the electronic age and ethics; publication integrity; and publication issues related to clinical trials.

This symposium offers a case-based discussion of educational models that integrate research and scholarship into the undergraduate dental curriculum within three distinct institutional environments (research intensive, research non-intensive, and between). The objectives are to present and discuss various approaches to integration based on available resources/infrastructure, desired graduate profile, and institutional mission. Important issues to be addressed include institutional culture, faculty development/participation, funding mechanisms, flexible curricula, didactic content, mentored research/scholarly experiences, assessment, and required vs. elective activities. This joint symposium provides a unique forum for AADR and ADEA members to collaborate on a critical issue impacting the future of dental education and the pipeline for academicians/researchers. Thus, it truly embodies the theme for this important joint meeting on "Education and Research Together." Educators and researchers must work together to create educational environments that attach value to research/scholarship, apply new advances/technologies to patient care, and produce graduates who are either evidence-based consumers of research or motivated to choose academic/research careers. Presentation and discussion of integrative models that have been implemented and assessed, representing a broad spectrum of institutional environments, will provide an opportunity for attendees to adapt approaches to their own institutions.

Healthy People 2010 Oral Health and Health Communication Objectives are designed to reduce health disparities and improve the quality of life for all Americans. The objectives of this symposium are to: 1) provide an overview of the research initiatives, the progress made towards reducing oral health disparities, and the potential impact for doing so by improving oral health literacy; 2) discuss academia’s responsibility for initiatives to reduce oral health disparities and increase health literacy; 3) highlight progress at the midcourse of Healthy People 2010; and 4) discuss future directions for national surveillance. This symposium is relevant to AADR and ADEA members because of the natural intersection between research and education and the importance of continuing to work collaboratively to reduce the burden of oral disease, especially among the most needy.

Dental caries management should be based on a comprehensive diagnosis and risk assessment in order to help support the most appropriate evidence-based surgical and nonsurgical treatment decisions for both noncavitated and cavitated lesions and their future prevention. This symposium is geared to researchers, educators, and practicing clinicians who have interest in management of dental caries. The presenters will: 1) review the available information regarding modalities in teaching and clinically applying contemporary scientific understanding of the biology and associated health behaviors of dental caries in U.S. and Canadian dental schools; 2) discuss how diagnosis, risk assessment, prevention, and remineralization of caries can effectively and efficiently be implemented in didactic and clinical teaching and facilitate longitudinal observation and outcomes assessment; 3) discuss barriers and process to implement scientifically justified changes in clinical teaching and ultimately in the practice of caries management and prevention; 4) explore how proposed changes can affect third-party payers and ultimately affect reimbursement methods that both encourage and reward preventive, nonsurgical dental treatment; and 5) present a model for integration of dental schools (including teachers, clinicians, and researchers), boards of examiners, and practicing clinicians to facilitate adoption of these models of care.
Sponsored by AADR Cariology and Education Research Groups and ADEA Preventive Dentistry Group.
