Due to COVID 19 and the world pandemic, the meeting had to be canceled, but we were able to collect some of the science that was planned for presentation to be available to our members as part of an on demand meeting.The recordings in this library are a selection of the science that was to be presented onsite 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, IADR Centennial Plenaries and symposia from a collection of scientific groups and networks.

- Assessment of oral sensorimotor functions of the elder patients with cognitive impairment Goal 1: to receive an update of current evidence about the association between oral functions and cognitive impairment Goal 2: to learn about the methods for dentists to evaluate oral functions for the patients with cognitive impairment.
- Assessment of oral sensorimotor functions of the elder patients with physical frailty Goal 1: to receive an update of current evidence about the association between oral functions and physical frailty Goal 2: to learn about the methods for dentists to evaluate oral functions for the patients with physical frailty.
- An integrative oral healthcare on the elder patients with special needs Goal 1: to understand the importance of integration between oral, cognitive and physical assessment for the older dental patients. Goal 2: to learn about the current trend of the integration and successful examples.
