Course Description:  
The NIDCR’s Oral Health in America: Advances and Challenges report is a culmination of two years of research and writing by over 400 contributors that explores the nation's oral health over the last 20 years. In response to this report, AADOCR will host a webinar titled: “Oral Health in America – Advances and Challenges: Reading the Report through a Research Lens” to discuss the implications of the report for dental, oral, and craniofacial research. During this webinar, the Director of NIDCR, Section Editors of the report, and AADOCR leaders will have a cross-cutting discussion relative to how the report can be used to inform future research, including current research gaps and needs. 

Learning Objectives
  • To recognize the current gaps in oral health research.

  • To identify potential research opportunities relative to the six sections of the oral health report.
