2022 IADR/APR General Session
The 100 th General Session & Exhibition of the IADR was held in conjunction with the 5th Meeting of the Asia Pacific Region. The virtual meeting was attended by individuals from around the world. Those attending the meeting could choose from among 207 Interactive Talk sessions, seven Focused Learning Sessions, three Hands-on Workshops, five satellite symposia, 52 Symposia, one Distinguished Lecture Series and a plenary.The recordings in this library from the meeting are a selection of the science that was to be presented as part of the General Session. These recordings give you the opportunity to participate in the meeting and hear from leading researchers. The recordings include the IADR Distinguished Lecture Series speaker and symposia from a collection of scientific groups and networks.
This session can be purchased as part of the full meeting recordings within the product bundles

Session Description
Health inequalities are important problems of social injustice worldwide. Disadvantaged groups in societies endure a higher burden of mortality and morbidity with persistent social gradients in many health outcomes, including oral health. Moreover, it is highly likely that health inequalities will increase because of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, assessing and understanding oral health inequalities remains a policy and research priority.
In analyses of health inequalities, macro-level factors, related to the economic and political context, have been highlighted as crucial determinants. Such analyses indicate that the social conditions in which people live and work are the main drivers of the unequal distribution of health. In turn, the political context shapes how those social conditions are distributed within societies. Although the role of political factors has received increasing attention, relatively little is known for oral health.
The study of determinants of oral health inequalities at different levels enhances our understanding of how those systematic differences are produced and hence, our capacity to appropriately inform national and cross-national strategies. In fact, as tackling inequalities in oral health has increasingly become a goal of governments in different countries, the study of political determinants can make a relevant contribution to the evidence base that should inform appropriate policy development.
This symposium will discuss the importance of the political determinants for the analysis of health inequalities and the progress made in the oral health field. In addition, what we think is missing and some ideas to move this topic forward.

Learning Objectives
- At the end of this symposium attendees will have an:Understanding of current theoretical and methodological approaches to analyse political determinants of population health and patterns of inequalities.
- Understanding of what the evidence has shown so far in terms of political determinants of oral health inequalities.
- Understanding of how the oral health research community can move forward this topic and inform appropriate policy development at global, national and local levels.
