Objective
The European Association of Dental Public Health (EADPH) together with the British Association for the Study of Community Dentistry (BASCD) are holding their joint Annual Scientific Conference in the National University of Ireland, Cork on the 14th and 15th September 2000. The EADPH was founded 3 years ago and its 308 members include Dental Public Health practitioners and researchers from all 15 Member States and also from many of the Associated States. BASCD was founded in 1980 and has a membership of 510 members. Professor O'Mullane, who is the proposal co-ordinator for EuroDent Fluor will be President of BASCD for the year 2000 and will be Chairman of the local organising Committee for the Cork Scientific Conference. There are major inequalities in the level of oral health amongst children and adults throughout Europe. In Europe fluorides are used to varying degrees in different countries, in water, salt, toothpastes, mouth rinses and tablets and varnishes. Currently there is concern that some communities may be exposed to too much fluoride and it is claimed that enamel fluorosis (discolouration of teeth) may be increasing. The objective of the Cork Conference is to address these issues.
In particular it is proposed to: 1. present the current knowledge on the use of fluorides worldwide and their impact on oral health using established international experts in this subject; 2. and outline the current usage of fluorides in the promotion of oral health in Europe; 3. outline future options in health policy towards current and future use of fluoride for the promotion of oral health by EU Member States and Associated States.
The following international experts will present papers at the Conference: Professor G. Whitford (USA), Dr J. Ekstrand (Sweden), Professor D. O'Mullane (Irl), Dr J. Cochran (Irl), Dr C. Van Loveren and Professor B. Ten Cate (NL).
The training content of this proposal will be: one young dental public worker researcher from each of the 15 Member States and the 15 Associated States will attend the European Dental Public Health Conference in Cork and make a poster presentation.
