The Scientific theme of IADR ANZ 2022
Celebrating the Breadth and Depth of Oral Health Research
The theme of the 2022 IADR ANZ meeting is “Celebrating the Breadth and Depth of Oral Health Research”. It will be a celebration as it will be the first time our diverse scientific community has been able to gather at a face to face meeting since the start of the pandemic. We will celebrate the exchange of ideas and new information that will be presented at the conference and the opportunity for you to network with your colleagues and develop new connections and collaborations. Please join us for what will be an exciting meeting.

Venue
We have organised an over-sized main lecture theatre and two other large lecture theatres for the conference so that delegates will have more than adequate space to socially distance if necessary. The foyer area where we will hold the morning and afternoon teas, lunches and poster presentations is very large with a three story high ceiling and is very well ventilated. Delegates will also have the option of open space between sessions.

The title of presentation:
"Are we there yet? The contribution of social and behavioural sciences to oral health"
Short bio:
Professor Sarah Baker BSc, PhD, C.Psychol, AFBPsS is a Professor of Psychology as applied to Dentistry at the School of Clinical Dentistry, University of Sheffield and Chartered Health Psychologist with the British Psychological Society. She is currently Head of the Unit of Oral Health, Dentistry and Society in the School of Clinical Dentistry which incorporates paediatric dentistry, orthodontics, primary dental care and dental public health. She is Editor-in-Chief of the international flagship journal Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology; the first social scientist to become Editor of a Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine journal. She is Past President of the Behavioural, Epidemiologic, and Health Services Research group of the IADR, and has received many international awards for her contributions to social and behavioural sciences in dentistry. These include the prestigious 2018 International Association of Dental Research, Distinguished Scientist Award for Behavioural, Epidemiological and Health Services Research, and the 2013, 2016 and 2022 IADR Giddon Award for Distinguished Research in the Behavioural Sciences. She has an Honorary Professorship at University College London, and holds an Honorary post in the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (formerly Public Health England). She has authored 250 peer-reviewed publications, and been awarded over £8.5 million in research and consultancy income. She was a co-author on the recently published "Consensus Statement on Future Directions for the Behavioral and Social Sciences in Oral Health" published in the Journal of Dental Research (JDR), which highlights the current state of knowledge in the behavioural and social oral health sciences and identifies future directions for the field. Her central research interest is the examination of the psychological, social and behavioural factors which influence how individual’s experience oral health conditions. Understanding the role of such psychosocial factors allows her to explore potential mechanisms by which oral health impacts on an individual's quality of life and well-being and, in turn, develop, implement and evaluate intervention strategies to improve oral health both within clinical practice and for public health dentistry. She has collaborated with dental researchers around the world on a diverse range of projects from gum health, oral health inequalities, dentine hypersensitivity, dry mouth, dental caries, head and neck cancer, gerodontology, orthodontics, dental anxiety, to systems science and implementation of evidence-based care.
Summary of presentation:
The social and behavioural sciences are central to understanding and addressing dental, oral, and craniofacial health, diseases, and conditions, and are relevant to every discipline in dentistry. This presentation will highlight some of the ways in which the knowledge, methods and theories from social and behavioural sciences can help advance our understanding in oral health and has the potential to deliver more effective strategies for the complex challenges we face in dentistry. Many of these big challenges or Wicked Problems are multi-component in nature and too intractable to be managed or solved by working within traditional disciplinary boundaries. This talk will outline where we are currently, and the challenges and opportunities ahead.

COVIDSafe plans
-
Face masks
The University continues to follow Victorian public health orders for face masks. You must carry a face mask at all times and wear one as required under current COVIDSafe Settings.
The Victorian Department of Health strongly recommends wearing a mask indoors and whenever you cannot physically distance. The University encourages everyone to follow this advice to help reduce the transmission of airborne viruses.
In addition, the University’s expectation is that, through to the end of winter, students and staff will wear masks when in classroom settings, except where removing a mask is necessary for clear communication or when a particular activity requires the removal of a mask (all existing exemptions continue to apply).
-
Cleaning and sanitising
The University has implemented enhanced infection control and cleaning measures across all facilities, including:
- More frequent cleaning and disinfection by professional cleaning staff
- Self-service infection control measures, such as 2500+ touch-free hand sanitiser dispensers and 3000+ alcohol wipe dispensers
- Additional deep cleaning, disinfection and site closures as needed in response to a confirmed case of COVID-19
-
Physical distancing
- People are encouraged wherever possible to maintain a physical distance of 1.5m between themselves and others
- Indoor spaces have been reconfigured and plexiglass barriers installed in some service areas to facilitate physical distancing
- Signage and floor decals provide reminders for people to maintain physical distance of 1.5m where possible
- Wearing a face mask is strongly recommended whenever you cannot maintain a physical distance of 1.5m between yourself and others
-
Ventilation
The University has reviewed buildings for adequacy of ventilation capacity and introduced a variety of measures to reduce the risk of indoor transmission of COVID-19, including:
- Increasing ventilation by mechanical or natural means where necessary
- Where the system is unable to ensure to adequate air intake and exchange, other mitigations, such as portable air purifiers have been deployed
- Real-time monitoring of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels as a proxy to evaluate airborne virus risk and adequate fresh air supply – monitors have been installed in teaching spaces and some other spaces to actively monitor air quality
- Encouraging greater use of outdoor spaces
