Anniversary celebration lecture

In his lecture Oral health, epidemiology and the British way of the life Professor Steele will look at the origins of British oral health and how it is perceived, the reasons for the caries epidemic of the 20th century and how things have changed since then. He will address exactly what changed, when, why and what it means for dentists. Attendees will learn about the interpretation of modern epidemiological data in a current policy context and will be able to understand how data has been and can be used to inform policy.

The free BDJ/BDA lecture celebrates the anniversary of the founding of the Association in 1880 by Sir John Tomes, who became the Association’s first President, and Sir Edwin Saunders, one of the dentists to Queen Victoria. The event takes place at the BDA London headquarters. It has been sponsored by Henry Schein and will be chaired by BDJ Editor-in-Chief Stephen Hancocks.
