【 摘 要 】

In 2005, the World Health Organization outlined priorities for geriatric oral health and recommended education for oral healthcare providers in both biomedical and psychosocial aspects of care for older people.1 In order to reassess the existing educational systems and training needs of those serving increasingly elderly societies,this topic was made the focus of two international symposia held in 2008—the first at the American Association for DentalResearch (AADR) Annual Meeting in Dallas2 and the second at the International Association for Dental Research (IADR) General Session in Toronto.3 Revised versions of the papers presented by some of the speakers who contributed to these meetings are being published here.
