This course aims to enable students to identify the high quality evidence base concerning the prevention of oral diseases and conditions. To achieve this goal, the course covers the discussion on the role of health professionals in the prevention of oral diseases and the promotion of oral and general health at a population level. The course discusses the limitations of traditional approaches to prevention and highlights the concepts and principals of oral health promotion. Its addresses the life course approach and the social determinants approach to promoting oral health and interpreting the determinants of clustering of oral health-related behaviours. Strategies to promote and prevent dental diseases and conditions are also discussed. This course focuses on oral health promotion underlying determinants of health and the incorporation of general health strategies, which address common risk factors to chronic diseases. This approach intends to put oral health professionals in a broader context emphasising that structural and environmental interventions are more likely to benefit the population than more restricted programs promoting changes in individual behaviours.
