2022 Consensus Recommendations, Coming Soon...
Over the course of the last 12 months, the IAPD Science Committee has worked on adapting the IAPD Consensus Recommendations by means of several sets of surveys, distributed globally. The latest draft includes Quality of Evidence indicators and now Global Percent Agreement.
As these resources develop and mature, they should lead to more uniform evidence-based oral health care worldwide by giving students and practitioners access to current science.
The goal is to produce a document that will be published on the IAPD website in English, Spanish and French.

Colgate believes that every child and their family have a right to a lifetime of healthy smiles. That’s why we’re championing a brighter future for 2 billion children and their families as we work to improve the health, education, and wellbeing in the U.S. and around the world. I would like to thank the IAPD for the opportunity to partner on such an important award program – the IAPD-Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures’ Award. This award program was established in 1997 to recognize those initiatives that help improve BSBF Logo over the years the oral health habits of children with the purpose of stimulating the development of innovative programs worldwide and facilitating information sharing and transfer. The mission of the IAPD closely aligns with Colgate’s goals to partner with government, the profession, and the community to support the health and well-being of children in communities where we do business. Colgate’s Bright Smiles, Bright Futures initiative (since 1991) is an important example of Colgate’s commitment to this effort, where we have reached over 1 billion children and their families in over 80 countries with health promotion, oral health education and dental treatment in some countries for the most underserved. As such, we are pleased to have the opportunity to acknowledge other oral health programs, submitted by IAPD members to participate in the IAPD-Colgate BSBF Award over the course of the last 25 years. Eligibility for the award was extended to existing and newly created programs in any academic, clinical, or community based setting serving children such as school, health, or community centers. Programs were judged on impact, educational materials and presentation. Together we can promote lifelong learning opportunities and create a world of bright smiles and even brighter futures.
