The BSODR Oral and Dental Research Conference brings together clinical researchers, academic scientists, oral health specialists, and dental practitioners across the UK and internationally. Hosted under the auspices of the British Society for Oral and Dental Research (BSODR)—the British division of the International Association for Dental Research (IADR)—this premier scientific gathering in Cardiff provides a multidisciplinary forum for presenting breakthrough laboratory, translational, and clinical oral health studies. Attendees will engage with cutting-edge investigations addressing tissue engineering, biomaterials, periodontology, and preventative dental healthcare.
Key Scientific Tracks and Themes
The comprehensive technical program spans several distinct research tracks designed to accelerate knowledge transfer between basic sciences and clinical practice. Scientific sessions explore next-generation restorative biomaterials, digital workflow integrations, advanced bone regeneration methodologies, and oral microbiome characterizations. Expert panels will address public health epidemiology, oral disease prevention strategies, and multi-omics approaches in dental diagnostics. Presentations by leading academic investigators will showcase how novel diagnostic tools and low-carbon clinical protocols are reshaping modern dental surgery and patient outcomes.
Early Career Researcher Development and Awards
A dedicated pillar of the conference focuses on empowering early career researchers (ECRs), postgraduate scholars, and clinical academics. The agenda features structured oral presentation prize competitions, poster presentation showcases, and interactive grant-writing workshops. Senior principal investigators and journal editors will deliver practical masterclasses on research methodology, navigating academic career pathways, and publishing high-impact clinical trials.
Networking and Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Designed to foster sustainable partnerships across universities, dental institutes, and industrial partners, the conference provides ample opportunities for structured networking. Attendees can directly interact with key academic figures, policy advisors, and healthcare industry exhibitors during dedicated poster sessions and roundtables. By facilitating collaboration across basic science and operational dentistry, the BSODR conference strengthens the national research infrastructure and advances evidence-based oral healthcare.
