Our President Elect, Dr. Soni Stephen, represented IAPD at the 2023 Parliament and General Assembly.
Our pride swells to see prominent IAPD members and volunteers take part in the World Dental Congress of the FDI.

As we look ahead, with the 2027 IAPD Congress set for Osaka, Japan, the wheels of planning and discussion are already in motion. This event also provided a platform for enriching discussions with other prominent IAPD members such as Prof. Christopher Vernazza, the BSPD Editor and Dean of Newcastle Dental School in the UK, Dr. Anne O’Connell, a Past IAPD Editor and member of the IAPD Education Committee among other remarkable individuals.

Spotlight on IAPD Consensus Recommendations
|
|
Did you read the IAPD Consensus Recommendation on Management of Ankyloglossia yet? This is a free resource developed by the IAPD Science Committee, available in English, French and Spanish and Italian!
Tongue-tie, or ankyloglossia, is a condition where the lingual frenulum (tissue beneath the tongue) is abnormally short or tight. It can affect speech and feeding in children. Diagnosis involves assessing the frenulum’s structure and function, ranging from a visual check to a detailed classification system. Ankyloglossia occurs in 0.1% to 11% of newborns, with male gender and family history as risk factors. It can cause breastfeeding difficulties and maternal nipple pain. Recently, focus has shifted to improving breastfeeding through frenotomy (simple incision) instead. This procedure, however, has potential complications, including bleeding, airway obstruction, and scarring. Read the full IAPD Recommendation on this topic now!
