The IADR Mission is to drive dental, oral and craniofacial research to advance health and well-being worldwide. The IADR Vision is oral health for the world through discovery and dissemination.

IADR is part of the NCD Alliance because oral diseases are the world’s most prevalent NCDs, resulting in considerable health and economic burdens to populations, and share common risk factors with the four main NCD’s (cardiovascular, respiratory, cancer and diabetes).

IADR's work on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)

IADR is one of two oral health NGOs in official relations with the World Health Organization (WHO), the other being the FDI World Dental Federation — an NCD Alliance NGO partner.

IADR partners with the WHO on such programs as the World Congress on Preventive Dentistry held most recently in New Delhi, India with a focus on the prevention of oral cancer, but also other oral diseases. Through its annual general session, the IADR provides an opportunity for researchers to present their latest finding on the prevention and treatment of oral diseases. At the 2018 IADR General Session in London (United Kingdom), NCD Alliance Chief Executive Officer Katie Dain presented as part of the symposium “Leveraging the NCD Alliance for Prioritising Global Oral Health Research.”
