We would like to inform you that the 16th Congress of the International Association for Disability and Oral Health (IADH) will be held on September 4-7, 2002, at Caravel Hotel, Athens-Greece. on September 4-7 2002, in Athens-Greece.

The International Association for Disability and oral Health (I.A.D.H.), formerly the International Association of Dentistry for the Handicapped, exists to serve as a focus for National Academies, Associations, Societies and Federations as well as individuals, striving to improve access to, and the quality of oral health in people with disabilities and is one of the largest Associations in the area of Dentistry, with more than 5.000 members all over the world.

I.A.D.H. has an admirable track record in the field of recognition of the right of Disabled People to Dental Treatment. At the same time, I.A.D.H. is responsible for informing, not only the people that have any kind of contact with Disabled People, but also the general public for the special needs of Disabled People and the prospects that exist for the recognition and solution of their problems. The Association's role is to improve, develop and sustain international communications by acting as a forum for the exchange of information in the area of oral health care for people who are disabled intellectually, physically, medically, sensorily or socially.

The goal of this meeting is to give the opportunity to all scientists working in the field of Dentistry for Special Patients, such as People with Special Needs to exchange information and experience, to promote international collaboration and to renew old friendship. In addition, it aims to providing direct information to the groups of patients we serve. It is our ambition to prevent an irresistible scientific Program that will include practical clinical papers and research information in a clinically useful manner. Mariana Vardinogianni, UNESCO's Ambassador of Good Will., will honor us with his presence in the opening ceremony of the Congress, along with many other important personalities from Greece and major countries.
