Abstract
This paper summarises the proceedings of a workshop organised by the European Association of Dental Public Health, held in Montpellier in September 2022. The full proceedings were transcribed and are available on the Community Dental Health website (https://www.cdhjournal.org/article/973). The WHO Action Plan for Oral Health provides a golden opportunity to help raise the profile of oral health, to put oral health on the global public health agenda and ultimately improve oral health. It is to be applauded. However, delivery will present a challenge. Those challenges and opportunities are detailed in this paper.

The discipline covers a wide range and includes such topics as:
-oral epidemiology-
oral health services research-
preventive dentistry - especially in relation to communities-
oral health education and promotion-
clinical research - with particular emphasis on the care of special groups-
behavioural sciences related to dentistry-
decision theory-
quality of life-
risk analysis-
ethics and oral health economics-
quality assessment.
The journal publishes scientific articles on the relevant fields, review articles, discussion papers, news items, and editorials. It is of interest to dentists working in dental public health and to other professionals concerned with disease prevention, health service planning, and health promotion throughout the world. In the case of epidemiology of oral diseases the Journal prioritises national studies unless local studies have major methodological innovations or information of particular interest.
