Special Scheduling Requests: If you have any special requests (because of religious, academic, travel or personal conflicts) or if you wish to request that abstracts be scheduled in a specific order, enter this information in the “Special Request” box when submitting your abstract. It will be taken into account when setting up the scientific programme. It is very difficult to make any changes after the scientific programme has been set-up.
All presenters must agree to the following conditions when submitting an abstract:
- Affirm that any work with human or animal subjects reported on complies with the guiding principles for experimental procedures found in the Declaration of Helsinki of the World Medical Association, and this research project has been duly cleared by my Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Institutional Ethics Committee or an equivalent ethical body.
- Affirm that the work has not been published (in print or electronically) or presented elsewhere prior to the 2026 CED/NOF-IADR Oral Health Research congress.
- Agree that if the abstract is accepted, IADR has permission to publish the abstract in printed and/or electronic formats.
- Agree to pre-register for the congress and pay the registration fee before the presenter pre-registration deadline of July 03, 2026
Abstract rules and guidelines:
- Abstract titles are required to be 10 words or less. The title should be dynamic and conclusive, rather than descriptive, and should be entered in title case format, AP format. In general, you should capitalize the first letter of each word unless it is a preposition or article. Do italicize scientific names of organisms such as streptococci or candida. Titles should not be bold.
- Individuals may present only one (1) abstract (excluding symposia & keynote lectures).
- Abstracts must report on original research.
- Submitters may not split one research project into several papers.
- Individuals can co-author multiple abstracts.
- Presenters must disclose any potential personal or co-author conflict of interest and agree to the IADR Policy on Full Disclosure (https://www.iadr.org/events/event-policies/iadr-full-disclosure-policy) along with the IADR Abstract Licensing Policy (https://www.iadr.org/events/event-policies/iadr-policy-abstract-licensing) during submission.
- Previously published abstracts (in print or electronically) or those presented at another meeting are not allowed.
- Abstracts may not report on a research project presented at a symposium held at the same congress.
- Authors of presentations later proven to contain previously published material will be sanctioned and may be prohibited from presenting at future IADR congresses.
- The Scientific Committee reserves the right to reclassify submitted abstracts into the most appropriate area of review.
- You must receive the approval of all co-authors before putting their names on the abstract.
- Abstracts are reviewed if submitted before the abstract submission deadline of April 03, 2026. Abstracts in Draft will not be reviewed and included in the scientific programme. Presenters are not permitted to modify their abstracts after April 03, 2026.
- Typographical or grammatical errors that appear in your abstract will not be corrected, and will also appear in the final online Scientific Programme.
Review process:
Submitted abstracts will be peer reviewed by the Scientific Committee of the 2026 CED/NOF-IADR Oral Health Research congress. Each abstract is reviewed by a minimum of 2 reviewers (in a doubtful case a third reviewer will be appointed) who are experts in the respective scientific field. Final decision of acceptance/rejection will be based on individual and average reviewer scores.
Abstract Notification:
A first acceptance/rejection notifications will be emailed around mid May 2026 at the latest. This notification will NOT include date nor session time. This first notification will allow presenters to apply for a Visa, if needed, and to make travel arrangements. The final official acceptance/rejection notifications will be emailed on or around June 3, 2026 to all abstract submitters. The notifications will include presentation mode, date, and session time. An email containing the Final Presentation # will be sent after the Presenter Pre-registration deadline (July 4, 2026), to all registered presenters.
NOTE: All communication between CED-IADR and the PRESENTER will be solely via email. The presenter email address used will be the one you provided for the presenting author. Please make sure that you enter a valid and long-term email address. Accepted and presented abstracts become part of a special online-only issue of the Journal of Dental Research, the journal for dental, oral and craniofacial research. Accepted and presented congress abstracts are citable.
