  Guidelines for Abstract Submission  
 


The joint IADR/SEAADE meeting will include oral and poster presentations. Applicants may indicate their preferred mode of presentation and the Scientific Committee will make every effort to comply with the request of the authors. In the event that your request is not honored, and you wish to have your abstract withdrawn, you must indicate this desire on the abstract form. In the absence of an expressed wish to have an abstract removed, participants are obliged to present in the assigned mode. Applicants are encouraged to take an active part in both the IADR and SEAADE sections of the meeting. The SEAADE section will focus on the education of oral health care workers. An individual participating in the joint meeting can submit only one abstract and present only one paper in each of the IADR and SEAADE sections of the joint meeting. Presenters may appear as co-author on other abstracts.
