BSDHT members were invited to submit an abstract in advance of the OHC.

All posters were prominently displayed in the hall of the Oral Health Conference Bournemouth for public viewing and attracted a steady stream of conference delegates interested in the high-quality content.
The diversity of ideas and artistic interpretations made the judging process both challenging and inspiring.
