Mitigating Global Oral Health Inequalities: Research Training Programs in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Although oral diseases are largely preventable, they are among the most non-communicable diseases globally, and they disproportionately burden disadvantaged communities, specially within low- and middle-income nations. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the social, economic, and health inequaliti...
