Editorial

At this time I feel happy, honoured and privileged to have the opportunity to write this editorial. In my capacity as President of the International Association for Disability and Oral Health (IADH), it is my duty to fulfil the IADH mission: being concerned about those with disabilities and disadvantages, working together with those in their community, professional society and social or service organisation, to improve the oral health and quality of life for persons with special needs. One of the major tools to guarantee improvement in knowledge, and consequently in care, is continuing education based on evidence based reports. Within the context of a world association with almost exclusively countries (i.e. societies) as membership, communication of knowledge is not easy. Newsletters and magazines are useful and necessary but can never reach the level of a scientific journal. It has been the ambition for many years for the IADH to have its own journal. After the congress in Yokohama 1998, and with the support of Professor Susumu Uehara, the Japanese Society donated US$ 1,000 in order to fund a potential journal. Now, 10 years later we have been able to achieve that goal. The IADH Executive has negotiated an agreement with the publisher of the Journal of Disability and Oral Health, together with the encouragement and support of the Editor and a former IADH President, Professor June Nunn, to have this journal as the official journal of the IADH. The IADH logo and the claim ‘Official Journal of the IADH’ are now on the front cover. The IADH Executive has taken out a one year blanket subscription, starting 1 January 2008, which will allow all bona fide members of the Association to have complete online access to the full texts of all the papers published in the journal since Vol. 1 No1 2000, in addition to papers published in 2008 (www.jdohonline.org).
