The landmark resolution WHA74.5 (2021) on oral health requested WHO to develop, by 2022, a draft global strategy on tackling oral diseases for consideration by WHO governing bodies in 2022 and by 2023; to translate the global strategy into an action plan for oral health. The Global Oral Health Action Plan provides concrete guidance to progress the oral health agenda in countries and proposes a monitoring framework with targets to track progress towards 2030. Combined, these policy documents set the Global oral health agenda towards 2030 with the action plan at the centre, as it translates how to achieve the ambition set out in the strategy and the mandate of the Resolution on oral health. The Global strategy and action plan on oral health 2023-2030 is aligned with the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases 2013–2030 and pillars 1 and 3 of WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work.

ABSTRACT: Helping patients achieve an optimal quality of life through patient-centered treatment planning should be the ultimate goal of all oral health care providers. However, this issue extends beyond the realm of the individual clinician's office. This text presents quality-of-life research from various fields, including psychology, public health, and general health care; discusses how a patient-centered approach can be applied to basic oral and craniofacial research, clinical dental practice, community dental health issues, and dental education; and addresses how oral health-related quality of life relates to treating and understanding different patient populations, such as children with special needs, medically compromised patients, patients with oral cancer, and patients with chronic facial pain. Also discussed is how factors such as race/ethnicity, gender, and age can affect oral health-related quality-of-life concerns and treatment strategies. Finally, the book offers an outlook on the role that oral health-related quality of life will play in future research and dental education.
