Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) :	Objectives: To evaluate dental visit and its determinants among the elderly aged 60 or more in Tehran, Iran, in 2011. Methods: The data were taken from the Urban HEART-2 study, in 2011. Out of the data of 3713 subjects aged 60 years and more and having dental data, 3508 subjects were included in the present study with a response rate of 95%. Tehran has 368 neighborhoods and this survey was across a random selection of 22 districts. A multi-stage cluster sampling design was used in three levels of district, neighborhood and block with 8 households in each block. Five two-day workshops were organized to train 1240 surveyors (auxiliary health workers). Data on background information including age (years), gender (1=male, 2=female), education (1=illiterate, 2=under diploma, 3=diploma, 4=university educated), dental visit during last year (0, 1-2, and 3 or more) and mean numbers of teeth were reported during a guided interview. Ethics committees of IUMS and Tehran Urban Planning and Research Centre approved the present study. SPSS for Windows, Version 16.0 was used for statistical analysis. Differences between subgroups were evaluated by ANOVA for mean values, and chi-square for percentages. Linear regression analysis used to assess the role of independent factors on the number of teeth. Results: The mean age of subjects was 68.7 (SD=7.0) years and 60% were men. Of all, 17% were current smokers and 15% (n=531) were edentate. Among dentate elderly (n=2977), mean number of teeth was 21 (SD=11), 46% had no dental visit, 38% one to two, and 16% three or more dental visits during last year. Dental visit was higher among elderly men (p=0.01) and those with a higher education (p=0.0001). Results of linear regression analysis showed having a higher number of teeth was less likely among older subjects and more likely among more educated subjects (Beta=1.79), and those having more dental visits (Beta=1.79). Conclusions: Age, education and dental visit were associated with number of teeth.

If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. :	Professor Juka Muermann President-elect of IADR
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress :	The new officer for the Oral health in WHO is introduced and Professor Hirushi Ogawa works in this position. A good interaction with WHO certainly help the country for better oral health of people. IADR and FDI now cooperate to international activities and usually a representative from FDI participate in the IADR congresses to support and harmonize their activities. This is a good example for our congresses to have other associations cooperation.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) :	The trip to Seoul needs usually to pass over China, with stop in China that needs a double entry visa that costs 540 dollars, so other routs are preferred.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: :	There are plenty options for international collaborations that presenting in panels and having a good discussion will help to introducing the local activities. I suggest to teachers to have their PhD students accompany with them in international congresses to introduce them to scientific members of congress and to encourage them to present their abilities in discussions. The type of exhibition and the rule of prohibition of direct sale is very useful.
