Description
Hossein Hessari, Fatemeh Darabi, and Masoud Shabani assess how Iran's oral health prevention aligns with global advice, in a 2026 policy brief. Three decades of national and school programmes cut tooth decay, especially in twelve-year-olds. Newer priorities include enamel defects and system responsiveness. Alignment beyond decay had not been systematically checked.
A four-part framework rated policy existence, coverage, implementation quality, and outcomes. Areas reviewed ranged from gum disease and tobacco to trauma, cancer, and older adult care. Provincial experience with caries-free schools offers a platform for expansion. The brief argues reassessment will keep strategy consistent with evolving population needs and global guidance.
