In March 2023 San José, VieSID and the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Costa Rica organized a Wenner-Grenn workshop https://wennergren.org/grantee/cinzia-fornai/ to discuss how anthropologists and dentists could team up to address critical oral health issues in Central America through research and educational activities.
The editors of the Argentinian Journal of Biological Anthropology (Revista Argentina de Antropología Biológica, RAAB https://revistas.unlp.edu.ar/raab/index), Lumila P. Menéndez and Angelina García offered us the opportunity to publish the outcomes of our workshop in a dedicated Dossier entitled “Anthropology meets Dentistry in Central America: Education and Research in Oral Biology. The AnthropologyCA workshop” composed of an introduction and 5 articles, and retrievable under https://revistas.unlp.edu.ar/raab/issue/view/1050.
We hope this endeavor will inspire researchers and clinicians to work jointly for the advancement of oral health, especially for the benefit of disadvantaged human groups.
