The Bangkok 2024 Declaration: A Call to Action in Controlling the Burden of Oral Non-communicable Diseases in Developing Countries.

The World Health Organization Global Oral Health Meeting held in Bangkok, Thailand, in November 2024 triggered positive perspectives among the dental profession actors and even stakeholders. In developing countries as Latin-America ones, the burden of non-communicable diseases remains high, and for this reason, the Bangkok Declaration might support the improvement of existing and new strategies to achieve a better oral health for current and future generations. The aim of this communication is to identify the needs, opportunities and feasibility to adopt the Bangkok Declaration in order to face oral public health challenges in developing countries.
