2022 IADR/APR General Session

The 100 th General Session & Exhibition of the IADR was held in conjunction with the 5th Meeting of the Asia Pacific Region. The virtual meeting was attended by individuals from around the world. Those attending the meeting could choose from among 207 Interactive Talk sessions, seven Focused Learning Sessions, three Hands-on Workshops, five satellite symposia, 52 Symposia, one Distinguished Lecture Series and a plenary. 

The recordings in this library from the meeting are a selection of the science that was to be presented as part of the General Session. These recordings give you the opportunity to participate in the meeting and hear from leading researchers. The recordings include the IADR Distinguished Lecture Series speaker and symposia from a collection of scientific groups and networks.

This session can be purchased as part of the full meeting recordings within the product bundles

Session Description 
One of the most aggressive chronic oral inflammatory diseases, periodontitis, affects the integrity of both soft and hard tissue and ultimately leads to bone and tooth loss. Meanwhile, millions of implants fail from infection yearly. The last decade has witnessed the emergence of strategies aimed toward the development of more personalized regenerative treatment, particularly those which incorporate 3D bioprinting, cell therapies, and bioengineering strategies. This age of opportunity relies on a sustainable workforce eager to navigate the challenges of such translational, regenerative research. Young investigators drive change, reject conventional ideas, and fearlessly innovate toward better oral health outcomes. In the context of this symposium, recently developed biomaterials strategies (i.e., biomolecule nanocoatings and Hemidesmosome Inducing Light-curable Biosealants), inspired by the junctional epithelium, to enhance healing around implants will be highlighted. Furthermore, new knowledge in the field of biofabrication regarding the engineering of personalized tissue-specific scaffolds via melt electrowriting technology that lead to predictable periodontal regeneration and the reconstruction of alveolar bone via bioprinting strategies will be discussed. Lastly, this symposium will present groundbreaking organ-on-a-chip technologies capable to replicate native biological functions ex vivo and enable high-throughput techniques essential to disease modeling and drug testing. Together, this symposium will spotlight the next generation of regenerative scientists capable of advancing dental, oral, and craniofacial health.

Learning Objectives
  • Present prospects of novel bio-inspired materials to enhance healing around implants.
  • Provide the latest evidence on innovative 3D (bio)printing technologies to develop personalized and tissue-specific scaffolds for craniomaxillofacial tissue regeneration.
  • Discuss recent knowledge in the field of organ-on-a-chip relevant to the engineering of vascularized bone.
