2021 IADR/AADR/CADR General Session
The 99th General Session & Exhibition of the IADR was to be held in conjunction with the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Dental Research and the 45th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Association for Dental Research, from July 21-24, 2021 as a Virtual Experience.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 IADR Distinguished Lecture Series speakers, the IADR Academy 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
Tooth decay is a global health issue. It is more prevalent and more severe in disadvantaged people. Conventional restorative treatment focusing on repairing the consequences of tooth decay is impractical in many communities. Recently, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is regarded as an effective, viable, and aerosol-free alternative for caries management. SDF has huge potentials within general dental practices and dental public health, particularly in the Covid-19 pandemic. Several clinical trials have demonstrated promising results of SDF in arresting caries in the past two decades. Updated research and knowledge regarding the effectiveness of SDF in managing dental caries is pivotal. In addition, the mechanism of action remains unclear; research about the mechanism SDF in terms of its effect on carious lesions, including its action on cariogenic bacteria and mineral formation, will be presented. The known adverse effect of SDF on staining carious lesions may be a concern, probably affecting patients' acceptability. The safety and adverse issue of SDF and its impact on treated patients' quality of life will be disseminated in this symposium. Besides, feasibility when implementing the SDF program in a community setting will also be discussed.
Therefore, this proposal aims to provide knowledge and share the updated research of SDF intervention strategies and its mechanism of action to address the unmet needs of people with limited access to dental care. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to network and collaborate with expert members and peers through interactive discussions.
