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 
Peri-implantitis is an immune-mediated biological complication that is estimated to affect 12%-24% of dental implants. Periodontal and peri-implant inflammation are associated with the presence of periodontal or peri-implant biofilms, respectively. Thus, for over a decade, peri-implantitis was treated with the antimicrobial and mechanical treatments used for periodontitis until it was realized that these treatments were ineffective. Nonetheless, despite their seemingly identical phenotypic inflammatory phenotypes that are related to bacterial biofilms, peri-implant inflammatory disease may be singular both in terms of pathogenic microbiome composition and molecular inflammatory characteristics.

Learning Objectives
  • Gain understanding of microbial and other factors that contribute to peri-implant inflammation.
  • Provision of new knowledge on peri-implant immune surveillance.
  • Learn how biomaterial degradation products may alter peri-implant tissue inflammatory responses.
