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

Concerns or complaints about a CE provider may be directed to the provider or to the Commission for Continuing Education Provider Recognition at ADA.org/CERP.
Session Description
The Symposium will be a research showcase in Microbiology and Immunology to highlight recent research on the multidimensional interactions between bacterial species of the subgingival polymicrobial biofilm. Other research will be presented on the important temporospatial relationship of a pathogenic consortium at the base of a periodontal pocket with disease progression and that dissemination of these pathogens may be a mechanism of exacerbating certain systemic diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease. Finally, recent research on potential immunotherapeutic interventions to target microbial virulence factors associated with dysbiosis and to target key components of an inflammatory axis will be presented and the progress in testing of these interventions in human clinical trials will be discussed.
Learning Objectives

Presenters
Richard Lamont - The Oral Microbiome in Homeostasis and Dysbiosis
Jan Potempa - The Molecular Basis of Microbial Virulence in Periodontitis and Systemic Disease

Learning Objectives
- To understand how interactions between bacterial species in a polymicrobial biofilm can promote or suppress dysbiosis
- To appreciate that inflammatory tissue destruction and loss of alveolar bone in periodontitis is primarily mediated by an exaggerated host immune response to a dysbiotic microbial community.
- To know that advances in immunotherapeutic interventions to neutralize microbial virulence factors and pro-inflammatory mediators may have utility in the prevention and treatment of human diseases including periodontal diseases.
