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 
In the recent years, involvement of neuro-immune system was studied in causing persistence of orofacial pain. The neurotransmitters or the other modulators such as inflammatory substances produced by the neuronal and immune cells are responsible for the cross-excitation between neurons and neuron-glial interaction, thus affecting chemical transmission. This chemical transmission is considered to be primarily responsible for the chronicity and the persistent nature of neuropathic and inflammatory pain. This symposium will review the pain signaling due to neurotransmitter or cytokine release in sensory system. The specific areas focused on include: 1) the role of neurotransmitters released from the somata of sensory neurons in pain, 2) neuron-glia and neuroimmune interaction, and 3) role of cytokines in neuromodulation and pain.

Learning Objectives
  • The audience will be able to better understand the participation of neuroimmune communication in orofacial pain transmission.
