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
Lasers and photonic devices now have the potential to become everyday tools of the dental clinicians, offering advantages over many traditional techniques. The ever-emerging technologies have allowed photonic devices to be used in dentistry for a myriad of applications, from diagnostic to management of conditions, most of the times superseding conventional techniques that have high toxicological indexes1. In diagnoses, early caries detection is an example, where using laser devices, quantitative light-induced fluorescence or Digital Imaging Fiber-Optic transillumination devices, can help to early identify incipient carious process, whilst lasers can help to reverse it and strengthen the enamel and thus eliminate the need for a later restorative intervention2. Fluorescence has also been used for very early detection of oral cancer and for the diagnostic in real time during the removal of cancerous tissues3. The modulation of post-surgical Inflammation and the control of pain, along with the capacity to speed the healing process have been used for years with low power photobiomodulation devices around the world. The effects of photothermal laser devices, offer various advantages of using lasers over conventional techniques such as safety, comfort, precision, and they are minimally invasive, as they are very selective to the tissues been treated4. Laser has become a promising technology that will be shifting mainstream dental practices in the very near future.

Learning Objectives
- Participants will become aware of considering toxicological indexes before planning their management protocol
- Participants will learn about the evidence-based emerging photonic technologies and how can those devices be used in dentistry for a myriad of applications, from diagnostic to management of conditions.
- Participants will comprehend the mechanism behind laser/light-tissue interaction and its importance on the selection of the right device for the specific procedure to optimize outcome and the photothermal effects on implantology.
