2023 AADOCR/CADR Annual Meeting
The 2023 AADOCR/CADR Annual Meeting & Exhibition provided dental, oral, and craniofacial health scientists with the opportunity to present, discuss, and critique their latest and most cutting-edge research at a 100% in-person gathering in Portland, Oregon. The meeting was attended by 2,054 individuals from 39 countries.The recordings in this library from the meeting are a selection of the science that was presented at the Annual Meeting. These recordings give you the opportunity to participate in the meeting and hear from leading researchers. The recordings include IADR Distinguished Lecture Series speakers and symposia from a collection of scientific groups and networks.

Session Description
Extended reality (XR) combines different immersive technologies such as augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and virtual reality (VR) which is now being explored in improving healthcare competencies. In dentistry, XR has the potential in dental education, diagnosis and patient care provisions, digital consultation and interprofessional education. Simulation is an area where AR, VR and MR has been noticeably explored. Despite being the most common approach to gain dental competencies and competence, as an alternative clinical teaching approach, previous research has been met with challenges in representing ‘realistic’ clinical situations and contexts in several dental applications. This symposium will draw on the speakers experience, and research based on VR, AR and associated technologies on dental education applications. This symposium will shed the light on XR in dental education and its potential role in the future of dentistry and dental education, its importance as emerging educational technology. The speakers will identify the educational theories and the evidence that support the use of extended reality and its educational affordances and applications.
Outcomes of the symposium
By the end of the symposium the participants will be able to
Appreciate the role of ER in dental education
Discuss the rationale behind utilizing ER as an immersive educational technology
Discuss and explore future research directions in the field ER and opportunities for research collaboration between participants
