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
Dental, oral, craniofacial, and pulpal tissues suffer defects from injury or disease that require reconstruction and regeneration. Bioengineering offers advancements in understanding how biological cells and tissues interface with biomaterials and new strategies to regenerate damaged tissue.
The purpose of this symposium is to provide a high-level overview of exciting developments in bioengineering in oral diseases. A broad spectrum of expertise will be represented by our featured clinician-scientist speakers. Topics will include current challenges in oncologic maxillofacial reconstruction and current standard-of-care. This will be followed by novel strategies of 3D-printing biomineral scaffolds for hard-tissue reconstruction, and the hard-soft tissue interactions between biomaterials and their tissue niches. Finally, the symposium will discuss bioengineering approaches to program adult human stem and progenitor cells for salivary gland regeneration.
These topics are highly applicable to regeneration of salivary, craniofacial, and dentin-pulp complexes, which feature hard-soft tissue interfaces, adult progenitor cells with capacity for tissue regeneration, and complex three-dimensional geometries for biomaterial design and fabrication. We propose that interaction and discussion on these topics between oral and maxillofacial surgery, salivary research, craniofacial biology, and pulp biology and regeneration will help foster unique and innovative collaboration and discussion.
This symposium will target dental students, post-graduate students, dentists, dentist-scientists, and scientists who wish to expand their knowledge of bioengineering approaches in maxillofacial reconstruction. This session will be geared towards clinicians and researchers alike.
