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 
The future is shaped by the decisions we make today. Research in Minimally Invasive Dentistry is moving fast with exciting new developments i.e., innovative detection systems, gene identification, and bioactive materials. A new paradigm using Minimally Invasive techniques for a more comprehensive and holistic approach in clinical dentistry by the employement of futuristic materials can provide sustainable future and focus less on Nations' resources by actively contributing to the improvement of patients’ well-being and oral health for general health. In addition, futuristic materials aim to reduce the replacement of dental restorations since every year, despite the effectiveness of preventive dentistry and dental health care, 75% of restorations fail and require replacement which has an enormous socio-economic impact.

In this respect, dental services need to be reconsidered to address the sustainability of dental treatment from the design of clinical practices to the organisation and delivery of patient care. There are many avenues to reduce the carbon footprint of any dental treatment by incorporating minimally invasive strategies using futuristic material(s) when/if required.

This symposium aims to bring an evidence-based approach with forefront matters of new ideas in Minimally Invasive Dentiustry. The participants will receive further research and clinical updates in aspects related to sustainable futuristic materials for the maximum impact.
