2023 IADR/LAR General Session with WCPD
The 2023 IADR/LAR General Session & Exhibition with WCPD 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 Bogotá, Colombia. The meeting was attended by 1,667 individuals from 76 countries.The recordings in this library from the meeting are a selection of the science that was presented at the General Session. 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
Fear and anxiety in dental homes may be as high as 43 percent among children and 16-20 percent in adults. In fact it is the second reason after cost that prohibits patients from seeking preventive, accessible and affordable dental care. Dentistry remains the only health care service that triggers fear/anxiety/phobia. Recognizing fearful patients in the dental home requires in-depth knowledge about the etiology of dental fear and anxiety assessment scales completion prior to dental treatment. Non- pharmacologic interventions and new innovative digital app based digital technology may be essential in desensitizing anxious dental patients and extracting them from the vicious cycle of fear and aversion to dental care including preventive care in the long term. Advancements in minimally invasive dentistry (MID) may be critical to the dental treatment planning to reduce fear in the dental home and decrease the burden of dental disease and reinforce preventive dentistry. The early onset of the vicious cycle of dental fear has long-term ramifications in terms of disease experience, treatment options, cost, and avoidance behavior by causing a deterioration in oral health leading to symptom-driven treatment from a linked chain feeding back into the fear experience.
