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
Traditionally removal of caries was performed following a regime, which was introduced by G.V Black where all caries was removed and the cavity shape adapted to the type of restorative material used. Initially dental amalgam was the material of choice thus the cavities needed extra retentive features. The introduction of the composite resins led to less tooth structure removal as the composite resins rely on the bonding to enamel for retention inside the cavity. All procedures necessitated a clean cavity with no residual caries. The contemporary approach to caries removal a minimally invasive approach with either the selective removal of the infected dentine or a stepwise caries removal which is followed by the use of a suitable restorative material to seal and bond to the underlying modified tooth structure. This reduces the risk of unnecessary pulp exposure since the final aim of cavity preparation is the preservation of the dental pulp. In minimally invasive dentistry the choice of materials needs to be aimed at bonding to caries affected dentine and also attempt at remineralization. This symposium will attempt to bring together experts in both cariology and dental materials to discuss the various aspects of minimally invasive dentistry from the carious process to the restorative options.

Learning Objectives
  • An overview of the carious process and the dentine properties with the current updated caries removal techniques.
  • Understanding the microbiology and microstructure of the carious dentine and implementing strategies for dentine preparation prior to tooth restoration.
  • Analyse and discuss the tooth restoration process and long-term clinical outcomes of restoration of teeth managed with minimally invasive dentistry.
