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
Conventional treatment methods to alleviate peri-implantitis utilize mechanical and/or chemical debridement to physically remove microbial biofilm on dental implants. However, these decontamination protocols can adversely and irreversibly damage the titanium oxide layer and promote particle release during and after implant cleaning. Titanium particle release has been associated with peri-implant disease progression but has yet to be fully elucidated. Understanding the biological impact and limitations of current implant cleaning methods is crucial to developing new treatment strategies.

In this session, current knowledge of the effect of conventional implant cleaning techniques on titanium surface properties and potential for repassivation will be reviewed. The first presentation will discuss evidence directly connecting implant debridement with loss of titanium oxide layer and repassivation potential. The second presentation will focus on characterization of particles released from titanium surface during decontamination. The last presentation will review current understanding of the biological impact of titanium particles in the oral environment.

Learning Objectives
  • To understand the impact of conventional peri-implantitis treatment methods and potential adverse effect on titanium oxide layer repassivation.
  • To learn about the properties of titanium particles released during implant treatment.
  • To evaluate the biological role of titanium particles in the oral environment
