Biomaterials Therapeutics in the World of Dental Caries

7th Annual AAC Conference
BIOMATERIALS THERAPEUTICS IN THE WORLD OF DENTAL CARIES
Westin Hotel at Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego, California
October 4th, 2023
Description & Goals
Advances in minimally invasive carious tissue removal to maintain pulpal health and a deeper understanding of the oral biofilm have challenged the world of dental materials. Research on the biological interaction of materials with the oral tissues and development of novel formulations with the potential to enhance the longevity of restorations and conservation of tooth structure have received great attention in recent years. This conference will focus on the current evidence and research related to the implications of selective caries removal to maintain pulp health, the influence of the biofilm, and the different strategies being proposed to improve dental materials and their interactions with the host.
