"Maintaining Ailing Teeth: A Realistic Treatment Option in the Era of Implant Dentistry?"
Presented by Dr. Paul S. Rosen, DMD, MS
Continuing Education Credits: 6
Dental implants have provided a predicable means to replace teeth that are ailing/failing. Their predictability and generalizability have been such that many clinicians have abandoned trying to manage challenging clinical dilemmas like an advanced infrabony or furcation lesion. There are however, many clinical situations where ailing/failing teeth would be best managed by their retention. Regenerative therapy is one means by which periodontally compromised teeth can be maintained, particularly when considering some of the biologics available today. Moreover, regeneration can also be applied to treat dental implants that could otherwise be lost due to peri-implantitis. Topics to be covered will include non-surgical periodontal therapy, the adjunctive use of local delivery and systemic antibiotics, host modulation, lasers and surgical therapies with the emphasis on regeneration.
Dr. Rosen maintains a full-time practice in Yardley, Pennsylvania, limited to periodontics, surgical implant placement and regenerative therapy. He also has an appointment as Clinical Associate Professor of Periodontics at the University of Maryland Dental School. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and serves as an Examiner for the oral examination of the Board. He has served on a number of committees for the American Academy of Periodontology and reviews for a number of journals and helped found Clinical Advanced in Periodontology. He has authored/co-authored articles on periodontal regeneration and dental. Dr. Rosen has lectured nationally and internationally on the subject of regeneration for both teeth and dental implants.

"The Connections Between Periodontal Health and Systemic Well-Being: What Do They Mean to My Practice?"
Presented by Dr. Brian Mealey, DDS, MS
Continuing Education Credits: 6
From the New England Journal of Medicine to Ladies Home Journal, the last 15 years have seen an explosion of published information related to the interactions between oral and systemic health. Patients reading this information want to know how it relates to their own health. This lecture reviews the links between periodontal/peri-implant inflammation and commonly encountered systemic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and pregnancy. The purpose of the lecture is to translate knowledge gleaned from medical and dental research into the everyday world of clinical dental practice.
