The 2014 AAP Regeneration Workshop, co-chaired by the Osteology Board members William V. Giannobile and Pamela K. McClain. The international consensus meeting on the topic „Enhancing Periodontal Health Through Regenerative Procedures“ was of huge interest to the Osteology Foundation, and therefore it was supported with an educational grant.
We are excited to announce that the proceedings of this workshop have now been published in a special supplement of the Journal of Periodontology, and are available online with free access.
The publication is a great result of the first joined efforts of the AAP and the Osteology Foundation. The results have demonstrated that regenerative procedures are effective and predictable treatment options for helping patients retain their natural dentition.
„The workshop was an amazing collaborative effort that provides the most current consensus of therapies and technologies in regenerative treatment,“ sayd AAP president Joan Otomo-Corgel at a press-conference in Chicago, when the publication was announced. „We“re thrilled to share the results of the these dynamic discussions. This bell weather information will provide tremendous benefit to the periodontal specialty, the dental community, and the patients we treat.“
Proceedings of the 2014 AAP Regeneration Workshop
Enhancing Periodontal Health Through Regenerative Procedures
Fifty-two workshop participants met in Chicago last summer to conduct a systematic review of existing literature, culminating in the development of consensus reports and practical applications to aid practitioners in the clinical environment.
The Osteology Foundation’s motto is „Linking Science with Practice in Regeneration“. The Foundation was established in 2003 and its core activities include funding of research projects and organisation of national and international symposia throughout the world. In recent years, the Foundation has expanded its focus. Today, it also offers courses and textbooks specifically for researchers in the field of oral tissue regeneration.
