Germany, München

The coverage of recessions around teeth is a very successful surgical treatment. The published evidence suggests that periodontal plastic surgeons can very predictably perform these procedures. However, how does reality present? What are the measurement methods and indexes used to support the external evidence? During this lecture, we will look very critically at the evidence we used to support our enthusiasm about the coverage of recession procedures. Second, we will try to answer the raised question in the title of this lecture. Third, the entire thought process will be supported by clinical cases.

Prof. Dr. Fridus van der Weijden graduated in 1984 from the State University Dental School in Utrecht, the Netherlands where he also received his training as a periodontist and was accredited by the Dutch Society of Periodontology in 1990. He defended his thesis entitled, "The use of models and indices in plaque and gingivitis trials" in 1993 and received accreditation as a "senior investigator" by the Netherlands Institute for Dental Sciences in 2000.  In 2005 he received accreditation as an"'Implant-specialist" by the Dutch Society of Oral Implantology. Since 1986 Fridus van der Weijden divides his time between the Clinic for Periodontology Utrecht and the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA). He is a frequent lecturer in postgraduate courses and the author of the book entitled, "The Power of Ultrasonics" and the co-author and co-editor of the book "Preventive Dentistry".  He has also authored and co-authored approximately 120 national and 250 international publications. The Ivory Cross awarded to him in early 2009 with the Carl Witthaus Medal of honor for his work on prevention and propagation of oral health. Early 2010 he has been appointed as professor at the University of Amsterdam with "Prevention and Therapy of periodontal infections" as main focus for his research. This special chair has been an initiative of the Dutch Society of Periodontology. In 2016, the Academic Centre for Dentistry has provided him with a regular chair position.

United Kingdom, Bristol

The Clinical Trials Unit is in the international arena of research with regards to toothwear (erosion, attrition, abrasion and abfraction), tooth bleaching, tooth staining, dentine hypersensitivity, prevention of plaque and gingivitis and treatment of diseases of the periodontium, and soft and hard tissue regeneration in periodontology and implantology . The studies are carried out both within the Clinical Trials Unit at the Bristol Dental School in dedicated laboratories and clinical environment, and in General Dental Practice in the UK. Studies are often initially conducted in vitro before moving into in situ and in vivo models. The research group has developed an ethically approved in situ model using human teeth to assess, in particular, the erosive properties of acidic soft drinks, the abrasive and erosive effects of oral healthcare products and their synergistic effect with each other, in order to help manage clinical toothwear which is the fourth most common condition in dentistry after caries, periodontal disease and trauma. Further these models allow occlusion of dentine tubules to be assessed in order to reduce the pain of dentine hypersensitivity experienced by at least 15% of the population worldwide. Other areas of active research involve studies into bioglasses, dental implants, bone regenerative materials and pain reduction when performing oral local anaesthesia. The majority of the research is supported by international industrial funding from the UK, Europe, Switzerland and the US as well as external grants such as EU monies.

Prof. Dr. Asaf Wilensky DMD, PhD

Israel, Jerusalem

Dental implants provide a common and very expensive treatment option to replace missing teeth to restore both functionality and aesthetics. It is estimated that over 500,000 implants are currently placed per year in the U.S. only and many more around the world. However, about 20-50% of people who had implants for five to ten years experience peri-implantitis, a chronic inflammatory disease that destroys soft and hard tissues around the implant causing implant and restoration failure. This condition has been described by leading dental surgeons as a "time bomb". This disease generally occurs without the patient being aware of it since it generally progresses in a painless fashion. Peri-implantitis and its causes are still poorly understood and presently, there is no gold standard approach for its treatment. The current hypothesis claims that the bacteria around the crowns and implants (dental plaque) is the main cause of peri-implantitis; however the destruction is caused by an excessive body’s immune response to the dental plaque. Despite substantial evidence that tissue destruction is due to excessive inflammation, the current approach to prevention and treatment of peri-implantitis is to remove plaque, rather than treat the inflammation. Plaque removal is flawed since peri-implantitis cannot be cured with plaque control. This approach results in loss of tissue and compromised esthetics. In light of these problems and due to the continuously increasing number of implants placed in everyday dental practice, we reasonably expect an increasing prevalence of peri-implantitis and the necessity for an effective treatment. Dr. Asaf Wilensky from the School of Dentistry at Hadassah University Hospital is undertaking a very important research with the premise that resolution of inflammation is an active process rather than a passive decay of pro-inflammatory signals. He is encouraged by the potential of pro-resolving molecules such as Resolvin D2 to promote the resolution of inflammation, thus preventing periodontal (gum disease) pathology around implants and teeth. Dr. Wilensky used an animal model for this research and found the encouraging result that simple topical applications of Resolvin D2 actually terminated inflammation and bone loss and thus prevented periodontal disease. This finding is really unprecedented in periodontal therapy. Dr. Wilensky’s proposed work is to gain an understanding on how the bacteria-induced peri-implantitis develops and to determine the mechanism by which Resolvin D2 prevents and treats this phenomenon for the overall health of patients. Dr. Wilensky has successfully developed a novel mouse model of peri-implantitis with the aim of finding innovative treatment. The use of a small animal model for periodontal disease and peri-implantitis has many advantages: 1) a small animal model is less expensive and thus allowing to study complex immune mechanisms which cannot be studied in large animals 2) this model generates important and relevant information on the potential mechanisms involved in inflammation in the soft and hard tissues during periodontal disease and peri-implantitis; 3) the use of genetically manipulated animals allows us to study the involvement of specific genes in periodontal and peri-implant diseases. Dr. Wilensky’s research will produce important information for the resolution and healing processes in gum disease and peri-implantitis, thus the potential of improving the global quality of life and overall health outcomes in post-implant and periodontal patients. Support for the research undertaken by Dr. Wilensky is of the utmost importance due to the increasing prevalence of peri-implantitis and the significant problem it poses given the cumulative number of implants delivered over time. His research plan aims to produce a simple and effective treatment that will have great impact not only on those millions of individuals throughout the world who suffer from untreatable post-implant diseases but also awareness of an effective treatment on those planning to have teeth implanted.
