| Periodontology 50 Years On: What Has Changed? |
| * Poster files available online |
Sponsored by: Periodontal Research - Diagnosis / Epidemiology, Periodontal Research - Pathogenesis, Periodontal Research - Therapy |
| Description: Progress made in recent decades in our knowledge and understanding of the nature of periodontal diseases and in their prevention and treatment has been phenomenal. This symposium will begin with an overview of the state of the art of Periodontology prior to the beginning of the modern era of Periodontics approximately four decades ago to provide a point of reference from which advances made can be described and understood. The clinical philosophy prevalent at this time and the knowledge base in pathology, microbiology and clinical diagnosis and classification will be described. This will be followed by a snapshot of the current paradigms in Periodontology, outlining the advances made in the areas of genetics, risk assessment, diagnostic classification, therapy (implants, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory), pathology and microbiology. The current view that oral inflammation may have systemic effects such as modification of diabetes and increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and preterm low birth weight will be discussed. A perspective on the future of Periodontology will be furnished and the symposium will conclude with a critical assessment of what has really changed in our understanding of the disease and its management. This symposium is supported by Pfizer, Inc |
