CV
Binnaz Leblebicioglu (DDS, MS, PhD, FICD) is a tenured full Professor within the College of Dentistry’s Division of Periodontology at The Ohio State University (OSU). She received her dental education in Turkey from Istanbul University, and her graduate (MS & PhD) and periodontal education from the Ohio State University. She is a Diplomate of the ABP and a fellow of AADOCR. As a clinician-scientist, she teaches at both the graduate and predoctoral levels. She has an active research program focusing mainly on periodontal/peri-implant tissue regeneration and homeostasis. She is a member of several organizations and actively serves within the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), Academy of Osseointegration (AO) and American Association for Dental and Craniofacial Research (AADOCR). She is also an examiner for American Board of Periodontology (ABP). She is an active periodontist practicing in the College's Dental Faculty Practice at her university.
Current Trends in Periodontal and Peri-implant Tissue Regeneration
Biomaterials used in periodontal and peri-implant tissue regeneration are similar although the short and longterm outcomes from related treatments are significantly different. This presentation aims to review current developments in interface tissue regeneration in dentistry and the characteristics of available biomaterials. Existing challenges and new trends in improving regenerative potential of materials and host specific counterparts will be discussed.
Learning objectives
- Define the similarities and differences between guided tissue and guided bone regeneration (GTR and GBR) treatment protocols.
- Describe characteristics, advantages and limitations of biomaterials currently indicated for GTR and GBR procedures.
- Explore recent developments in improving regenerative potential of biomaterials while controlling host response.
Personalized Medicine in Dentistry- Are We There Yet?
Recent developments in molecular biology and especially in genomics are stimulants for a fast-track translation from laboratory bench into clinical practice and help bust the interest in Personalized Medicine. Similar trends in diagnostics and informatic approaches can be observed in Dentistry especially in Periodontology to predict individual host response or risk of disease. This presentation aims to provide an in-depth review on established links between systemic diseases and oral health. Specifically, current progress in developing risk assessment tools to identify various patient populations with different predicted response or risk of periodontal/peri-implant diseases will be discussed.
Learning objectives
- Define personalized (precision) medicine and current implications in medicine.
- Describe established links between systemic diseases and oral health and, discuss related evidence.
- Explore recent developments in diagnostics and informatics and, their possible implications in dental practice.
