The for- mats include live mucogingival and bone re- interactive sessions, generation surgeries, nightmare sessions illustrating worst-case treatment scenarios, video sessions, debates, interviews and symposia. Particular attention will be devoted to the EFP clinical guidelines on the treatment of periodontitis. Additionally, the latest guideline on the treatment of Stage IV periodontitis will be presented at the congress. “The scientific programme addresses the interests of every member of the dental com- munity and provides them with an updated snapshot of what perio is today,” explained Prof. David Herrera, scientific chair of Euro- Perio10, in a press release. “We have a great faculty, complete and diverse, addressing the main challenges of our profession with the most engaging session formats.” In addition to the regular programme, EuroPerio10 offers participants the opportunity to attend sponsored workshops and networking events, such as the welcome reception on Wednesday evening. Other highlights of the congress include abstract presentations, con- tests, award ceremonies, a major industry exhi- bition and the EFP Village as the meeting point for the dozens of national societies that consti- tute the EFP. “EuroPerio is the main event organised by the EFP and appeals to a large, global audi- ence,” said Prof. Lior Shapira, past president of the EFP. The latest editions—EuroPerio8 in London in the UK in 2015 and EuroPerio9 in Amsterdam in the Netherlands in 2028—each The Bella Center Copenhagen is Scandinavia’s largest multifunctional event venue. attracted around 10,000 attendees from more than 100 countries.

Prof. Lior Shapira, past president of the European Federation of Periodontology. EuroPerio10, said in an interview: “The reason why participant numbers have increased over the years is simply because it is the world’s lead- ing congress in periodontics and implant den- tistry and has the best speakers, the latest top- ics and many opportunities to network with col- leagues from all over the world.” In response to being asked what dental pro- fessionals can look forward to at the congress, he replied: “They will be able to learn from the best experts in the world, since there is a faculty of more than 120 top international speakers. They can update and expand their skills and their knowledge with authoritative, state-of-the- art presentations on all hot periodontics topics.” He continued: “They can choose from a huge variety of topics and approaches and en- joy the certainty that, at any given moment, there will be a session that is just perfect for them. They can network, build relationships with colleagues, discuss ideas, draw up projects and find the latest proposals from the dental in- dustry. They can enjoy a lively congress in a lovely city. All in all, for four days, they can see what periodontics and implant dentistry will look like in the coming years.” The EFP was founded in 1991 and is an um- brella organisation of 30 national scientific soci- eties devoted to promoting research, education and awareness of periodontal science and prac- tice. page 1 “We aim to inspire …” tions, discussions and hands-on workshops at our booth, E20. For the hands-on workshops, we have created an environment of close interaction and exchange by keeping the number of participants small, only allowing up to six clinicians at a time. Dr Gerhard Iglhaut (Germany), Prof. Anton Sculean (Switzer- land), Dr Andres Pascual (Spain) and Dr Maria Geisinger (US) are leading the programme. Key top- ics include soft-tissue management in guided bone regeneration, around implants and in root coverage applying NovoMatrix, a novel acellular dermal ma- trix, as well as BioHorizons Camlog’s comprehen- sive portfolio of dental implants and biologics. We are also offering the Expert Challenge with a hands-on competition and live knowledge quiz that will provide a wonderful opportunity for participation, exchange, networking and fun. EuroPerio10 is one of the first larger internatio - nal shows to take place since the COVID-19 pandemic began. What’s the significance of EuroPerio for your company, and what are you personally looking forward to? The EuroPerio meetings have always been very important for sharing the latest scientific results, offering education and receiving feed- back from the dental community on our product portfolio and innovations. We look forward to a vibrant and lively meeting and exchange with dental professionals. Personally, I am excited to meet with many friends from the industry and teammates from our global team whom I have not seen in person for quite a while. This year, BioHorizons Camlog is presenting the Global Education Tour. Three events already took place in Egypt, Ecuador and Hungary in March and April. How were these events re- ceived by participants, and what are some of the other highlights that dental professionals can look forward to this year? What are some of BioHorizons Camlog’s future aspirations? What will your company be focus- ing on in the near future? So far, the feedback from the partici - pants was excellent. The motto of the 2022 BioHorizons Camlog Global Education Tour is “a passport to successful outcomes through ad- vanced implant therapy”. Together with our dis- tribution partners, we are proud to host these events to provide top education locally. Events in Athens, Bogota and Mexico City will follow throughout the year. In addition, we are very proud to be the founding sponsor of the Oral Reconstruction Foundation. We just held an international symposium in Orlando in Florida in the US, and the foundation will be hosting a three-day international symposium, including a dental technicians’ day, in Munich in Germany this October. We will continue to concentrate on excel- lence in oral reconstruction through our focus on quality, satisfaction and support and by cre- ating added value and innovations for our cus- tomers around the world. Our team plays a cen- tral role in achieving this. We are proud and thankful to have such excellent and loyal team members and partners in many parts of the world. That is why investing in our team and continuing to build strong relationships—with industry partners and customers—will remain a strong part of our focus.

“I am looking forward to the best EuroPerio ever” An interview with Prof. Phoebus Madianos, chair of EuroPerio10 interview © Image: EFP Ahead of this year’s EuroPerio congress in Copenhagen, Dental Tribune International spoke with Prof. Phoebus Madianos, professor in the Department of Periodontics at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in Greece and chair of EuroPerio10, about the return of the record-breaking event and what attendees can expect. Prof. Madianos, last year, the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) celebrated the 30th anniversary of its foundation. In your opinion, what have been the greatest achievements and mile- stones of the society? The EFP’s greatest achievement has been becoming the global benchmark community in periodontics and implant dentistry from a scientific point of view. It is the world’s leading platform for key stakeholders, not only periodontal scientists and clinicians but also dentists, researchers, policymakers, practices, companies, and other dental and health professionals. Primarily, we achieved this not only through our continuous leadership and the prestige of our meetings—the EuroPerio con- gresses, in particular—but also through our publications, campaigns and outreach activities. Today, opinion leaders in the field of perio- dontal health and disease from around the globe draw on the EFP’s expertise. Aside from EuroPerio, over the last 30 years the EFP has had several other major milestones. These were the success of its Perio Workshops (organised since 1993) and accredited postgraduate pro- grammes in periodontics (initiated in 1998), the creation of our web- site and the founding in 2014 of the Perio Master Clinic triennial conference for clinicians. In addition, the EFP’s annual awareness event, Gum Health Day, was started in 2014, and we launched out- reach campaigns in 2017, the first of which being the Oral Health and Pregnancy campaign. Regarding EuroPerio, one of the landmark events was EuroPerio1 in Paris in 1994, when 1,200 attendees made the congress a remark- able success and paved the way for future editions. EuroPerio7 was held in Vienna in 2012, and it set new standards in terms of format, professionalism and quality. EuroPerio9 was held in Amsterdam in 2018, and the threshold of 10,000 participants was passed for the first time. Owing to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the EFP decided in 2020 to postpone EuroPerio10 by one year and, consequently, the perio- dontics community has had to wait four years instead of three to come together. In retrospect, was this the right decision? When the pandemic hit Europe in March 2020, we were glad that we had another year until the next instalment of EuroPerio. As the pandemic progressed, it became clear that it would have a much greater impact than originally expected. Therefore, the EuroPerio10 organising committee, together with the EFP, took the decision to postpone the congress by one year. As a result, future EuroPerio congresses will also be held a year later than originally planned. We are convinced that this was the right decision, and we are confident that we will be able to hold the meeting that we all hope for in June 2022. Hence, EuroPerio, the “Olympic games” of dental congresses, will take place four years after the last one, just like the Olympics! The past two years must have been a challenge for scientific com- munities like the EFP. How did collaboration change as the COVID-19 crisis raged on? The pandemic drastically reduced the number and frequency of patient visits to dental clinics. Fear of infection and often misinformation prevented many people from keeping up with treat- ments. The EFP felt that it was appropriate to provide its affiliated societies and the 16,000 oral healthcare professionals it represents with a COVID-19 safety protocol in order to help them operate safely. In addition, we launched a campaign to encourage people to visit their dentist and to continue to take care of their oral health. Personal interaction and networking are very much relied upon within the scientific community and in the area of education. These have only been possible throughout the past two years by changing our concepts of interaction and moving towards virtual communi- cation and education rather than the in-person exchange of knowl- edge. Prof. Phoebus Madianos. was excited about educational content. At the same time, periodon- tics professionals all over the world faced a lack of in-person educa- tional opportunities. We wanted to continue promoting the June 2022 event by looking back at previous editions of the congress as well as highlighting various topics on the already published EuroPerio10 scientific programme; in other words, we helped to pro- mote the event by sharing scientific education. A second aim of the virtual EuroPerio Series was to extend the reach of EFP education to an audience who had not previously attended EFP meetings. We started with a free kick-off event in June 2021, and this was hosted at the Bella Center, the venue in Copenhagen where EuroPerio10 had been due to take place. This event, titled “Mucogin- gival surgery—from Amsterdam to Copenhagen”, used the legend- ary live surgery from EuroPerio9 in Amsterdam as a springboard to review and discuss a series of clinical problems with a renowned panel of experts in mucogingival surgery. This online event was at- tended by more than 2,000 participants from all over the world, and we continued with monthly sessions that were accessible free of charge to everyone who had already registered for EuroPerio10. Feedback on these sessions has been positive, but we know that, whereas virtual education is a suitable substitute, it will never replace in-person get-togethers. EuroPerio9 attracted a record-breaking 10,232 periodontists, den- tists, dental students, and dental hygienists, as well as other dental professionals, making it the largest event so far. Do you expect a similar number of participants this year? EuroPerio is all about quality not quantity. The reason why par- ticipant numbers have increased over the years is simply because it is the world’s leading congress in periodontics and implant den- tistry and has the best speakers, the latest topics and many oppor- tunities to network with colleagues from all over the world. As already mentioned, our greatest aim is to make the congress as accessible as possible to anyone in the periodontics world. To what extent interested participants will still face travel restrictions or similar challenges in June is something that we cannot foresee. We have never faced a situation like this pandemic, and therefore, it is also difficult to project what would be a realistic attendance for this year’s edition. Nonetheless, we are aiming for the best EuroPerio ever and, if we get close to the record attendance that we had in Amsterdam in 2018, we will be extremely happy. In June 2021, the EFP launched a series of online scientific ses- sions that aimed to bridge the gap until the next in-person event in 2022. How has the EuroPerio Series been received and have these online sessions proved to be a viable alternative to in-person events? Rather than putting everything on hold and continuing with it all a year later, immediately after the postponement we discussed ways in which we could maintain excitement and continue to pro- mote our activities. We knew the global periodontics community How can dental professionals benefit from attending EuroPerio10? They will be able to learn from the best experts in the world since there is a faculty of more than 120 top international speakers. They can update and expand their skills and their knowledge with authoritative, state-of-the-art presentations on all hot periodontics topics. They can choose from a huge variety of topics and ap- proaches and enjoy the certainty that, at any given moment, there will be a session that is just perfect for them. They can network, build relationships with colleagues, discuss ideas, draw up projects 4 15 and 16 June 2022 “EuroPerio, the ‘Olympic games’ of dental congresses, will take place four years after the last one, just like the Olympics!” and find the latest proposals from the dental industry. They can en- joy a lively congress in a lovely city. All in all, for four days, they can see what periodontics and implant dentistry will look like in the coming years. As social distancing rules are still in place, what will networking opportunities look like? We will—for all aspects of the event—apply all hygiene and safety measures that are reasonable and responsible at the time of the meeting. We are planning networking opportunities, such as a welcome reception and speakers’ dinner for the Wednesday and the official congress evening event for the Saturday. However, we have not yet planned a congress party for the Thursday. This casual after- work party event was introduced at EuroPerio8 in London in 2015, and at the Amsterdam event in 2018, it attracted 2,500 participants. Currently, we do not feel that events like that should take place, but we will make sure that our participants have ample networking op- portunities. In line with the EFP Sustainability Manifesto, the EFP has an- nounced that this year’s EuroPerio will be more sustainable. Could you please explain what that means? At the EFP, we understand sustainability not only as an environ- mental issue but also as a broader challenge to the ways in which we operate and think. It is one of our priorities. Often, mod- est changes have a big positive impact and help make a difference. For EuroPerio10, we aim to reduce printed congress materials by 50 %. When they are indispensable, printed materials will be made from recycled paper. The lanyards that we will use will be made only from recycled polyethylene terephthalate. Moreover, EuroPerio10 attendees will receive public transportation tickets as part of their registration package and all speakers who must reach Copenhagen by plane will carbon compensate their flights. What are you are personally most looking forward to? Personally, I am looking forward to the best EuroPerio ever, which will have the best in science, clinical practice and innovation. Also, coming together with colleagues and friends after such a long while is something that will be a highlight for me, as will be enjoy- ing the atmosphere and having fun in and around the Bella Center in Copenhagen!

Clinicians discuss their nightmare cases at EuroPerio10 news Typically, dental congresses provide an ideal platform for speakers to present and discuss some of their most notable achievements in clin- ical practice. Though these cases will be abun- dant at EuroPerio10, one of the most intriguing elements of the event’s scientifi c programme will be the two “nightmare sessions”, in which experienced practitioners will detail treatments that failed to go according to plan—and how they reacted to these situations. On Thursday, 16 June, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Dr Adriàn Guerrero will chair a dis- cussion titled “Nightmare session—dental im- plants”. Prof. Øystein Fardal, Dr Tiernan O’Brien and Dr Luca Landi will reveal some of the cases that, for one reason or another, had an outcome vastly different from what was expected. Dr O’Brien, for example, will focus on two spe- cifi c cases that, in his words, “turned into night- mares for me and my patient”. In the fi rst case, a mistake at the beginning of treatment created a problem that continues to persist for the pa- tient 17 years later. In the second case, evi- dence-based treatment was provided in the cor- rect way but, nonetheless, did not work and ended up giving the patient a compromised fi - nal result. “The nightmare session is really there to act as a counterbalance to all the other talks that will focus on the very positive results that can be achieved in contemporary periodontal prac- tice,” said Dr O’Brien. “Our session is to remind people that not everything works out as planned in every case. In fact, we have been asked not just to present cases that have not been successful, but cases Sessions highlight situations where everything went wrong © Matej Kastelic/Shutterstock.com that went very wrong and turned into a night- mare in one way or another,” he added. The perils of periodontology On Friday, 17 June, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., EFP past president Prof. Lior Shapira will chair the event “Nightmare session—perio- dontal therapy”, and Prof. Moshe Goldstein, Dr Pierpaolo Cortellini and Dr Giulio Rasperini have all gamely opted to participate and share some of the mistakes they have witnessed in the course of their careers. In the session, Dr Cortellini will discuss managing complications in regenerative ther- apy and how certain treatment strategies and techniques have been modifi ed to achieve more predictable results. He will analyse surgeries that were not conducted correctly, the compro- mised outcomes that resulted and the possible solutions for these cases. These will be com- pared with cases in which regenerative therapy was performed without error. Prof. Goldstein will elaborate on the poten- tial complications and technique-sensitive na- ture of mucogingival surgery while providing several case studies to illustrate what exactly can go wrong when conducting this kind of treatment. Dr Rasperini, meanwhile, will clarify what, exactly, papilla reconstruction entails. As one of the inventors of this treatment modality, he is ideally positioned to explain the reasons behind papilla loss and explore the mistakes made in certain cases where this occurred. According to Prof. Shapira, this second ses- sion “aims to show that expert periodontists and key opinion leaders may have problems during the healing following periodontal sur- gery”. He added: “The biological and technical rea- sons for the failure need to be analysed, under- stood, and lead to modifi cations in the tech- niques. We can all benefi t from the learning process and need to follow the words of Albert Einstein: ‘The only sure way to avoid making mistakes is to have no new ideas.’” Sustainability: A central focus of EuroPerio10 © d.ee_angelo/Shutterstock.com EFP looks to make event more ecologically friendly Though it has often been framed as just a trend or an environmental issue, sustainability is undeniably much more than that. It requires businesses and industries across the world to adapt their practices so that we can ensure that a liveable planet will be maintained for future generations. In recognition of this challenge, the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) has made sustainability a key part of its mission and even developed a sustainability manifesto in 2021. Here are some of the ways in which sus- tainability will underpin the EuroPerio10 con- gress. “At the EFP, we understand sustainability not only as an environmental issue but also as a broader challenge to the ways in which we op- erate and think,” Prof. Phoebus Madianos, chair of EuroPerio10, told Dental Tribune International in April. He noted that the event organisers were aiming to half the total amount of printed materials, would be using recycled paper for all printouts and were encouraging digital alterna- tives. Implementing sustainable and ecological measures The sustainability goals of EuroPerio10 broadly include reducing printed materials, de- creasing the carbon footprint of event partici- pants and encouraging all involved to reduce waste and recycle when possible. The lanyards being used are made entirely from recycled PET, and many congress signs will be made from eas- ily recycled cardboard. All EuroPerio10 attend- ees will receive public transportation tickets as 6 15 and 16 June 2022 part of their registration package, and all speak- ers who need to take a plane to reach Copenha- gen will have the carbon emissions of their fl ights offset. In addition, the food options on offer at EuroPerio10 are being sourced as locally as possi- ble. One of the most sustainable cities in the world, Copenhagen has set the goal of becoming carbon- neutral by 2025 and has plenty of world-class res- taurants that practise a sustainable and organic approach to food sourcing and production. The need for sustainability The current lifestyle and resource consump- tion practices of humankind are unsustainable in the long term, and professional congresses tend to be particularly wasteful. According to the EFP, an average conference attendee pro- duces more than 2 kg of waste per day, and the typical event wastes 15 %–20 % of the total food it produces. Many disposable elements—water bottles, brochures, lanyards and the like—are of- ten made from plastic or paper and might not be recycled properly even if that is a possibility. To make EuroPerio10 as sustainable as it can be, the EFP has asked that attendees make certain small changes—together, these can have a large impact. Instead of printing tickets, at- tendees will use the ticket confi rmation barcode emailed to them to print out a name badge upon arrival. Congress participants are being encour- aged to stay in an eco-friendly hotel in Copenha- gen and to travel via public transport, bicycle or electric taxi. For those who need something in which to stash their congress materials and goodies, the EFP has launched a line of sustainable EuroPerio10 backpacks made out of recycled fi bres. These styl- ish bags can be purchased at the event. Overall, the success of these initiatives at EuroPerio10 will rest largely on buy-in and sup- port from attendees. For this reason, the EFP has asked for the hashtag #EFPlanet to be used on social media so that this message of sustainabil- ity can be communicated far and wide.

New president inaugurated at EFP’s annual general assembly European Federation of Periodontology affirms its commitment to support Ukraine news On 26 March, the European Feder- ation of Periodontology (EFP) was able to hold an in-person meeting for the first time since 2019. The EFP’s annual general assembly took place in the Austrian capital of Vienna, where a new president, Prof. Andreas Stavropoulos, was welcomed and a campaign launched to provide finan- cial aid for Ukraine. The “Help Ukraine” campaign is planning to assist the Ukrainian peo- ple and refugees who have fled the country by calling on the EFP’s 37 af- filiated national societies of periodon- tics to raise at least € 30,000 in dona- tions. The campaign was organised in collaboration with the World Health Organization-affiliated WHO Founda- tion, which works to deliver urgent healthcare to the most vulnerable groups. “For the EFP, a European aca- demic organisation within health and medicine, it was a reasonable reac- tion to support fellow Europeans in need,” stated Prof. Stavropoulos. “Our donation campaign is a humanitarian action,” he added.

In his first message since assuming the role, Prof. Stavropoulos called for the so ciety’s members to work together despite any differences, writing, “What we have in common is much greater than what separates us.” “We should not let minor differ- ences and special interests divide us — we should stay united and continue jointly working for the pan-European recognition of periodontology as a dental speciality, for the benefit of pa- tients,” he continued. Prof. Stavropoulos also made special note of t he upcoming EuroPerio10, labelling it “the global congress of periodontology par excel- lence”. The triennial congress will be held at the Bella Center in Copen- hagen in Denmark, the president’s home country. First held in Paris in 1994, EuroPerio is one of the most © EFP Prof. Andreas Stavropoulos. important and largest educational events for dental professionals spe- cialising in periodontics and implant dentistry. The previous iteration, held in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, at- tracted a record-breaking 10,232 at- tendees from 111 countries in total. According to the EFP, more than 6,000 people have already registered for EuroPerio10. The general consensus among at- tendees of the EFP’s general assem- bly was that an in-person meeting was much needed after the predomi- nantly online nature of meetings over the past two years. “I am so pleased that this year we returned to a face-to-face GA [general assembly] meeting and could greet everyone in person,” said EFP Secre- tary General Prof. Nicola West. She continued: “While online meetings have their place in our sus- tainability strategy, face-to-face meet- ings are essential for our business to operate, creating energy, warmth and friendship, which cannot be underes- timated.” “When I became EFP president, my wish was that my year would be a ‘return to normal’ and, despite the difficulties, I insisted on having an in-person general assembly, which was more than successful!” added Prof. Shapira.

Vaping’s unique connection to periodontal disease Data suggests e-cigarette use promotes unique periodontal microbiome news Smoking tobacco has long been known to be detrimental to oral health, but the risks of newer simulations of smoking such as vaping are less well-known though they are often be- lieved to be healthier alternatives. Now, re- searchers from the New York University (NYU) College of Dentistry have completed the first study on the oral health of users of e-cigarettes. They found that vaping created a unique perio- dontal microbiome, compared with that of non-smokers and conventional cigarette smok- ers, and that participants who vaped experi- enced a worsened state of periodontal disease at the end of the study. The study compared the bacterial composi- tion and cytokine concentrations of the subgin- gival plaque in conventional cigarette smokers, e-cigarette users and non-smokers over the course of six months. The participants in all groups exhibited some evidence of periodontal disease at baseline. In the e-cigarette users, the detected cy- tokine levels indicated inflammation, but some cytokines were at lower levels than expected. The researchers believe this was possibly due to the strains of bacteria present in those who vaped but not present in those who smoked or who had never smoked. The researchers hy- pothesised that it was possible that these bacte- ria were actively supressing the immune reac- tions that would normally have been expected. Co-author of the study Fangxi Xu, a junior research scientist at NYU, said in a press release: “Vaping appears to be driving unique patterns in bacteria and influencing the growth of some AD © Rommel Canlas/Shutterstock.com The first longitudinal study on vaping has shown that e-cigarettes have deleterious effects on periodontal health. bacteria in a manner akin to cigarette smoking, but with its own profile and risks to oral health.” Even worse was the finding that clinical at- tachment loss after six months was significantly worse in the e-cigarette smokers. This was meas- ured in the same groups of participants but in a separate, earlier study, titled “Comparative ef- fects of e-cigarette aerosol on periodontium of periodontitis patients”, which was published on- line in September 2021 in Frontiers of Oral Health. Lead author of the most recent study Dr Scott Thomas, an assistant research scientist at NYU, said of the findings: “E-cigarette use is a relatively new human habit. Unlike smoking, which has been studied extensively for decades, we know little about the health consequences of e-cigarette use and are just starting to under- stand how the unique microbiome promoted by vaping impacts oral health and disease.” More long-term research is needed for den- tists to feel comfortable offering counsel to their patients regarding e-cigarette use. E-cigarettes and alternative tobacco products fall under the umbrella of what some call tobacco harm reduc- tion. Dental Tribune International reported that a survey of German dentists by the German sub- sidiary of Philip Morris International (PMG), a cigarette company moving towards smoke-free products, found that 58% of the respondents did not feel informed on the subject of tobacco harm reduction and that 69% were not aware of the concept. Dr Charilaos Avrabos, then PMG’s manager of scientific and medical affairs, claimed in a 2018 press briefing regarding the survey that “it is clear that e-cigarettes are not risk-free prod- ucts; neither are tobacco heating devices. For non-smokers, these are not products that offer any benefits. For smokers, who use the most damaging form of nicotine delivery continually over a period of years, switching to these prod- ucts can make a huge difference by reducing the amount of harmful substance.” However, PMG’s claims seem to be contra- dicted by the findings of the NYU research and the results of a 2020 study on vaping’s effect on periodontal health. Senior author of that study Dr Purnima Kumar, professor of perio- dontics at Ohio State University, said: “If you stop smoking and start vaping instead, you don’t move back toward a healthy bacterial pro- file but shift up to the vaping profile. Knowing the vaping profile is pathogen-rich, you’re not doing yourself any favours by using vaping to quit smoking.” The recent study, titled “Electronic cigarette use promotes a unique periodontal microbi- ome”, was published in the February 2022 issue of mBio.

A modern, unmatched and compelling clinical protocol for prophylaxis news Dr Neha Dixit discusses Guided Biofilm Therapy © EMS Petersilka et al. said: “If a new form of ther- apy is to be con sidered worth integrating into standard periodontal therapy, it either has to be superior in therapy outcome or has to show other relevant advantageous aspects such as pa- tient preference or operator convenience or economy of time or other resources.”1 Focusing on oral hygiene, which forms the gateway to maintaining good oral and systemic health, is the need of the moment. The Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) protocol represents and follows the recommendations of the European Federation of Periodontology, stating that to have a successful treatment outcome, profes- sional prophylaxis must be complemented by equally good oral hygiene at home. GBT is part of a comprehensive preventive concept that aims not only to preserve patients’ oral health but also to improve patient compli- ance and subsequent recall attendance. It is a modular, systematic, predictable and logical solution for oral biofilm management in proph- ylaxis using state-of-the-art technologies such as AIRFLOW MAX, PERIOFLOW with AIRFLOW PLUS powder and PIEZON. The GBT protocol, which is supported by sci- entific evidence, was developed in 2016 by EMS, together with academics, researchers and clini- cians across the globe, to overcome all the chal- lenges related to prophylaxis that exist today. The protocol can be adapted to every clinical sit- uation in the dental practice, from prevention of early caries and periodontal disease to mainte- nance and, in many cases, treatment of periodon- titis and mucositis. This protocol can be applied to all patients in supportive periodontal therapy AD Guided Biofilm Therapy treatment. and forms the basis of treatment for patients in initial, non-surgical, periodontal therapy. GBT involves eight steps that can be modi- fied depending on the clinical situation. The aim of this protocol is to be minimally invasive, pre- serve hard and soft tissue, and meet patient ex- REGISTER FOR FREE DT Study Club – e-learning community THE GLOBAL DENTAL CE COMMUNITY THE GLOBAL DENTAL CE COMMUNIT Y THE GLOBAL DENTAL CE COMMUNIT Y THE GLOBAL DENTAL CE COMMUNIT Y THE GLOBAL DENTAL CE COMMUNIT Y Dentistry's largest online education community webinars / live operations / online CE events / CE credits www.dtstudyclub.com @DTStudyClub Tribune Group is an ADA CERP Recognized Provider.

Like any innovation that comes into being in this day and age, when recommenda- tions on correct usage are followed, this protocol has been proved to be highly efficacious, safe and comfortable, not only for the clinician but also for the patient. Following the patient thorough periodontal screening and recording of the results and us- ing a disclosing agent to visualise biofilm not only guides the patient towards pursuing better oral hygiene but also aids the clinician in achieving more efficient, predictable supragin- gival biofilm removal. Disclosing the biofilm also enables the clinician to build trust and con- fidence with the patient, since it assures quality clinical outcomes. Additionally, it improves pa- tient motivation and helps re-educate patients on efficacious tooth cleaning, especially in areas in the mouth that are often neglected or are dif- ficult to access. Using the AIRFLOW technology with the Guided Laminar AIRFLOW MAX in probing depths up to 4 mm and the PERIOFLOW nozzle in deep pockets up to 9 mm with erythritol- based PLUS powder removes all supragingival and subgingival biofilm in the most minimally invasive and highly comfortable way. This helps to visualise all the supragingival calculus easily, avoiding over-instrumentation. The erythritol-based PLUS powder is a unique, versatile solution that removes all s upragingival and subgingival biofilm in only one step. It contains particles of approximately 14 μm, causes the patient no discomfort and preserves the natural integrity of teeth, dental implants, restorations, orthodontic appliances and prostheses. If any hard calculus remains, use is made of piezoceramic ultrasonic technology by employ- ing the PIEZON NO PAIN PS instrument. This high-quality, Swiss-made instrument, designed like a periodontal probe, is not only efficient su- pragingivally but also removes all stubborn cal- culus up to 10 mm subgingivally. A clean oral cavity without stains, biofilm or calculus sup- ports clinicians in better visualising and check- ing for any caries, white spot lesions and furca- tions in a much more predictable way. Enrolling patients in a regular recall system is highly dependent on their personal experi- ence during treatment. Today, GBT has over 100,000 testimonials from satisfied patients across the globe. To conclude, Petersilka et al.’s assertion on the need for a superior therapy protocol that of- fers a number of advantages, including patient preference and operator convenience in relation to time management, is fulfilled through GBT, which has been integrated by GBT-certified practices globally. EMS will be hosting a symposium at EuroPerio, at which Prof. Tord Berglundh from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, Prof. Patrick Schmidlin from the University of Zurich in Switzerland and Prof. Axel Spahr from the Uni- versity of Sydney will talk about their personal experiences and present scientific evidence related to the GBT proto- col. The symposium will take place on 16 June at 10:00. in Auditorium 15. EuroPerio attendees can find out more about GBT at the EMS Booth E.16. Reference 1 Petersilka G, et al.

Straumann to host corporate forum at EuroPerio10 Clinical decisions for immediate treatment protocols news The clinical management of peri-implant tis- sue around immediate implants is crucial in modern implant dentistry, as it can substan- tially infl uence the treatment outcomes, espe- cially in the aesthetic zone. Under the title “Clin- ical decisions for immediate treatment proto- cols”, Straumann will be hosting a corporate fo- rum at EuroPerio10 that will comprehensively discuss the advantages of immediate treatment protocols in various clinical indications, empha- sising effective soft-tissue management. Prof. Ronald Jung, president-elect of the European Association for Osseointegration, and Dr Helena Francisco, an assistant professor at the Faculty of Dental Medicine at the University of Lisbon in Portugal, will be discussing the ad- vantages of immediate treatment protocols in various clinical indications, placing special em- phasis on effective soft- tissue management. From single-tooth to full-arch restorations, participants will be able to see the different clinical applica- tions of Straumann im- plants, particular atten- tion being given to the management and mainte- nance of the peri-implant tissue. The forum will be chaired by Prof. Frank Schwarz, head of the department of oral sur- gery and implantology at Goethe University in Frankfurt in Germany. Free lunchboxes will be available while stocks last. How can remote monitoring lead to better treatment outcomes? A prevailing myth in healthcare is that the expertise of practitioners is only accessible on- site. The reality is becoming quite different to- day. With the onset of technological advances and a desire for convenience from all parties, remote monitoring is becoming more and more widespread across medical fi elds. It is trans- forming the oral care industry too. And the fi ndings are interesting: remote monitoring is leading to better treatment out- comes for patients in dentistry and ortho- dontics. Why is this the case? With smart solu- tions like those offered by DentalMonitoring, practices can provide high-quality treatment powered by artifi cial intelligence (AI) for com- prehensive scans, consistent monitoring, auto- mated reports and a new level of communica- tion between dentists and patients. The difference we are seeing here is a major breakthrough in oral care: remote monitoring is ushering in an era of proactive treatment plans instead of reactive troubleshooting. Dentists can manage patient treatment with a new level © DentalMonitoring DentalMonitoring solutions now available in all Nordic dental markets of control, rather than simply respond to oral observations after a time lag. The high-precision scans offered by remote monitoring open the door to more productive treatment. DentalMonitoring’s technology can locate, calculate and evaluate 130 different intra- oral observations, monitoring everything from aligner tracking to bracket debonding or tooth eruption. This is made possible by the largest image database in the industry, comprising 1.5 billion dental images. With a level of detec- tion surpassing the range of the human eye, the scans allow for a better look inside patients’ mouths—and with it, higher-quality treatment. These scans go beyond simple photographs: they provide a quality standard for the industry. A crucial aspect of remote monitoring’s suc- cess is its consistency. Imagine the traditional model. A dentist instructs a patient to follow an aligner treatment plan, or perhaps a fi xed appli- ance patient is told by his or her dentist to begin the elastics phase of treatment. They reconvene six to eight weeks later at the practice and fi nd that little progress has been made. Was non- compliance the culprit? Is there another prob- lem at play? With DentalMonitoring, practition- ers can eliminate the mystery of what happens in between in-offi ce appointments. The software takes dentists out of the dark, giving added access and control over treatment progression. Remote monitoring allows for early signs of non-compliance or any other abnormalities to be detected and swiftly responded to without waiting weeks for the next in-person appoint- ment. Consistent monitoring combines with the AI- powered automated reports to completely stream- line the process. Not only do DentalMonitoring solutions consistently monitor patients with high precision, but their automated reports facilitate a fast resolution. Instead of leaving dentists to do their own self-assessment of patient scans— which could be a time-consuming and involved process for staff—with automation, notifi cations are sent straight to the patient and the staff once a deviation in treatment is detected by the AI. Remote monitoring helps dentists, but it is also the solution patients are looking for. It can attract a wider range of patients. The digital transformation is here, and the practices that give more virtual options to patients will see greater demand for their services. The ability to have an appointment anytime and anywhere is an attractive proposition for patients and can even boost motivation to stay on top of treat- ment. Behind the best oral care is a strong part- nership between practitioners and patients. In that partnership, communication is stream- lined, compliance is encouraged, and both par- ties are on the same page. In a victory for den- tists and patients, technology has evolved to al- low for an even more connected experience. With the advent of remote monitoring, treat- ment outcomes are only improving. DentalMonitoring is debunking the myth that virtual care cannot have a personal touch. Its suite of remote monitoring solutions is de- signed to decrease chair time, increase compli- ance and allow for more precise and personal- ised care. According to Dr Francis Scriven, one of the leading orthodontists in the UK, the com- pany’s solutions have added value to his prac- tice and provided clinical benefi ts. He said: “DentalMonitoring allows us to monitor our pa- tients’ treatments on a weekly basis rather than every few months. This new approach of man- aging my treatments vastly improves the clini- cal outcome and the effi ciency by detecting is- sues early while greatly enhancing the patient experience.” “DentalMonitoring has made orthodontics more convenient for our patients while boosting my practice effi ciency,” Dr Scriven added. To learn more about how remote monitoring has changed the way that orthodontic practices work today, Dr Scriven will be hosting a live webinar titled “From blind to connected ortho- dontics—how to gain more clinical control of your orthodontic treatments with DentalMoni- toring” on 21 June at 7 p.m. CEST.

Clinical research provides new perspective on management of dental biofilm Johnson & Johnson hosts symposium on the role of essential oil mouthrinse as part of modern biofilm management at EuroPerio10 news Consumer healthcare products specialist Johnson & Johnson is set to unveil new research at EuroPerio10. This research compares the effi- cacy for inhibiting the establishment of dental biofilm of its essential oil mouthrinse and brush- ing with that of brushing and flossing alone and also compares the efficacy of the mouthrinse with that of hygienist-performed flossing. In order to underpin the efficacy of the es- sential oil mouthwash, Johnson & Johnson sup- ported two studies, both of which evaluated the efficacy of various oral hygiene regimens in the prevention and reduction of plaque. The find- ings of the two studies will be presented at a dedicated 1-hour symposium on Thursday, 16 June, at EuroPerio10. The first study was led by Dr Jeffery L. Milleman, director for clinical operations and principal investigator at US-based clinical re- search team Salus Research, and investigated the clinical efficacy of supervised mouth rins- ing and flossing on plaque over a period of 12 weeks. The second study was led by Dr Kimberly R. Milleman, director, compliance specialist, or- ganoleptic judge and gold standard examiner for Salus Research. The study investigated the effects of essential oil mouthwash in oral hy- giene regimens. This study also covered a pe- riod of 12 weeks. In addition, Prof. Nicole Arweiler, director and chair of the department of periodontics and peri-implant diseases at the University of Mar- burg’s dental school and hospital in Germany, will discuss contemporary management of the oral microbiome and dental biofilm during the session. room Break Out 2. A product sample can be re- quested at Booth C2.12. EuroPerio10 attendees are invited to join the lunch seminar on 16 June between 12:30 and 13:30. The session will be held in seminar Editorial note: For details of the studies and references, please visit www.listerine.eu. These are the five key trends in digital dentistry in 2022 Dr Rune Fisker, senior vice president of product strategy at 3Shape, discusses this year’s trends 2022 is an exciting year for digital dentistry. Dentistry is accelerating at lightning speed and new technology and innovations are coming up left and right. Here is my take on what we can expect from digital innovations in dentistry. The dental platform race has begun Platforms are disrupting industries and changing the way we live. The practice manage- ment system will remain the cornerstone of the digital clinic. However, all major dental tech- nology companies are now offering or launch- ing platforms. Who is best positioned to gain the highest uptake? Intra-oral scanners will keep driving digitalisation The adaption of intra-oral scanners dramat- ically accelerated in 2021. This is continuing in 2022. Penetration is already reaching 30 %–35 % © 3Shape in the US and other mature markets. Future usage of intra-oral scanners will go far beyond a digital impression replacing an analogue im- pression. 3D printing and 3D-printed materials will continue to advance and expand in application 3D printers are the other hot item in the digital category. The true game-changer is 3D-printing materials, which are released every day and constantly being improved. Ma- terial development has advanced so dramati- cally that high-quality splints can be 3D-printed and such materials were already widely availa- ble in 2021. 2022 will most likely be the year that fully 3D-printed definitive dentures take off. This will certainly disrupt the removable dentures market. Ultimately, all indications have the potential to be 3D-printed. The ques- tion is to what extent 3D printing will be em- ployed in the clinic. Artificial intelligence is here 2021 was the year in which artificial intelli- gence (AI) finally made its mark on CAD/CAM. For example, 3Shape Automate, a dental design service that enables a scan to be uploaded to the cloud and a crown or night guard to be fully de- signed from the scan using AI, truly disrupted the market. The technology is making comput- ers and people smarter and faster across all ap- plications in digital dentistry, and there is defi- nitely going to be much more use of AI in 2022. Digital aligners and dentures are rapidly being adopted Driven by consumer demand for beauty, cosmetic dentistry and clear aligners will con- tinue to push digitalisation forward. Dentures used to be the missing indication in CAD/CAM. However, advanced by increased efficiency and other benefits that digital design and manufac- ture of dentures offer to clinics, CAD/CAM of dentures is now seeing triple-digit growth.

STRAUMANN TLX PROVIDES HIGH PRIMARY STABILITY FOR IMMEDIATE PLACEMENT PROTOCOLS industry Immediacy has become a major part of im- plant dentistry today. It affords several benefi ts for both patient and practitioner. In addition, it allows for exceptional clinical outcomes in less time than conventional techniques. However, to achieve the best possible re- sults, clinicians need the right products and tools. Straumann has long been at the forefront of cutting-edge solutions in the fi eld. Each prod- uct or service is refi ned and optimised. The company aims to help dentists overcome the challenges they face every day. Where tissue level meets immediacy Straumann TLX is the latest in a long line of clinically proven implant solutions. It is de- signed to mimic natural anatomy and respect the biological width in all dimensions for ideal soft-tissue conditioning and aesthetics. Based on the tried-and-tested principles of the Straumann BLX implant, TLX is manufac- tured from Roxolid material and features a SLActive surface. This winning combination preserves the natural structures, boosts vascu- larisation, enhances predictability with imme- diate protocols and reduces healing time in a wide range of clinical scenarios.1–4 Straumann TLX has been designed for op- timal primary stability in all bone classes, and this innovative new implant system supports conventional placement and loading proce- dures for greater fl exibility. It also utilises the same drill set and TorcFit connection as the BLX implant, which allows for a simplifi ed and more convenient workfl ow. What do dental professionals say about TLX? “Every single time using TLX, I am left amazed and surprised with the results. I am ex- periencing a soft-tissue response that I have never seen before. Following the same proto- cols as I always did, instead of good results, we now have excellent outcomes. The fundamen- tal enhancement is unbelievable tissue re- sponse, and in challenging areas the tissue for- giveness is superb. For this reason I just can’t stop using it. My full-arch and single-tooth ex- perience with TLX is very rewarding, not only for me but for our patients. Many times over the years with immediacy,I wished for a prod- uct like TLX.” — Dr Abid Faqir “The future in implant dentistry is with neck designs combining a smooth surface in the transmucosal area with a micro-rough sur- face inside the bone. As the Derks study showed, moving the micro-gap away from the bone and having a smooth surface in the peri-implant sulcus reduces the risk of peri-im- plant complications.5 TLX combines this con- cept with an innovative endosteal design, en- suring optimal primary stability, and will open a range of new clinical possibilities.” — Prof. Daniel Buser Editorial note: A list of references is available from the publisher. Institut Straumann, Switzerland www.straumann.com Booth E05 LESS CHX—NEW GENERATION OF MOUTHWASHES IS CHANGING THERAPY Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) is consid- ered the gold standard among oral antiseptics, but its use comes with a number of side effects. Consequently, there is growing demand for al- ternative formulations. One antiseptic mouth- wash seems to tick the box: Curaprox Perio plus regenerate. A study conducted by re- searchers at the University of Bern in Switzer- land has shown that Perio plus regenerate achieves a strong antibacterial effect with less CHX, thanks to a unique blend of additives. More than the sum of its parts CHX has been the go-to oral antiseptic for treating oral disease caused by biofi lm. How- ever, its use often results in tooth discoloration, taste disturbance and irritation of the oral mu- cosa. Its bactericidal effect can also disturb the symbiosis of oral microfl ora in higher doses or with prolonged use. In a new approach, Swiss oral health brand Curaprox has developed Perio plus regenerate. The percentage of CHX in this mouthwash has been limited to 0.09% in order to minimise side effects, and a number of addi- tional active substances boost its overall sub- stantivity and antibacterial activity. In an in vitro study, researchers from the University of Bern compared the effect of different mouthwash solutions, including Curaprox Perio plus regenerate, against 13 oral bacteria found in biofi lm associated with caries and periodontal disease. The researchers found that Perio plus regenerate’s formulation was active against all 13. With only 0.09 % CHX, Perio plus regenerate was able to signifi cantly reduce biofi lm formation. Interestingly, the mouthwash was able to slow down biofi lm for- mation better than were CHX mouthwashes with a higher percentage of CHX but without additives. A change in chemistry, a change in mentality The high effi cacy of Perio plus regenerate against biofi lm can only be explained by the synergy of its ingredients. Citrox, an organic biofl avonoid mix, reduces the viability of bio- fi lm and has a broad antibacterial effect. Xylitol inhibits biofi lm formation, and hyaluronic acid promotes wound healing and boasts anti- infl ammatory properties. Lastly, poly-L-lysine boosts the substantivity of all active com- pounds in the mouth. “In recent years, there has been growing concern about the impact of high doses of CHX on the oral microbiome,” Curaprox owner Ueli Breitschmid explained. For over 60 years, the Swiss brand has been unique in its mission to move dentistry away from restoration and to promote holistic oral health products and con- cepts. “Supplementing a lower dose of CHX with additives allows dental professionals to use a lower dose of CHX right away. Our goal is a mouthwash with the effect of a classic 0.2 % CHX mouthwash, only with fewer side ef- fects. Less CHX means less damage to the mi- crobiome and a healthy symbiosis of the oral microfl ora.” Brushing remains key All mouthwashes used in the study had a relatively low effect on already established per- iodontal biofi lm. According to the researchers, this confi rms the general guidelines that mouthwash treatment during periodontal ther- apy should always go hand in hand with scal- ing and root planing. Chemical therapy is an adjunct to mechanical biofi lm removal. In- structing patients on correct brushing with a manual brush and calibrated interdental brushes remains key. The study, titled “Anti-biofi lm activity of oral health-care products containing chlorhexidine digluconate and Citrox”, was published online on 12 February 2020 in Oral Medicine.
