Bridging Microbial Ecology and Clinical Research to Optimize Periodontal Treatment and Prevent Implant and Restorative Failures
Dec 02, 2025
Virtual
Details
Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory diseases worldwide, characterized by a profound imbalance (dysbiosis) of the oral microbiome that is difficult to reverse. This ecological shift significantly increases the risk of failure in implant therapy, orthodontic treatment, and other dental rehabilitative services. However, no efficient chairside test currently exists to assess oral microbial ecology, requiring clinicians to infer these imbalances from objective clinical parameters. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the ecological dynamics of the oral cavity is essential to ensuring the long-term success of any dental procedure.
This presentation will explore: (i) the ecological principles underlying periodontal and peri-implant health and disease, (ii) clinical and microbiological endpoints of treatments, (iii) the impact of different treatment strategies, including adjunctive systemic antibiotics, on restoring oral homeostasis, and (iv) the potential role of artificial intelligence in developing personalized treatment protocols. By bridging microbial ecology, clinical research, and AI-driven insights, this discussion aims to provide clear, evidence-based guidelines for managing periodontitis and improving the long-term success of dental treatments
Participants will learn:
- Understand the ecological shifts in the oral microbiome that underlie periodontal diseases, and how these changes influence outcomes of restorative and implant therapies.
- Evaluate the impact of various periodontal treatment strategies, including adjunctive systemic antibiotics, on clinical and microbiological endpoints and their effectiveness in restoring oral microbial balance.
- Explore the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in integrating microbial and clinical data to develop personalized, evidence-based treatment protocols aimed at improving long-term treatment success.
