Learn about cutting-edge advancements at the interface of periodontics and orthodontics in this year’s Future Horizons in Periodontology lecture. This year’s speakers will share the findings of research funded by the inaugural Richman Family Foundation Perio-Ortho Interface Grants when they were created in 2021 to advance collaboration at this critical intersection of dental specialties. Now part of the Levi-Richman Integration Initiative, the program is helping to connect periodontology with other dental and medical disciplines and champion periodontal health as the oral-systemic link. Dr. Guo-Hao (Alex) Lin’s research evaluated the impact of orthodontic alignment on keratinized tissue width, mid-facial recession, tissue phenotype, and interdental papilla dimensions, while Dr. Vrushali Abhyankar conducted a combined retrospective and prospective CBCT analysis of buccal bone dimensions with and without periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics in adult patients.
