Message from president of the international Academy of Periodontology September 2013

The IAP was founded in 1985 and since then has evolved into a significant contributor to global periodontics. Over the past 30 years we have seen many significant advances in periodontology that have led to improvements in our understanding of periodontitis and new approaches to periodontal therapy. A major function of the Academy is to assist in the dissemination of current understanding and concepts in periodontics, particularly in regions where periodontics is still a developing field.

Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Single-Tooth Dental Implants Placed in Grafted Extraction Sites: A One-Year Report
Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Single-Tooth Dental Implants Placed in Grafted Extraction Sites: A One-Year Report

Objective: The aim of this report was to clinically and radiographically evaluate changes to the hard and soft tissues around implants placed in extraction sockets grafted with medical grade calcium sulfate hemihydrate (MGCSH) mixed with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and a collagen resorbable plug after one year of function. Methods: This evaluation was part of a previous study conducted to evaluate extraction socket grafts. Fourteen subjects out of 16 were evaluated. After tooth extraction, eight...

Comparison of Amnion Allograft with Connective Tissue Graft for Root Coverage Procedures: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial
Comparison of Amnion Allograft with Connective Tissue Graft for Root Coverage Procedures: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial

Objective: The aim of the present double-blind, randomized, controlled study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of amnion allograft and connective tissue graft in covering denuded root surfaces.Methods: Seventy-one teeth in 22 patients with gingival recession were treated randomly with coronally displaced flap plus connective tissue graft (control group, n = 29 recessions in 10 patients) or coronally displaced flap plus amnion allograft (test group, n = 42 recessions in 12 patients)....
