Message from the President of the International Academy of Periodontology September 2015

My journey with the International Academy of Periodontology (IAP) started almost two decades ago when I was introduced to Dr. Thomas Van Dyke and immediately became a member of the association. I made my first visit to an IAP congress with a poster presentation in 1998 in Seoul, Korea. Since then, it has been a fascinating journey with the IAP.

Furcation Measurements: Realities and Limitations
Furcation Measurements: Realities and Limitations

Furcation involvement is a common sequela of severe chronic periodontal disease. Its effective management has a profound influence on the outcome of periodontal therapy. For the efficient clinical management of furcation defects, it is necessary to have a reliable diagnostic tool that can accurately measure and quantify the furcation defect. This article addresses the various diagnostic methods available and assesses their limitations. Further, it also highlights some new frontiers in the field...

Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of the Periodontium with Biologic Width Invasion by Overextending Restoration Margins - A Pilot Study
Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of the Periodontium with Biologic Width Invasion by Overextending Restoration Margins - A Pilot Study

Aim: The aim of this study was to correlate radiographic examination with the clinical periodontal condition in cases of biologic width invasion by overextending restoration margins in restored premolars and molars. Materials and methods: The present pilot study involved nine people (mean age 32 years) with biologic width invasion by 21 surfaces overextending restoration margins in restored premolars and molars. Radiographs were made in a standardized unit using the interproximal technique...

Systemic Chemotherapeutic Agents as Adjunctive Periodontal Therapy: A Narrative Review and Suggested Clinical Recommendations
Systemic Chemotherapeutic Agents as Adjunctive Periodontal Therapy: A Narrative Review and Suggested Clinical Recommendations

Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition of the periodontium that leads to destruction of the supporting structures of the tooth, including loss of attachment and alveolar bone. A clinician’s first line of treatment for periodontitis is traditionally mechanical periodontal therapy, including oral hygiene instructions together with scaling and root planing. However, it has been shown that mechanical therapy may not always be effective in halting disease. Adjunctive chemotherapeutics, such as...
