Evidence Based Periodontal Soft Tissue Regeneration
Dr. Leandro Chambrone, DDS, M.Sc, PhD
Watch a short preview of what to expect from this course:
Course Description:
Periodontal soft tissue regeneration has long been used for the treatment of gingival recession (GR) and soft tissue phenotype augmentation around natural teeth. During daily practice, clinicians are required to deal with diverse clinical scenarios and to provide the most adequate treatment options for each condition based on the best evidence available, the clinician’s skills and the patients’ desires.
Educational Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants are expected:
- To discuss the key aspects of the periodontal phenotype involved in the decision-making process of sites requiring soft tissue augmentation.
- To translate evidence-based findings to clinical practice, by presenting treatment approaches to the most common “clinical scenarios” related to gingival recession treatment and soft tissue phenotype modification around natural teeth.
- To identify the influence of the attached gingiva on the long-term stability of results achieved by reconstructive soft tissue procedures.
The course contains 2 hour of on-demand content.
Upon successful completion of the CE examination after viewing the on-demand content, you will be awarded 2 CE Credit.
Dr. Leandro Chambrone
Dr. Leandro Chambrone currently serves as an adjunct associate professor in the Department of Periodontics at Penn Dental Medicine. He holds extensive experience in didactic teaching and clinical training of predoctoral and postgraduate (MSc and PhD) students. His first exposure to teaching was during his postgraduate training (2007-2012), when Dr. Chambrone worked with predoctoral students as a clinical supervisor and lecturer. Upon completion of this training, he joined Guarulhos University as an assistant professor, where he was in charge of lecturing didactic classes and providing laboratorial and clinical training to predoctoral and postdoctoral students. He then went on to join the MSc Dentistry Program at Ibirapuera University, where his responsibilities included lecturing the predoctoral and postdoctoral classes and mentoring master students.
Dr. Chambrone serves as an ad honorem associate professor and research consultant at the Unit of Basic Oral Investigations at El Bosque University (Colombia), as well as visiting professor at the Department of Periodontology at the University of Iowa. He has developed didactical materials that have been widely used by predoctoral and postdoctoral students worldwide. Along these lines, he has co-authored a chapter in the 12th and 13th editions of Carranza’s Textbook of Periodontology, four commissioned review papers for the American Academy of Periodontology (one on soft tissue root coverage for the 2014 AAP Workshop on Periodontal Tissue Regeneration and three for the AAP Best-Evidence Consensus on Lasers and CBCT), and for the European Federation of Periodontology (XV Workshop in Periodontology). Furthermore, he has published two textbooks, one on periodontal plastic surgery for undergraduate students, published in three languages (English, Portuguese and Chinese) by Springer Verlag Book Co. in 2015, and one on decision making in dental implantology, published in five languages (English, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian and Turkish). Dr. Chambrone’s scientific papers are often reviewed in local and international certificate programs of periodontology.
Beyond his enthusiasm and dedication as a dental clinician and educator, Dr. Chambrone is also heavily involved with clinical research and evidence-based dentistry. His publications have a high impact in current dentistry and are among the most cited articles published in 2012 and 2015 at both the Journal of Clinical Periodontology and the Journal of Periodontology. Recognition of his work in the field of periodontology is also demonstrated through his membership in the Cochrane Oral Health Group and on the editorial board of an international dental journal (i.e. Clinical Oral Implants Research). In addition, Dr. Chambrone currently serves as the Section/Associate Editor of Clinical Research for the International Journal of Oral Implantology. He is currently working on a new book on periodontal and implant-related plastic surgery to be released in 2021 by Quintessence Publishing Group.
