NEW YORK, NY, USA: Dental Tribune America has partnered with the organizers the Greater New York Dental Meeting to offer four days of symposia in the areas of endodontics, implantology, cosmetic and digital dentistry. The meeting is scheduled for 29 November to 2 December. The program is growing.

The newest addition to the program is Risk Of Coronary Heart Disease in Association With Periodontitis and Perimplantitis, to be held 29 and 30 November from 4:15 to 5:15 p.m. each day

In a roundtable discussion, Dr Hans Dieter John, Dr Richard Meissen and D. R. Gieselmann will discuss new technologies to detect and reduce risk factors: from matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP8) diagnostic, to biofilm reduction for Implants and anti-inflammatory therapy.

Recent meta analysis reported an association between periodontal disease (PD) and coronary heart disease (CHD) and show a significant higher risk of 1.14 to 2.22 of developing (CHD). The new chair-side of detection of matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP8) allows clinicians to monitor periodontal disease status in a site-specific manner and increase the patient compliance to treatment option and relevance to general health and CHD.

The consensus report of the sixth European Workshop on Periodontology showed that Periimplantitis occurs in 28 to 56 per cent of subjects and becomes a major problem to implant dentistry in the future. Current evidence indicates that most of destruction of the periodontium is host mediated, driven by bacterial challenge.

Zirconium nitride hard coating technology for dental implants showed a high significant positive effect on biofilm reduction and fibroblast adhesion and surface mechanical resistance.

This session is presented by the Academy of Periointegration.
