Thanks to the significant rise of implant treatment within dentistry, oral tissue regeneration has evolved strongly in recent decades. In the future, this area is set to become even more important through the paradigm shift in implant dentistry: what was originally a function-oriented intervention has become a treatment with high aesthetic standards and minimal invasiveness as a prerequisite. Nowadays, effective oral tissue regeneration techniques enable implants to be placed correctly from a prosthetic point of view, even in suboptimal bone conditions and despite gingival deficits.
Bone regeneration has been the focus of research for decades and is now practised at a correspondingly high level. For quite some time, it was considered that soft tissue simply follows the bone. This is true to a certain extent, but we also realise that there is great potential in optimising soft tissue independently. We can look forward to decisive progress in soft-tissue regeneration in the coming years. The research for gaining specific evidence is ongoing and will provide clinicians with valuable guidelines in the future.
Integrating oral tissue regeneration into more holistic approaches will open up even more potential in the future. In this context, holistic means accepting that the oral cavity is not separate from the rest of the body and should not be confused with sometimes dubious treatments lacking scientific evidence. However, it seems obvious that a body weakened by various factors shows a different healing pattern than that of a perfectly healthy patient. If we take this into account in oral tissue regeneration, according to clear diagnostic criteria, the result of such interventions can be improved and complications reduced.
Another trend is the increased use of sophisticated tissue regeneration techniques in tooth preservation. This is where the Osteology Foundation comes into play. The organisation is a true specialist in oral tissue regeneration, covering all relevant indications, including hard- and soft-tissue management, consideration of the biological aspects of regeneration and interdisciplinary regenerative approaches. In this role as a specialist organisation, we strive to accompany these trends, be it with implant-oriented or tooth-preserving procedures.
Very important in the Osteology Foundation’s continuing education programme are the National Osteology Symposia. In 2023, the Osteology Foundation is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the absolute highlight of the year: the International Osteology Symposium—to be held from 27 to 29 April in Barcelona in Spain. The symposium will provide relevant theoretical and practical knowledge to all interested parties, including students, general practitioners and experienced specialists. This event is a unique opportunity for a deep dive into the exciting world of regeneration. The most renowned experts worldwide will share their knowledge through a multitude of lectures and hands-on workshops. Clinical round tables, case sessions and a poster exhibition will provide for a highly varied programme.
More information on the programme, workshops, case competition and poster exhibitions as well as registration is available at osteology-barcelona.org.
