The Next ReGeneration Podcast

Peri-implant diseases - a call for global action with Frank Schwarz

In the latest episode of the Next Regeneration podcast, hosts Anina and Elena talk to Frank Schwarz about his groundbreaking work on peri-implant diseases. Schwarz shares his extensive experience in the treatment of peri-implantitis and emphasises the importance of prevention and personalised care programmes.
He discusses the various risk factors for developing peri-implantitis and potential prevention strategies. Schwarz also reflects on the differing views of patients and clinicians on what constitutes successful treatment. Finally, he offers his vision for the future of peri-implant disease research. While he doubts the feasibility of developing implants that are completely resistant to peri-implantitis, he believes the future lies in careful patient selection and modulation of the host immune response.

Host modulation: a paradigm shift to enhance periodontal and bone regeneration with Hatice Hasturk

The use of host modulators represents a true paradigm shift in the way we think about treating inflammatory diseases. In the current episode of the Next Regeneration Podcast, hosts Anina and Elena interview Hatice Hasturk about her pioneering work on specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) for treating periodontal diseases, along with her team.
Their approach represents a significant shift in how we handle inflammation, aiming for active resolution rather than suppression. The results of her translational research are promising and suggest that these modulators may not only target local inflammation but also have systemic effects, potentially breaking the link between periodontitis and systemic diseases. It's serious progress in the fight against inflammatory disorders.

The future of 3D printing in dentistry with Florian Thieringer

As a clinician and researcher he provides first hand insights into the practical applications of 3D printing technology. He highlights materials that are suitable for 3D printing and explains the clinical scenarios, in which in they could be used. Not missing is the glimpse into the future of 3D printing in dentistry.

The Power of Statistics in Dentistry: Revolutionizing Research with Cláudio Mendes Pannuti

Dive into the world of statistics in dentistry with our two hosts Anina and Elena and their guest Cláudio Mendes Pannuti. He is Associate Professor in the Department of Periodontics at the University of São Paulo (Brazil) and in this podcast he talks about his passion for statistics. 
Starting with his journey into statistics, he stresses the importance of accessibility of statistical knowledge to students. He strongly advocates the involvement of statisticians in clinical trials and explains why understanding the disparity between statistical significance and clinical relevance is key. On top of that he provides valuable insights into sample size calculation and how to improve the quality of research manuscripts. 

Stem cells and oral regeneration - where are we? with Danae Apatzidou

Join hosts Anina and Elena in the latest episode of the Next ReGeneration Podcast for an engaging conversation with Danae Apatzidou, Associate Professor at the Department of Preventive Dentistry, Periodontology and Implant Biology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece). 
 
Apatzidou shares her expertise and passion for stem cell therapy in the field of oral regeneration. She explains the complex mechanisms of stem cells and how they are likely to induce the regeneration of missing tissue. While preclinical advances in tissue engineering are promising, there are still significant challenges at the clinical level, which Apatzidou discusses in more detail in this podcast. She concludes by presenting exciting future prospects in stem cell research.

Replacing the human touch: revolutionizing guided implant surgery with Tali Chackartchi

Join our hosts, Anina and Elena, on the Next ReGeneration Podcast to discuss digital implantology. For this podcast episode, they have invited Tali Chackartchi, a member of the Osteology Expert Council and owner of a private clinic in Tel-Aviv, Israel, dedicated to periodontology and implant dentistry.
As a renowned clinician, researcher, and speaker, Chackartchi shares her extensive expertise regarding the benefits and the challenges associated with guided implant surgery. She also emphasises the irreplaceable importance of the human element and highlights the timeless adage: "Remember, a fool with a tool is still a fool!"

The role of dental scientific societies - in science advancement and professional networking with David Okano and Darko Božić

Join our hosts, Anina and Elena, on the Next ReGeneration Podcast for a discussion about how dental scientific societies contribute to advancing science and fostering professional connections. For this podcast episode they have invited the leaders of two very influential associations in dentistry: David Okano, president of the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), and Darko Božić, president of the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP). 
Okano and Božić shed light on the important role of scientific societies in sharing knowledge, providing a platform for professionals, and guiding newcomers in the field.

Autologous palatelet concentrates: A basic scientist’s perspective - with Reinhard Gruber

Join our hosts, Anina and Elena, on the Next ReGeneration Podcast as they discuss the fascinating topic of autologous platelet concentrates with Reinhard Gruber, Professor of Oral Biology at the University Clinic of Dentistry in Vienna. Together, they shed light on the development, rationale, key components and critical considerations associated with blood products. Throughout this episode, Gruber shares a deep dive into the history and the use of autologous platelet concentrates to reveal their multifaceted role in wound healing. He offers a fresh perspective on platelets and reaffirms that they go beyond their status as a mere source of growth factors.  Let Reinhard Gruber take you on an entertaining journey, making the intricate mechanisms of wound healing accessible and comprehensible.

The global threat of antibiotic resistance - with David Herrera

In the latest episode of our Next ReGeneration Podcast, our hosts Anina and Elena, engage in a compelling discussion with David Herrera, Professor of Periodontology from the University Com-plutense of Madrid. Together, they shed light on the urgent issue of Antibiotic Resistance. In 2050, it is estimated that 10 million lives could be lost due to antimicrobial resistance. Dentists, responsible for 10% of global antibiotic prescriptions, play a significant role in this context. Unfortunately, overprescription without considering the future implications has become a concerning part of the problem, as Herrera explains in our latest episode. Herrera talks also about guidelines and scientific evidence on antibiotic use in dentistry, from prophylactic treatments to managing chronic and acute conditions, as well as the impact it has on the microbiome. Stay informed and be part of the solution to combat this growing concern, safeguarding antibiotics for a healthier future.
