New and innovative biomaterials are being discovered or created in laboratories at an unprecedented rate, but many of them remain entirely foreign to practicing clinicians. This talk will summarize some of the groundbreaking research performed to date on this topic and providing case examples of these biomaterials at work. The course begins with a review of the biologic background and applications of bone grafting materials utilized in dentistry, and will follow up on recent developments with respect to osteoinductive synthetic bone grafts, bone conditioned media, the the platelet-rich fibrin Bio-PRF system, Osteogain (a liquid carrier system of enamel matrix derivative) as well as Tetranite bone adhesive. Each of these biomaterials has been funded directly by the International Team for Implantology and will be launched in the coming months by Straumann AG.

Dr. Richard Miron is currently an Adjunct Visiting Faculty in the department of Periodontology in Bern, Switzerland where he completed his PhD studies since 2009. He has currently published over 180 peer-reviewed articles and lectures internationally on many topics relating to growth factors, bone biomaterials and guided bone regeneration. He has recently been awarded many recent international prizes in dentistry including the ITI Andre Schroeder Prize, and the IADR Young Investigator of the Year in the field of Implant Dentistry. He has written 2 best-selling textbooks widely distributed in regenerative dentistry including his most recent in 2019 titled: “Next Generation Biomaterials for Bone and Periodontal Regeneration” and a 2^nd in 2017 titled: “Platelet Rich Fibrin in Regenerative Dentistry: From Biological Background to Clinical Indications”.Next Generation Biomaterials for Bone and Periodontal Regeneration
