Webinar

Beyond Bone Grafts: The Expanding Role of Biologics in Periodontal and Implant Therapy

Speaker: Celine Joyce Cornelius Timothius

August 15, 2026

ACDE Webinar Series

ACDE (Association for Continuing Dental Education)

The Association for Continuing Dental Education (ACDE), along with 37 of its member schools, is jointly providing a series of live webinars. This series features university-based key opinion leaders presenting numerous topics on multiple dates and times. Presentations are available to meet every dental professional’s schedule and interests.

Course Description

This webinar is designed to provide participants with an evidence-based overview of biologic agents utilized in periodontal and peri-implant regeneration. The course will review the biologic principles of wound healing and tissue regeneration and examine currently available biologic materials, including platelet concentrates, enamel matrix derivatives, growth factors, and soft tissue biologics. Emphasis will be placed on the clinical application of these materials in the management of periodontal defects, gingival recession, ridge preservation, implant site development, and peri-implant tissue regeneration. Clinical case presentations and a review of current literature will be incorporated to enhance participants’ understanding of appropriate case selection, surgical considerations, and techniques associated with achieving predictable clinical outcomes.

  • Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

    • Review the biologic principles associated with periodontal and peri-implant wound healing and tissue regeneration.
    • Identify commonly utilized biologic agents and discuss their indications, advantages, and limitations in clinical practice.
    • Discuss evidence-based applications of biologic materials in periodontal regeneration, soft tissue grafting, and peri-implant therapy.
    • Evaluate clinical decision-making processes and treatment planning considerations for regenerative periodontal and implant procedures.
  • This webinar will be held on Zoom.

    Instructions will be sent to you by email closer to the course start date on how to access the Zoom meeting.

  • Cancellations made more than 10 calendar days before the course start date will receive a full refund. No refunds will be issued for cancellations made within 10 calendar days of the course start date.
