This three-lecture conference will present the various diseases that impact the periodontium, how to manage these patients appropriately, with special emphasis on the proper treatment of periodontally compromised teeth and approach in placing dental implants for such patients with severely reduced periodontium.
Dr. Hwey-Chin Yeh graduated from Chung Shan Medical University School of Dentistry in Taiwan. She received her periodontal specialty training and master degree from Northwestern University Dental School in 1993, and then became a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology in 2000.
Dr. Yeh was the Director and the clinical assistant professor of the Periodontal Department of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Linkou Medical Center in Taiwan, where she devoted herself to clinic, research and teaching for decades. Lately she maintains her private practice limited to periodontics and implant surgery in Taipei. She is also appointed as a clinical instructor in the Periodontal Department of Taipei Veterans General Hospital.
Dr. Yeh is currently the President of Taiwan Academy of Periodontology in 2022-2023, and actively involves professional societies. Her lectures for the periodontal and dental societies were well received.
Treating periodontally compromised dentitions has been a challenge to dentists. Periodontal treatments spare no effort in saving teeth but couldn't reach its full extend. In contemporary dentistry, dental implants have been considered an optimal choice when teeth are missing. Survival rate was an important evaluation when dental implants initially developed, whereas success of implant is later considered and become the key to treatment plan. In the dilemma of saving teeth and placing implants, we expect either one to be maintained in function and long-term health. This presentation is to share my clinical experiences and long-term observations in treating periodontally compromised dentitions. The pros and cons of different treatment modalities will be discussed.

He is twice recipient of the prestigious National and Health Medical Research Council Scholarship (1998 for MDSc and 2011 for PhD). His work on the role of enamel matrix derivative on the long-term stability of connective tissue graft on most advanced gingival recession won Best Clinical Research at the last Biannual Meeting of the Australian Society of Periodontology in 2018. His last clinical research on maxillary anterior ridge preservation won Best Clinical Research at the last 2020 Virtual Osteology World Symposium.
Plaque-induced periodontal diseases are characterised by clinical gingival redness and inflammation, bleeding on probing and if progressive, deeper probing depth, clinical attachment loss, bone loss, increased mobility, and eventual tooth loss. However, different systemic and hormonal conditions such as diabetes mellitus and pregnancy pyogenic granuloma, autoimmune diseases such as lichen planus; pemphigoid, and systemic lupus erythematosus, malignant conditions such as squamous cell carcinoma and other local factors such trauma from occlusion can modify, aggravate, and affect the clinical manifestations of classic gum disease posing challenges to the diagnosis and management. This lecture will discuss these different systemic and local conditions that can affect the clinical manifestation and progression of the "everyday qum disease" and will also suggest ways on its diagnosis and management.
Dr. Yung-Ting "Lizzy" Hsu is Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Washington at the Department of Periodontics. She teaches both didactic and clinical teaching at both predoctoral and postdoctoral levels. In addition, Dr. Hsu publishes more than 30 publications in periodontics and implant dentistry, especially prevention and treatments of peri-implant diseases. She also received several awards in recognition of her excellent performance in teaching and clinical research, including American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) Clinical Research Award (2021), AAP Excellence in Teaching and Mentoring Award (2021), American Academy of Periodontology Foundation (AAPF) Nevins Teaching and Clinical Research Fellowship (2018), Osteology Education Grant from Osteology Foundation (2018), and AAPF fellowship to the Institute for Teaching and Learning in the Health Professions (2016). Dr. Hsu received her D.D.S. and D.M.Sc degrees in Periodontics from Kaohsiung Medical University in Taiwan. She also holds a Certificate and M.S. degree in Periodontics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI. She is a dual-board certified periodontist, and a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and the Taiwan Board of Periodontology.
Peri-implant diseases lead to peri-implant bone loss, compromising implant outcomes in both function and esthetics. Multiple strategies have been introduced in treating peri-implantitis, including non-surgical and surgical approaches. Numerous factors may affect treatment outcomes and predictability.
