SP-23 Is Bone Regeneration Achievable Following Apicomarginal Defects?
CE Hours: 1.0
Description: Treating significant bone loss around teeth (apico-marginal defects) is a challenge for dentists, particularly endodontists who focus on the root canal and surrounding tissues. Deep pockets often indicate a connection between this bone loss and complete exposure of the tooth's root surface. This significantly impacts treatment planning and management. Studies have investigated methods to stimulate bone regrowth and improve patient well-being. A recent approach utilizing platelet concentrates demonstrated encouraging results in reducing pocket depth and promoting some bone formation. However, it fell short in effectively regenerating the bone on the side facing the cheek (facial or buccal bone). This presentation will explore a novel technique using collagen crosslinking. This method aims to improve healing and quality of life for patients with severe bone loss around their teeth. We'll compare the results of this new approach with traditional methods, analyzing both 2D and 3D healing outcomes to assess its effectiveness in bone regeneration and overall treatment success.
Learning Objectives:
- Review the mechanisms by which root canal infections impact periodontal tissues and identifying strategies for effective healing.
- Describe guided tissue regeneration and autologous products used alongside root canal surgery. These techniques aim to prevent the apical migration of junctional epithelium.
- Assess the effectiveness of regenerative techniques in promoting healing of bone loss around teeth (apicomarginal defects) caused by root canal problems.

Dr. Sabeti's impressive dental career began with a DDS degree from the University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston in 1993. He then pursued further specialization, completing programs in Periodontics at Tufts School of Dental Medicine and Endodontics at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC .
Following his postgraduate training, Dr. Sabeti served at the University of Texas Dental Branch from 1995 to 2000 in postgraduate periodontology. He has since distinguished himself through leadership roles at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Currently, he directs their postgraduate endodontics program and chairs the PECC. He also holds the prestigious position of president for the Northern California Academy of Endodontics. He is also a site visitor for The Commission on Dental Accreditation and a delegate with the American Dental Education Association.
Dr. Sabeti is a board-certified endodontist renowned for his contributions to the field. He has actively shared his expertise through numerous invited presentations, publications in textbooks and chapters, and his dedication has been recognized with several awards. These include the Certificate in Recognition of Outstanding Services at USC, a Certificate of Appreciation from the University of Texas, and the Excellence in Teaching Award from UCSF's Haile T.
