Throughout his career, his goal has always been to get teeth to their 75th birthday. With such, Dr. Graham’s emphasis has always been based on trust with the patient and conservative dentistry. His courses highlight many of the restorative options in dentistry today along with an emphasis on customized approaches to periodontal care, implants, laser dentistry and treatment for the ever-expanding geriatric population.
Dr. Graham is the founder of Catapult Education, now composed of 30+ speakers including clinical evaluators of the latest dental products and technologies with over 38,000 education subscribers.
Dr. Graham is a published author and is the former Dental Director of the University of Chicago’s Department of Dentistry.
Current dental restorative materials are mostly artificial or bio-inert materials. The interfaces between these
materials and human dental hard (enamel, dentin and cementum) and soft (pulp, periodontal ligament
and gingiva) tissues are potential areas of failure due to mechanical and biological complications. Tissue
regeneration technology has been used in dentistry but so far is mainly limited in periodontal tissues, alveolar
bone and dental pulps. This course describes the current research progress of hard dental tissue regeneration,
such as dentin and enamel. Possible future clinical applications in restorative dentistry will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives
• Describe the current research progress of hard dental tissue regeneration such as dentin and enamel
• Discuss the future research directions related to these hard dental tissue regeneration
• Discuss the possible future clinical applications of this technology in restorative dentistry
