According to the International and American Associations for Dental Research (IADR/AADR), periodontal disease is the sixth most prevalent disease in the world, affecting more than 740 million people. In the United States alone, nearly half of adults age 30 and older have some form of periodontal disease. These staggering statistics are why the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) is committed to advancing periodontal science in an effort to raise awareness of the symptoms and repercussions of periodontal disease; modernize and standardize diagnosis; enhance and facilitate successful clinical treatment, and ultimately reduce the global burden of disease. To accomplish these goals, the AAP must collaborate with its colleagues around the globe. In November 2017, the AAP will welcome periodontal experts from 22 countries to Chicago for the World Workshop on Disease Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions. Organized in concert with the European Federation of Periodontology, over 100 of the specialty’s best and brightest will review current scientific literature, deliberate, and come to consensus to establish an updated disease classification system that can be universally utilized by all periodontists. Four working groups will discuss gingival diseases, periodontitis, periodontal manifestation on systemic disease, and peri-implant diseases. Each group will review the existing disease classification system, including case definitions and diagnostic considerations, and update accordingly. The last time an effort of this caliber was undertaken was 1999. The proceedings of the Workshop will be published in a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Periodontology, and a comprehensive dissemination strategy will be deployed to ensure that materials supporting the updated disease classification get in the hands of periodontists and other dental professionals around the world.
Additionally, the AAP is honored to collaborate with both the Japanese Society of Periodontology (JSP) and the Japanese Academy of Clinical Periodontology (JACP), as well as the Canadian Academy of Periodontology (CAP) for its 104th Annual Meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, to be held October 27-31, 2017. The 2018 Annual Meeting will bring together a world-class line-up of speakers discussing some of the most relevant and innovative topics in periodontology. Subjects currently on the program include regenerative therapies, moderate sedation and emergency medicine, surgically facilitated orthodontic treatment, immediate implant placement, and much more. The AAP 2018 Annual Meeting aims to be a global meet-up of dental professionals committed to periodontics to network and learn.
As the AAP looks to the future, partnerships with international periodontal societies such as the JSP will become increasingly important. With over 1,600 International members, ensuring that the AAP has a respected leadership position and esteemed reputation in the global periodontal community is crucial. The AAP looks forward to working with its international counterparts through science, education, and membership.
