21AAP-IP4: Perio Open Mic

Speakers: Douglas H. Mahn, Kunaal Dhingra, Dharmarajan Gopalakrishnan

This Innovations in Periodontics format provides a platform to present a pivotal concept, perspective, or paradigm-shifting philosophy. The target presenter is a mid- to late-career periodontal clinician or scientist with a validated innovation to showcase. Unlike “Advances in Periodontics,” this forum provides the opportunity to present a philosophy, ideology, or thought, rather than a case presentation. Each speaker will give a 15-minute presentation on a specific topic, followed by a five-minute Q&A period. Speakers are selected by a blind review of abstracts submitted to the AAP.

Educational Objectives:
• Gain knowledge of a pivotal concept, perspective, or paradigm-shifting philosophy.
• Explain a new philosophy, ideology, or thought which can enhance your practice, profession, or level of patient care.
