International Society of Periodontal Plastic Surgeons

Present new, innovative and, often unpublished material and techniques or modifications in the field of Perio Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. P.D.

Over 30 years ago, Dr. Peter Nordland reached out to Dr. Preston Miller and suggested they meet to discuss similarities in root coverage surgery which up to that time had been considered impossible or at best unpredictable. They met during the American Academy of Periodontology’s Annual Meeting and shared differences and similarities in the procedures they were performing. Miller introduced Dr. Pa

t Allen to Dr. Nordland and they all decided to meet and share ideas about root coverage grafting. The meeting was so productive that they felt it would be a good idea to create a study group focused on regenerative surgery. They then invited some of the most talented and inquisitive clinicians of the time to also contribute. Little did they realize that the pendulum of periodontal surgical procedures was about to take a big swing into the regenerative and reconstructive direction. The interest and focus of the organization expanded as international surgeons and educators expressed an interest in participating. Over time, what had been known as the periodontal plastic surgery study club evolved into the International Society of Periodontal Plastic Surgeons (ISPPS), and invitations to attend the annual meeting were offered to surgeon-educators interested in oral plastic surgery. Today, the International Society of Periodontal Plastic Surgeons is composed of dental specialists throughout the world, most of whom are full-time clinicians and educators. The society meets annually the day before the AAP annual meeting to present new, innovative and, often unpublished material and techniques or modifications to existing techniques in the field of periodontal plastic and reconstructive surgery, aimed at improving overall esthetics to the benefit of patients long-term.

Have you checked your inbox for the July issue of ISPPS EDGE yet?

In this edition, our Platinum Partners at Elemental release eye-opening clinical and economic data that puts a spotlight on breakthrough research from our very own ISPPS Vice President, Dr. Shayan Barootchi.

We already know rigid protective stents are the gold standard for donor-site management after autogenous graft harvesting. The clinical data on post-op pain reduction is clear. But Elemental takes Dr. Barootchi's research and asks the question most clinicians overlook: What does making a palatal stent truly cost your practice when you model out chair time, labor, and materials?

It’s a sharp, data-backed look at how clinical decisions directly impact your daily practice economics.

This is what makes ISPPS EDGE worth opening every single time: real science, real application, and real value for clinicians who want to stay ahead of the curve.

Members, your copy is waiting.

If you’re not reading it, you’re missing the exact conversations shaping the future of our specialty.

We are lucky at ISPPS to have some incredible leaders at the helm. Check out these highlights from our President, Dr. Robert Levine, and Vice President, Dr. Shayan Barootchi, literally in action!

A huge thanks to Dr. Ashi Singh and Dr. Diogo Oliveira for tagging them and sharing their insights. It’s fantastic to see the global ripple effect of their teaching and dedication. From Monday masterclasses on soft-tissue augmentation to sessions on root coverage, they're teaching, inspiring, and shaping the next generation of surgeons.

This is what ISPPS stands for: excellence, collaboration, and a dedication to always pushing the field of periodontal plastic surgery forward.

Seeing these kinds of posts from across the globe makes us incredibly proud to be building this community. What’s the most valuable thing you’ve learned recently in your field? Let us know in the comments!

If you haven’t opened your July issue of ISPPS EDGE yet, drop what you’re doing and flip straight to section 03!

Dr. Colin Richman just delivered a masterclass in our Mentorship Corner that every clinician needs to read right now:

"Beyond the Wire: Why Mentorship is the True Driver of Surgical Innovation."

Here’s a quote from the article that literally stopped us in our tracks:

“The ultimate clinical tool isn't made of titanium or stainless steel. It's the shared wisdom passed from one clinician to another.”

Think about that for a second. We spend endless hours discussing new technology, materials, and surgical techniques, but true breakthroughs happen when experienced clinicians pull back the curtain and pass down real, battle-tested wisdom.

That is the exact heart and soul of the ISPPS!

Founded on the incredible legacy of Dr. P.D. Miller, our mission has always been simple yet powerful: INSPIRE. EDUCATE. CONNECT. MENTOR. We are here to transform the future of regenerative dentistry and aesthetic surgery, TOGETHER.

Inside this month's issue, members get direct access to Dr. Richman’s Full Case Study & Complete Surgical Protocol, the exact step-by-step roadmap you can take straight into your treatment room this week.

Here’s the catch: ISPPS EDGE is 100% Members-Only.

We don't publish this for the general public. We create it specifically to equip our ISPPS family with an unmatched clinical edge, world-class mentorship, and a community of peers who elevate each other every single day.

If you’re ready to stop practicing in a silo and unlock the full case studies, surgical protocols, and mentorship inside the July issue, don't wait on the sidelines!

Seattle is about to change how you practice surgery forever.

If you’re content with "good enough," this isn't for you. ISPPS is built for the clinicians who are obsessed with getting better, refining their craft, and leveling up their patient outcomes. We’re skipping the basic theory and going all-in on high-level surgical mastery.

Mark your calendar for October 28th. Here’s why you need to be in the room:

The Real Drivers of Success: We’re dissecting deep, technique-driven strategies around blood supply, predictability, and advanced vascularized graft techniques.

The Mastermind: Dr. Navid Sharifzadeh is taking the stage to break down Precision Through Perfusion. Learning from him in a setting like this is a game-changer.

The Smartest Play: It’s timed perfectly right before AAP, turning your trip to Seattle into the highest-yield clinical investment you'll make all year.

Here’s the catch: We are keeping this room small on purpose. No fluff, no overcrowded lecture halls, just high-level training with peers who push you to be better.

Seats are moving way faster than expected, and once we cap it, that’s it. If you're serious about your growth, don't wait on this.

Grab your spot before it fills up: Tap the link in our bio or head over to www.ispps.org/annual-meeting

Come for the science. Stay for the shift. See you in Seattle!

Did you get a chance to open your July issue of ISPPS EDGE yet?

If not, you need to turn straight to page 5.

Dr. Mike Sonick drops absolute gold in this month’s Thought Leader feature: "TRUST BEGINS BEFORE TREATMENT: The First Five Minutes That Shape Every Patient Relationship."

Here’s the reality: patients are evaluating our practices long before we ever walk into the consultation room. They’re judging the feel of the practice from the parking lot, the reception area, the team's energy, and how everyone interacts.

Before you ever talk clinical strategy or surgical precision, trust has already been won or lost.

Dr. Sonick breaks down the exact mindset and practice standards his team uses to build immediate, unshakable trust with every single patient who walks through the door.

Articles like this are why ISPPS EDGE is quickly becoming the most talked-about publication in our field. But remember, this is a member-only perk. We built this publication specifically to give our ISPPS community an unfair advantage in both clinical excellence and practice growth.

If you’re not a member yet, you're missing out on the exact insights your peers are using right now to elevate their practices.

Ask any past attendee why they never miss the ISPPS Annual Session, and they’ll tell you the same thing: It’s the only room where the filter comes off.

No fluff. No scripted slide decks you could’ve read from your couch.

For our 38th Annual Session in Seattle, we’re keeping the exact same formula that fills our room every year: strictly capped attendance, direct access to top-tier surgical innovators, and real, unfiltered discussions on complex cases, but with a few surprises.

If you want to talk shop with the surgeons actually shifting the paradigm of plastic periodontal surgery, this is where they’ll be on October 28, 2026.

What you need to know:

Exclusive Add-Ons: We’re building out brand-new social experiences for 2026 designed to skip the polite small talk and build real professional allies.

Hotel Logistics: We're based at the Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA (sleek, central, and connected via underground walkway to the convention center).

Seats go fast every single year, and when they’re gone, they’re gone.

Don't miss the room where the actual progress happens > https://www.ispps.org/annual-meeting

October 28 is coming up fast! If you haven’t grabbed your spot for the 38th Annual Session of the ISPPS in Seattle yet, consider this your sign.

Drs. Dias & Ravida are taking the stage for "Beyond Clinical Judgment: How AI Is Transforming Periodontal Prognosis." They’ll dive into how AI processes complex data, how it compares against periodontists and general dentists in recent studies, and its real-world limits as a decision-support tool.

Quick heads-up: ISPPS has sold out 3 years in a row, weeks ahead of deadline. Once seats are gone, that’s it.

Don't miss out. Lock in your spot today > https://www.ispps.org/annual-meeting

Proud to share our latest publication in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology! 🦷📚

This systematic review examines the methodological quality and evolution of prognostic models in periodontology, with a focus on predicting clinically meaningful outcomes such as tooth loss and periodontal disease progression. The review analyzed 27 studies spanning several decades, highlighting the evolution from traditional categorical prognostic systems toward contemporary data-driven and machine-learning approaches.

The findings highlight important opportunities to strengthen periodontal prognostication, including improved handling of missing data, appropriate validation and calibration, use of time-to-event methods, and more transparent reporting. Recent models show methodological progress, but important gaps remain.

This work underscores the importance of rigorous methodology and interdisciplinary collaboration in developing reliable prognostic tools that can ultimately support more individualized clinical decision-making and advance precision dentistry.

Congratulations to our faculty, residents, former fellows and collaborators involved in this important contribution to periodontal research! 🦷🔬
