Workshop "Periodontal Diseases: New Strategies using Natural Products for Prophylaxis and Therapy"

Periodontitis is a polymicrobial biofilm infection, which leads to the destruction of gingiva, parodont and alveolar bones. If untreated, the disease will lead to teeth loss. Periodontitis is wide spread, depending on age, social status and mouth hygiene. Strongly increasing incidence of periodontitis is observed in Brazil as well as in Europe. Effective treatment of this disease by specific products is limited and research for news and innovative developments is rare.

The announced international workshop aims to discuss the relevant problems associated with periodontis from a scientific, a clinical and also from an economical perspective. R&D strategies will be discussed and developed during the meeting, which should enable industry to effectively developing new products in a straight-forward manner, closely cooperating with academia.

This should be done by initiating preclinical as well as clinical research and streamlining new products for effective marketing. This will be the keystone to initiate promising activities in Brazil as well as in Germany.

The 3^rd day of the workshop is dedicated to our students: learn techniques of idea mining and strategy development together with professionals, using a hot scientific topic: mouthwash products for periodontitis prophylaxis!
