81 Is Perio Disease Transmittable Like STD's? with Dr. Burton Langer : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran - a podcast by Howard Farran: Dentist | Dental CE Speaker | Founder & CEO of Dentaltown.co

Would you treat someone for chlamydia over and over again without checking their partner? Maybe you shouldn't treat for perio disease without checking their partner either!

 

Dr. Burton Langer earned his dental degree from Tufts School of Dental Medicine. He received his Certificate in Periodontics and Masters Degree in Science from Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry in 1966.

 

He was a former Associate Clinical Professor of Periodontics and the Director of Post Graduate Clinical Periodontics at Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology.

 

Dr. Langer was one of the first periodontists  trained in osseointegration by Professor Per-Ingvar Branemark in 1983. His development of new modalities of therapy, such as the early re-entry procedure for bone grafts, the ridge augmentation procedure, the subepithelial connective tissue graft and various flap procedures for implants, have become standard methods of treatment.

 

 

Dr. Langer has lectured extensively throughout the world, has written over 40 articles, and chapters in 6 textbooks, many of which have original concepts that have enhanced the clinical practice of periodontics and implant dentistry. He is the 1992 recipient of the Hirschfeld Award for Clinical Excellence and the 1997 recipient of the American Academy of Periodontology Master Clinician Award.
