AO Spotlight with Edward Schwarz, PhD, osteoimmunologist and AO keynote speaker

As oral health plays a role in the overall health of patients, what can implant dentistry learn from other fields with relatable scientific interests?
Enter Edward Schwarz, PhD from the University of Rochester Medical Center. A scientist and osteoimmunologist whose focus is the interaction between the immune system and bone, sits down with The Dental Guys fresh off his keynote presentation at AO's 2024 Annual Meeting to discuss correlations between orthopedics and implant dentistry.
During Episode 22 of the AO Spotlight Podcast, Dr. Schwarz elaborates on therapies and treatment planning to facilitate bone growth, and how bacteria is changing treatment planning protocols. The trio also gets into advances in antibiotics related to bacteria in the bone.
As the field of implant dentistry works to find consensus on these types of issues, this podcast provides important insight on what kind of therapies will help to mediate infection, treatments that grow bone, and prevent bone loss without compromising bone modeling. Tune in!
