AAP celebrates award winners
E
ach year, the American Academy
of Periodontology (AAP) honors
members whose service, dedication and accomplishments have
made a significant impact on the field
of periodontics. Whether it was through
extensive research, teaching or writing
various publications, these members put
in the extra work that allowed them to
stand out for special recognition.
Gold Medal Award
In 2022, the academy presented its highest honor — the Gold Medal — to Dr.
Brian Mealey, a clinical professor of the
specialist division in the Department of
Periodontics at UT Health San Antonio
School of Dentistry.
During the course of his lengthy involvement with the academy, Mealey
has served on 28 different committees,
served as the District 8 representative on
the Board of Trustees, lectured at the annual meeting almost every year, taught
numerous continuing education courses,
served on the Journal of Periodontology
Editorial Advisory Board and presented
at and chaired many of pre- and postdoctoral workshops.
“This award reminds me of the value of
saying ‘yes’ to doing things you may not
think you are good at or that you may not
have time for,” Mealey said. “The ‘work’ is
a lot less work because of the dedicated
staff, members and leaders of the AAP.”
Other awards
• Master Clinician: The 2022 Master Clinician award was sponsored by HuFriedyGroup. The 2022 winner was Dr. Richard

Kao, a renowned clinician in the field of
tissue regeneration. This award honors
an academy member who has practiced
and demonstrated consistent clinical
excellence in periodontics and who has
willingly and unselfishly shared that experience with the profession.
• Distinguished Scientist: The 2022 Distinguished Scientist Award was sponsored by Crest + Oral B. The recipient was
Dr. Gustavo Avila-Ortiz.
• Distinguished Service: The 2022 Distinguished Service Award recipient was
Dr. Bryan J. Frantz.
• Outstanding Periodontal Educator: The 2022 Outstanding Periodontal
Educator Award was sponsored by the
AAP. The recipient was Dr. Gian Pietro
Schincaglia.
• Honorary Membership: The academy was pleased to bestow an honorary
membership to Dr. Anton Sculean. He is
a professor and chairman of the Department of Periodontology and the head of
the Dental Research Center (DRC) of the
School of Dental Medicine, University of
Bern, Switzerland.
• Dalton Conner Humanitarian: This
award is presented to an academy member who has given selflessly through extraordinary actions that benefit a deserving population. The 2022 recipient of this
honor was Dr. Theresa Cheng.
• R. Earl Robinson Regeneration: Funded by the AAP Foundation, this award
recognized an outstanding recent scientific article about periodontal regeneration in the basic and clinical sciences.
For their article, “The effect of timing of
orthodontic therapy on the outcomes
of regenerative periodontal surgery in
patients with stage IV periodontitis: A
multicenter randomized trial,” the academy recognized Drs. Karin Jepsen, Eric
Kutschera, Andreas Jäger, Lorena Gaveglio, Conchita Martin, Søren Jepsen, Christina Tietmann, Peter Wüllenweber, Daniele Cardaropoli, Ignacio Sanz Sanchez,
and Rolf Fimmers.
• Clinical Research: Sponsored by Quintessence Publishing, this award recognized an outstanding recent scientific
article with direct clinical reference to
periodontics. For their article, “Human
variation in gingival inflammation,” the
academy recognized Jeffrey S. McLean,
Shatha O Bamashmous, Kristopher A
Kerns, Camille Zenobia, Harsh M Trived,
Richard P. Darveau, Georgios A Kotsakis,
Brian G Leroux, and Dandan Chen.

Gum inflammation parallels novel ‘cytokine score’
Higher levels of cytokines in
saliva match greater gum
inflammation
Researchers at NYU College of Dentistry have developed a single score to describe the level of cytokines in the saliva,
and this score is linked with the severity
of clinical gum inflammation, according to a study published in the journal
“PLOS ONE”.
While more research is needed to test
the “cytokine score,” it could hold promise for measuring how well a patient responds to treatment for gum disease,
predicting gum disease recurrence or
detecting ongoing inflammation related
to systemic diseases.
Periodontal disease is associated with
systemic conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s.
Scientists believe that gum inflammation contributes to these conditions
through both indirect pathways (cyto-
kines boosting systemic inflammation)
and direct pathways (cytokines traveling
to a specific organ like the heart or brain),
but studying this is difficult because of
the challenge of measuring cytokines in
the fluid found deep in the pockets in the
gums.
Fortunately, cytokines are also found
in the saliva, which is easier to collect.
In the “PLOS ONE” study, the researchers wanted to know if clinically detected
gum inflammation could predict the level of cytokines found in saliva.
The researchers evaluated the gums
and saliva of 67 adults, ages 45 and older, who had some degree of periodontal
disease but were otherwise healthy. Led
by statistician Malvin Janal, PhD, the researchers used two different ways (the
Cytokine Component Index and Composite Inflammatory Index) to combine
cytokines into a single score. They found
that the higher a cytokine score, the
greater the periodontal inflammation.
