Important aims of clinical research include the development of study objectives, research design methodology, and outcome measures. Proper articulation of these goals will lead to the determination of the outcomes of safety, efficacy and/or effectiveness of new dental drugs, biologics, devices, or procedures to improve patient care. This book guides researchers in creating protocols that lead to meaningful outcomes in oral and maxillofacial tissue regeneration. This text is written by a group of eminent investigators with expertise in all facets of clinical research from methodology to clinical protocols. Covered topics include oral and maxillofacial imaging, histomorphometry, examiner calibration, good clinical practice, ridge augmentation, soft and hard tissue grafting, sinus augmentation, and periodontal regeneration protocols. This is an essential reference guide for clinical researchers engaged in research in oral tissue regeneration.

William Giannobile, DDS, MS, DMSc, is dean of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine and a professor in the Department of Oral Medicine, Infection, and Immunity. He has produced over 300 manuscripts, textbook chapters, and patents focused on periodontology, regenerative medicine, and oral health research and is coeditor of nine books focused on clinical, translational research, periodontology, and regenerative medicine. He is a consultant to the US Food and Drug Administration for dental devices and has received numerous awards, including the American Dental Association Norton Ross Award for Excellence in Clinical Research. In addition to his administrative and teaching responsibilities, he practices periodontics and implant dentistry at the Harvard Dental Center.
Professor Niklaus P. Lang is the author of more than 730 publications. He holds four honorary doctorates and honorary membership of 20 national and international associations. In 1968, he was awarded the Swiss Dental Association’s renowned Prix Louis Metzger, and in 1992, he received the IADR’s Basic Science in Periodontal Disease Award. He is a past president of the ITI and the Swiss Society for Periodontology (SSP) and was Editor-in-Chief of the journal Clinical Oral Implants Research until 2016. He is active in clinical research related to implant dentistry, periodontology, etiology and pathogenesis of peri-implant infections, risk evaluation, wound healing, and oral microbiology. From 2008 to 2012, he built up the curriculum in implant dentistry at the University of Hong Kong after having headed the Department of Periodontology and Fixed Prosthodontics at the University of Bern, Switzerland from 1978 to 2008.
Maurizio Tonetti graduated in Dentistry from Genoa University and received his masters in periodontology from Harvard University. He is a lecturer in Discipline Odontostomatologiche in Bern, Switzerland and currently a full lecturer and director of the Department of Periodontology and the School of Specialisation in Periodontology at Hong Kong University. He previously performed the same role at University College London and University of Connecticut Health Science Center. Dr Tonetti is also the executive director of the Research Group on Periodontology and Editor in Chief of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology. He is an active member and past president of SIdP and a member of the EFP steering committee. He is the author of more than 150 original scientific publications and has been a speaker at many important national and international conventions.
