The Rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón, and the owner and director of IAADent (International Academy of Advanced Dentistry), Dr Kenneth Lee, have signed the agreement for the creation of the new IAADent Chair in Dental Science, with the aim of combining efforts in the fight against periimplantitis, an infectious oral disease, through research, dissemination and training of professionals.

The recent increase in the number of dental implants has led to an increase in infections, affecting more and more people and reducing the quality of life of patients. This problem manifests itself years after implantation, which means that the incidence in the population could increase exponentially in the coming years. Therefore, the knowledge gained from the study of peri-implantitis and the consequent implementation of solutions, such as combined clinical treatments, could benefit many areas of bone implantology. The aim of the Chair is to study this disease in order to link the knowledge generated to scientific dissemination and professional training.

The planned activities for the Chair include the establishment of a specific line of research on peri-implantitis and the development of clinical doctoral theses related to this field. Additionally, the results will be integrated into implantology-related courses within the Master’s Degree in Dental Science and various university training programmes. Furthermore, the plan includes the organisation of annual international dissemination conferences with the participation of specialists in the field to disseminate the knowledge generated and the best clinical approaches for its treatment, as well as promoting the publication of scientific articles and participation in conferences to present the knowledge developed through the Chair’s activity.

The signing ceremony was also attended by David Cabedo, Vice-Rector for Innovation, Transfer and Scientific Dissemination; Julio Suay Antón, Director of the Chair and Professor at the UJI’s Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Design; and Dr Francisco Romero, from the Polymers and Advanced Materials Research Group (PIMA).

**About IAADent**  
IAADent (International Academy of Advanced Dentistry) provides education, training and mentoring for dentists. It is one of the leading independent trainers in orthodontics and implant dentistry and, over the last decade, has expanded its training to include postgraduate courses in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics, oral implantology and temporomandibular disorders and sleep apnoea, as well as offering specialist dental training in oral implantology and orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics to broaden the range of training available to dentists.

IAADent has initiated research into peri-implantitis that will lead to new doctoral theses and generate knowledge for new clinical treatments.
