About

P. Mark Bartold is a leading figure in periodontology and dental research, with a career spanning over four decades. His key research areas include periodontal regeneration, the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases, and the application of emerging technologies in dentistry. Bartold’s major contributions lie in elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying periodontal tissue repair, particularly through the use of growth factors and stem cells to promote regeneration of lost bone and connective tissue. He has also been a vocal commentator on the future of dental practice, notably exploring the implications of robotic dentistry in his 2017 paper, which, despite its modest citation count, sparked critical dialogue on automation’s role in clinical care. With an h-index exceeding 60 and over 15,000 citations, his work has profoundly shaped modern periodontics. He has received numerous accolades, including the International Association for Dental Research’s Distinguished Scientist Award, and has served as editor-in-chief of leading journals. Bartold’s research continues to bridge basic science and clinical innovation, inspiring students and practitioners to rethink the boundaries of dental medicine.
