Tony Melcher's Contributions to the Regeneration of the Periodontium

Christopher A. McCulloch

MRC Group in Periodontal Physiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Room 244, 150 College Street, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada M5S 3E8

The impact of Tony Melcher's scientific work on periodontal regeneration is discussed in light of his interests in cellular domains and bone healing, the physiology of the periodontal ligament, and his development of organ and cell culture methods. Collectively, his scientific accomplishments have pointed us in new directions for approaching periodontal regeneration and have helped to create new research opportunities, many of which were previously unrecognized. Tony's scientific ideas are insightful, numerous, and compelling; his ability to make these ideas come alive and relevant to clinical problems has been a major influence in shaping our current thinking on the biology of the periodontium and on periodontal regeneration.

Key Words: periodontium • bone • cell cultur, • wound healing • periodontal ligament
