JACKSONVILLE, N.C. – Dr. Jose I. Arauz, a Jacksonville periodontist, won the Distinction in Regenerative Excellence Award at a recent symposium in Charlotte, N.C.

Arauz was presented with the award by Geistlich, the world market leader in the production of regenerative biomaterials.

“We are thrilled to celebrate Dr. Arauz for receiving the ‘Distinction in Regenerative Excellence’ award from Geistlich!” the company said. “This prestigious recognition was presented during the Southern Academy of Periodontology Winter Meeting in Charlotte, N.C., honoring his exceptional work in advancing regenerative dentistry and his dedication to excellence in patient care. Dr. Arauz’s passion for innovation and commitment to improving lives inspire us all. Join us in applauding his incredible achievement.”

Regenerative dentistry, practiced by Arauz in many forms, is a branch of dentistry that focuses on using biological mechanisms to repair and restore damaged oral tissues. It aims to promote the body’s natural healing processes to regenerate teeth, gums, and other oral structures.

One such regenerative technique is called ENDORET® Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF), an advanced biomedical technology that stimulates tissue regeneration with the use of autologous proteins found in the patient’s blood.

PRGF treatment is minimally invasive, customized and bio-safe, and favors quicker and more predictable healing that reduces not only the patient’s pain level, but also the risk of infection.

“It is always great to be recognized for the innovative work we do at the Carolina Dental Specialty Center,” said Dr. Arauz. “At the end of the day, our practice is all about the health and comfort of our patients, which is why we use the newest and least invasive techniques, not just in oral tissue restoration, but in our other exceptional procedures like guided biofilm therapy, aerosol reduction and robotic dental implants.
