Dr. Goldberg climbs Mt. Kilimanjaro!
 |
In 2006, Dr. Goldberg achieved his personal goal of climbing to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. The 52-mile trek started in a tropical forest and ended 7 days later at the snow capped Uhuru Peak, 19,350 feet above sea level.
Upon his decent, he met with his nuclear family and reunited with his mother’s family who fled the Holocaust of WWII to take up residence in South Africa.
During the Kilimanjaro climb, a charitable fund was set up with the Valerie Fund at Overlook Hospital in Summit. Donations were made in support of Dr. Goldberg’s endeavor to help contribute to the care of children with cancer and blood disorders.

New periodontal procedures and tools

Piezosurgery
Osseous surgery has been an unchanging component of periodontal therapy since the inception of the high-speed handpiece in the early 1960s. FDA approved piezosurgery is a new modality developed to contour supporting bone around teeth as well as to remove bone without damaging soft tissue.

Imagine a plaster cast on your arm that needs to be removed. With piezosurgery, the cutting blade does not rotate like normal saw blades, it vibrates. The hard cast is vibrated away, but when it meets the skin, the soft tissue vibrates at the same rate as the cutting blade and is, therefore, not injured. In the case of a spinal cord injury, the vertebrae can be vibrated away without damaging the soft tissue of the spinal nerves.
This innovative method is well suited for oral surgery where there are many soft tissue structures, such as nerves and sinus tissue. Piezosurgery, developed by Mectron Electronics and Dr. Tomaso Vercelotti, was recently approved by the FDA after being used in Europe for the past 4 years.
Since studying with Dr. Vercelotti, Dr. Goldberg has become the first practitioner in North America to employ this technology, which is rapidly gaining acceptance in the U.S.
GEM 21S®
Turning back the hands of time continues to be the goal of all health care. When bone loss occurs due to periodontal diseases, there is now greater success regrowing the lost bone.
The first approved genetically engineered healing protein, GEM 21S, is now being used by Dr. Goldberg to regrow bone more quickly and effectively.
