PD Dr. rer. nat. Jörg Meister Lecturer M.Sc. Periodontology Since more than 30 years that lasers have been established in dentistry, the use of this technology shows its wide variety in the areas of diagnostics, like caries detection or in therapeutic applications such as endodontics, cavity preparation, soft tissue surgery and of course in periodontics. But the basic knowledge about this technology is the requirement for a successful laser treatment. My name is Jörg Meister, I am Physicist and the technical director of the "Center of Applied Medical Laser Research and Biomedical Optics (abbr. AMLaReBO)" at Bonn University. with [...]

Graduated as biologist, practiced in clinical microbiology and educated in theoretical dentistry,  I contributed to science and practice with a few hundreds of papers, reviews, book-chapters, lectures, but also marketed diagnostic products. Thereby, about half of my life’s output addressed periodontology. Being [...]

Prof. Dr. Reiner Mengel Lecturer M.Sc. Periodontology When you have been working in dentistry for over 30 years, you realize that periodontology should be the basis of all disciplines in dentistry. In periodontal treatment, the most important treatment goal is tooth preservation and the establishment of inflammation-free soft tissue. This also applies to implants, which are increasingly used as a prosthetic restoration in many patients. In order to achieve these goals, a biologically oriented scientific training is necessary, which must be combined with the learning of manual skills. This interdependent theoretical and practical training is the prerequisite for the [...]
