Course description

The aim of this course is to provide the general practitioner and the

specialist with a comprehensive, evidence based concept aiming to

succesfully manage the periodontally compromised patient. During

the 2 days, a treatment concept based on the scientific evidence

from the last 3 decades will be provided. The concept will address

the most important aspects related to the treatment of periodontal

and periimplant diseases including diagnosis, nonsurgical, anti-

biotic/antiseptic, surgical, regenerative and plastic-aesthetic surgery.

Case presentations and case discussions will illustrate how the

scientific evidence can be included in the overall treatment philo-

sophy, helping the participant to include the aquired knowledge in

her/his daily practice.

has received his postgraduate training at the Universities Münster, Germany and Royal Dental College

Aarhus, Denmark. He received his Habilitation (PhD) a the University of Saarland, Homburg, Germany.

From 2004 to 2008 he was appointed as Head of the Department of Periodontology and Program

Director of the EFP accredited postgraduate program at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, the

Netherlands. In December 2008, he was appointed Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pe-

riodontology of the University of Bern, Switzerland. Professor Sculean has received a recipient of many

research awards, among others the Anthony Rizzo Award of the Periodontal Research Group of the

International Association for Dental Research (IADR), and the IADR/Straumann Award in Regenerative

Periodontal Medicine. He received honorary doctorates (Dr. h.c.) from the Semmelweis University in

Budapest, Hungary and from the Victor Babes University in Timisoara, Romania.

He has been the author of more than 160 publications in peer reviewed journals. He is on the editorial

board of more than 10 dental journals amongst others the Journal of Clinical Periodontology, Clinical
