Research Bio
My research areas are:
Implant dentistry with focus on bone-implant interface under different loading conditions and especially various immediate functional loading treatment concepts
Laser dentistry focused on the effects of laser irradiation (various laser wavelengths) on the oral tissues as well as periodontal and periimplant tissues
Treatment of periimplantitis; mucogingival surgical therapy
Cell signaling; Wound healing; connective tissue research with focus on collagen distribution in the oral tissues in health and disease; tissue regeneration, mediators of inflammation (cytokines)
