MESSAGE
As dentists
, our main responsibility is to offer our patients treatments which satisfy their expectations to the best of our ability. In all the available treatment modalities, we have to bear in mind function, aesthetics and phonetics in order to achieve the optimal result.Today
, implant treatment offers the possibility to fulfill the increasing demands of our patients towards prosthetic rehabilitation. The excellent implant survival rate means the outcome is not only predictable but often better than conventional prosthetics.The University of Frankfurt
has been involved in the field of oral implantology for well over 3 decades, gaining an excellent reputation in this field. Implant dentistry is an integral curriculum of its postgraduate programmes.We are also proud of its external teaching programmes
for both local and international dentists. A variety of courses are on offer, from short courses to accreditaton courses leading to the award of the basic postgraduate "Certificate in Oral Implantology" and the advanced international "Master of Science" by course work which is being introduced.Prof. Dr. G.H.
