Anton Sculean is one of a select few dental specialists with an international reputation! This renowned specialist in periodontology has served as Director of the Department of Periodontology at the University of Bern’s Dental Clinics since 2008. Based on his more than two decades of experience as a specialist dentist and his outstanding international reputation, Prof. Sculean has been awarded the Leading Medicine Guide 2021 seal of approval.

Bern, April 2021 – As early as 1997, Prof. Dr. med. dent., Dr. h.c. (mult.) Anton Sculean was recognized as a specialist in periodontology—long before he became head of the clinic in Bern. But even back then, when he headed dental departments at renowned clinics in Germany and the Netherlands, his work focused on periodontal wound healing and regenerative and plastic-aesthetic periodontal therapy.

In addition to laser treatments, he performs most procedures using minimally invasive techniques. He primarily treats patients with particularly complex dental conditions—such as those with exposed tooth necks, above-average tooth mobility, or frequently bleeding gums.

Prof. Sculean is also a prime example of the notion that cutting-edge medicine can only succeed with a correspondingly high degree of empathy. The specialist wins over his patients simply through his friendly demeanor—and can thus rely on their complete trust. He repays this trust: In his work, Prof. Dr. med. dent, Dr. h.c. (mult.) Anton Sculean combines clinical practice with laboratory-based research, then applies the resulting scientific findings directly for the benefit of his patients.
