When it comes to innovations in modern dentistry, his name is sure to come up—all over the world: Prof. Dr. med. dent., Dr. h.c. (mult.) 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.
Global Recognition in Basic Research
This unique combination of clinical practice and basic research has, over the past two decades, led to the development of new methods for regenerating lost gum tissue and alveolar bone, which are now routinely used in treatment. In other words, Prof. Sculean has set new standards on multiple occasions.
In addition to treating and providing long-term care for all forms of gum disease—including the placement of implants—Prof. Sculean, together with a top-tier team, consults with his patients in state-of-the-art treatment rooms.
The award of the Leading Medicine Guide 2021 seal guarantees that Professor Dr. med. dent, Dr. h.c. (mult.) Anton Sculean will continue to be listed on the leading online specialist portal. This ensures that individuals seeking care or those affected by serious dental conditions are immediately connected with the right expert.
