Christoph Hammerle is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics and Dental Material Science at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. He is certified in prosthodontics as well as in periodontics. His clinical focus is on the comprehensive treatment of complex, partially edentulous patients applying all available options of restorative dentistry.
Prof. Hammerle’s main scientific interest encompass biological and prosthetic aspects of the treatment with dental implants as part of the overall restorative treatment concept. In addition, evaluation of the long-term outcome of different therapeutical approaches for fixed reconstructions aims at further improving treatment success. In the area of guided bone regeneration he has developed and refined treatment modalities by applying basic experimental research as well as clinical evaluations in patients. A recent focus in the area of bone and soft tissue reconstruction lies on the development of techniques involving growth factors and appropriate carrier materials.
