The University Medical Center has 1,500 beds and treats more than 350,000 patients each year. The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery treats more than 1,500 patients in-house and 10,000 outpatients annually and is located inside the Dental School with more than 600 dental students. It offers the full range of treatment in this specialist area for both out- and inpatients (dental implantology, dental surgery, traumatology, treatment of malformations, oncology). Clinical and scientific expertise in the field of implant dentistry has been part of our daily work for more than 30 years, with more than 1,000 implants placed annually. Patients often require the full spectrum of orofacial rehabilitation. This ranges from tumor or cleft palate rehabilitation in conjunction with major osteoplastic procedures (conventional, microvascular and distraction techniques) to esthetically challenging single-tooth replacements. All rehabilitation concepts are planned and carried out in close cooperation with the Department of Prosthetic Dentistry (Prof. Dr. Abou-Ayash). Digital workflow facilities (including a 3D printer) are routinely used in cooperation with the prosthodontic department. Basic research is performed in our histologic and cell laboratory in the field of bone substitutes and biomaterial-cell interaction. Questions relating to microscopy and analysis are tackled in cooperation with the BiomaTiCS university focus program. We are also involved in clinical research including animal models and clinical trials according to GCP. The university offers an international Master in Personalised Implantology and Periodontology, as well as an MD-PhD program (TransMed)."},{"acf_fc_layout":"highlight_people_3","title":"Scholarship Center Chair","items":[{"image":6720,"position":"Scholarship Center Chair","name":"Prof. Dr. Dr. Bilal Al-Nawas","location":"Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery"},{"image":6719,"position":"Scholarship Center Co-Chair","name":"Prof. Dr. Dr. Peer W.
