Specialized Dentist with extensive academic teaching experience and numerous academic publications. After spending 18 years at Istanbul University in various teaching positions, I became the Founder and first Chair of the Prosthodontic Department of a new Dental School at Okan University. This position has provided me the opportunity to establish a very innovative and modern preclinical prosthetic dentistry education, which I believe is the most efficient and instructive education program in the country. In the new era of my life, where I moved to Germany, I had the chance to deepen my professional knowledge in entering the field of periodontology and tripodize my career in implantology.
