• Sedation techniques (premedication with dormicum, nitrous oxide, intubation anaesthesia)
• Interdisciplinary cooperation with patient documentation in complex cases

The well-being of the patient are always in the main focus by dentistry activities. We plan and treat as minimally interventional as possible, which means that the preservation of the tooth structure and the adjacent oral structures is our focus. We are guided by functional aspects and strive to fulfil demanding aesthetic needs. We care about ensuring that the patient cases correspond to the level of training of our MAS dentists.

In the first year of the MAS, mostly simpler treatments are carried out independently. Our newly employed MAS dentists are intensively introduced to the treatment philosophy of our clinic and to special treatment techniques during a crash course. Cases that are more complex are always planned and co-managed together with a specialist.

For each field of the dental preservation, specialists are available daily to provide advice and assistance. Some of whom have advanced training certificates in the corresponding specialties.

Children and adults are treated in the polyclinic emergency service (Monday to Friday from 8:00am until 11:30am and from 01:00pm until 04:00pm) as well in outside stations. (prisons in Hindelbank and Thorberg and Intervention Centre in St. Johannsen)

The MAS Studies also includes the preparation of a Master's thesis, which should preferably appear as a publication in a high-impact journal. Hereby the MAS dentists are supervised by a habilitated department member in the following research areas:

The clinic research in different fields of the preventative dentistry

• Biomaterials research (Dr. A. Peutzfeldt)
• Endodontology (PD Dr. Wolf)
• Erosion and saliva research (PD Dr. Saads Carvalho, Dr. Baumann)
• Non- and micro-invasive caries treatment (Prof. Dr. Meyer-Lückel, PD Dr. Wierichs)
• Microbiology of caries and caries and nutrition (PD Dr. Tennert)
• Endowed professorship for Oral Epidemiology and Preventive Dentistry (Prof. Dr. Campus)
