Pr Mariano SANZ ALONSO

I obtained a Medical Degree at the University Complutense of Madrid (UCM)
(1981) and later a Specialty in Stomatology (1983) and a Doctorate in Medicine
(PhD) at the same university (1985). Then, I moved to UCLA (USA) to specialize
in Periodontology (1988) and returned to UCM to become a Professor of
Periodontology (1989). Since then, I have held the position of Chairman of
Periodontology, Director of the ETEP (etiology and therapy of periodontal and
peri-implant diseases) Research Group, and Chairman of the Postgraduate
Periodontology (EFP-accredited Perio Specialty Program).


I am also a Professor type II at the University of Oslo. I have received five
honorary doctorate degrees from the Universities of Goteborg (Sweden),
Coimbra (Portugal), San Sebastian (Santiago de Chile), the University of
Buenos Aires (Argentina), and the Medical University of Warsaw.


I am the past Dean of UCM and past President of the Spanish Society of
Periodontology, The European Federation of Periodontology, and the European
Federation of the IADR. I have published more than 400 scientific publications
(ORCID # 0000-0002-6293-5755) (h-index 71), and I am an international
lecturer in topics related to Periodontology, Implant Dentistry, and Dental
Education.
