Pr Sami SANDHAUS

Professor Sami Sandhaus is Director of the Forum Sévelin and President of honour and founder of the International Society for Oral Rehabilitation. He awarded in 1959 with the diploma of medicine and dentistry, by the University of Düsseldorf, followed a specialization in dentistry and maxilla-facial surgery at the Paris Ⅵ University, under the guidance of Professor Deschaume. He has dedicated his life to research and especially to innovation in the field of oral implantology. His works are based on the execution of implants which do not release oxides in the osseous tissues, as metallic implants do. The first ceramic implant of Prof. Sandhaus came to light in 1960: It was the CBS implant (Crystalline B one S crew) made of aluminium oxide. A career based on teaching, research and on the achievement of high-quality techniques and instrumentation (more than 75 original inventions), this is the scientific evolution of Professor Sandhaus. He dedicated 13 years of his life to teaching at the Fortbildung Institute of Karlsruhe in Germany, and from 1985 he has been a professor at the Pierre and Marie Curie University, Paris Ⅵ, the Dentistry and Maxilla-Facial Institute. Let's not forget the many conferences given throughout the world, from Japan to the United States, passing through all the European countries, accompanied every time by practical and surgical demonstrations of bioceramic implants.
