Research and insight

Sharing knowledge with the profession

It is no surprise that our clinicians contribute regularly to some of the leading dental journals and publications, sharing their research, opinions and insight.

Much of Prof Mehl's work is collaborative, published with colleagues including Prof M. Kern and Dr S. Harder across implant prosthodontics, adhesive dentistry and the science of osseointegration.

Peer review

Reviewing the field, not only publishing in it

Standing in a specialty is measured by more than your own papers.

Alongside his own research, Prof Christian Mehl serves as a peer reviewer for the International Journal of Prosthodontics, one of the leading journals in the field. Assessing the studies other clinicians submit for publication is a mark of standing in a specialty, and it keeps the care we give anchored to what the evidence genuinely supports.
