Clinic of Conservative and Preventive Dentistry
Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Thomas Attin, Clinic Director:
"We specialize in the preservation of healthy teeth and the restoration of damaged teeth. In order to treat our patients as thoroughly and gently as possible, we use microscopes for many treatments.
One of our main tasks is the prevention and treatment of caries. We use modern, tooth-colored filling materials, but we can also reconstruct entire dental crowns with laboratory-made workpieces. We are particularly proud of a technology we have developed that enables us to rebuild even severely caries-damaged teeth using computer-aided manufacturing of dental restorations.
Another clinical focus in our clinic is the treatment of advanced diseases of the periodontium (periodontitis). The aim of the treatment is to heal inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and permanently reduce or completely eliminate dental pockets. The spectrum of our treatment methods ranges from professional dental hygiene to surgical procedures.
If the so-called dental pulp inside of the tooth is damaged, our specialists carry out root canal treatments. Thanks to their special training and experience, they can carry out the most difficult treatments. This includes saving teeth following complications from a former root canal treatment, and tooth-preserving surgical procedures.
We can also competently treat patients with special conditions such as saliva reduction (xerostomia) and tooth damage due to eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia)."
