The award ceremony 2022
Last Saturday the Dentaprime dental clinic awarded its “Future of Dentistry Award @Dentaprime”. This year the accolade, along with €3000, goes to Tara Groß from the Clinic for Restorative Dentistry and Paradontology at Freiburg University Hospital in Breisgau. The dentist accepted the award on the 22nd October in the port town of Varna on the Bulgarian coast of the Black Sea.
“In order to make treatments in dentistry safer and more efficient, we as a dental clinic are also dependent on constant research and development,” says Dr Ivan Peev, chair of the panel who presented the award. “To support this, the ‘Future of Dentistry Award @Dentaprime’ was created.”
The event took place in the Boris Georgiev Art Gallery in the centre of Varna. As well as an exciting programme of events relating to dental implantology, the prize winner Tara Groß presented her work, which she completed as part of her dental doctorate. The expert panel were impressed with her research on the topic of “Biomechanical modulation of stem cells from dental pulp”.
“The impressive results demonstrate the possibilities of stem cell transplants for pulp regeneration,” says Dr Peev. In the future this could lead not only to new research approaches, but also better treatment results.
