Paul Goldhaber Distinguished Lecture

Modern implant dentistry in the past 40 years: Research milestones, clinical progress, and current trends 

The Goldhaber Award, Harvard School of Dental Medicine’s (HSDM) highest honor, goes to a recipient of the highest international esteem in their field relating to oral and systemic health. The award was established in 1989 to honor Dr. Paul Goldhaber, a periodontist and researcher, upon completing his 22 years as Dean.  

This year’s recipient, Dr. Daniel Buser is one of the most experienced international implant surgeons with 40 years of surgical experience, and he is one of the pioneers of Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR). The basis of his academic career was a research stay at HSDM from 1989 to 1991. Since then, he has been active with his team at the University of Bern/Switzerland in translational research with countless pre-clinical and clinical studies in implant surfaces, bone augmentation with GBR, bone grafts, and bone substitutes, anatomical studies using CBCT, and long-term documentation of dental implants.
