Dr. M. Delarue earned his D.D.S. and master's in Oral Surgery from the University of Reims following 4 years of full-time post-doctoral training. In 2021, he worked full-time for 3 years as a Clinical Lecturer in the Department of Oral Surgery and Implantology at the University Hospitals of Strasbourg. His clinical expertise includes implantology, impacted teeth, orthodontic surgeries, and oral mucosal diseases. He currently operates a private practice exclusively dedicated to implantology.
Dr. Esquenet earned his D.D.S. degree at the University of Strasbourg. Then, he earned his master’s in Dentofacial Orthopedics after 3 years of full-time post-doctoral training at the University of Strasbourg. He is now working in private practice in France and Switzerland. He has held the position of clinical instructor in the department of Dento-Facial Orthopedics since November 1st, 2022.
Dr. Rafflenbeul earned his D.D.S. degree and master’s in Dentofacial Orthopedics after 3 years of full-time post-doctoral training from the University of Strasbourg. In 2017, he started working in private practice in France and Switzerland, concurrently to his position as assistant at the Department of Dentofacial Orthopedics (2018-2022). Currently, he is involved in postgraduate teaching through his lecturer position. Dr. Rafflenbeul’s main interests in orthodontics are impacted teeth, 3D imaging, and orthodontic retention and stability.
Since graduating from the Diplôme d'Études Spécialisées en Médecine Bucco-Dentaire, Dr. Catherine Petit's career has followed a hospital-university approach. During this extensive third cycle of her odontological studies, she elected to concentrate her practice on periodontology, thereby enhancing her clinical and scientific abilities by attaining the Diplôme Universitaire de parodontologie clinique and the Certificat d'Études Spécifiques en parodontologie. During this period, she participated in numerous clinical research protocols conducted within the Strasbourg periodontology department. This afforded her the opportunity to assess a range of innovative periodontal tools and therapeutics with the aim of enhancing patient care. Her research activity within INSERM Unit 1260, Regenerative Nanomedicine, is centered upon the design of pharmacological strategies and the development of biomaterials that facilitate the nano-controlled delivery of active anti-inflammatory or pro-resolving molecules to sites affected by periodontal destruction. This work has already resulted in several publications and has the long-term prospect of developing gels that can be offered for clinical application. Additionally, Dr. Catherine Petit is engaged in the field of medical pedagogy as it pertains to periodontology. Notably, she has been instrumental in integrating novel forms of simulation-based learning into the curriculum for graduate students in dentistry.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Naji Kharouf; D.D.S. M.Sc. D.U. D.U. Ph.D. H.D.R, is currently Associate Professor and has a master's degree in Biomaterials for Health, a Microsurgical Diploma, an Esthetic of Smile Diploma, a PhD in bioceramics and endodontic materials, a post-doc in dental materials, and an H.D.R. in dental materials modified with graphene.
