Prof. Dr. med. dent. Stefan Wolfart is Director of the Clinic for Prosthodontics and Biomaterials of the University Hospital RWTH Aachen, and holder of the eponymous Chair of the Faculty of Medicine at the RWTH Aachen University.
After his graduation from the Philipps University of Marburg (degree in Dental Medicine 1995, Dr. med. dent. 1998), he joined an independent practice near Cologne (1997). He then worked as a research assistant at the Department of Prosthodontics, Propaedeutics and Dental Materials at the Schleswig-Holstein University Hospital, Campus Kiel (1998–2008), where he was appointed senior resident in 2000. In 2001, he was certified as a “Specialist in Prosthodontics” by the German Society for Prosthetic Dentistry and Biomaterials. In May 2006, he gained his postdoctoral teaching qualification (“Habilitation”), and in October 2008 was appointed to the tenured Professorship in Prosthodontics and Biomaterials at the Faculty of Medicine at the RWTH Aachen University. Dental implantology and implant prosthodontics have been his primary areas of clinical activity for many years. Prof. Wolfart’s main areas of research, apart from implantology and implant prosthodontics, include dental esthetics, the clinical performance of new all-ceramic materials, and their associated improvement in quality of life.
He is a board-certified implantologist of the German Society of Implantology
(DGI) and an ITI Fellow (International Team for Implantology).
In 2014, his book “Implant Prosthetics – A Patient-Oriented Concept” was published by Quintessence Publishing. It has since been published in English and six other languages. In October 2023, the 2nd edition of the book was published in German as a two-volume work.
