About the Author

Dr Ueli Grunder graduated in 1982 from the Dental Institute of the University of Zurich and received his doctorate degree (Dr med dent) in 1984. After working for two years in private practice, he completed a three-year Postgraduate Masters Degree program in Crown and Bridge, Partial Dentures and Materials Science under the tutelage of Professor P. Scharer at the University of Zurich, where he has taught dental implantology since 1987. Dr Grunder was accredited as a Reconstructive Dentistry Specialist (SSRD specialist status) in 1993, and has held a WBA Postgraduate Education Diploma in Oral Implantology from the Swiss Dental Association since 2011. He runs a private practice in Zollikon-Zurich, Switzerland, with Dr Gaberthuel from 1989 to 2014, and with Drs Schneider and Jung since 2014. Dr Grunder's main fields of activity include Esthetic Periodontology, Fixed Crown and Bridge Prosthetics, and Implantology. His international lectures and various publications focus on surgical and prosthetic aspects of dental implantology. Dr Grunder is Past-President of the Swiss Society of Oral Implantology (SGI) and the European Academy of Esthetic Dentistry (EAED). He also works as a reviewer for several dental journals.
