Arndt Guentsch

Dr. Arndt Guentsch is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Surgical & Diagnostic Sciences at Marquette University School of Dentistry. He holds a D.M.D. (2001), Ph.D. (2011), and M.H.B.A. (2013) from German institutions. His research spans periodontics, dental implantology, digital dentistry, biomaterials, and oral surgery.

• D.M.D., 2001, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Germany
• Ph.D., 2011, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Germany
• M.H.B.A., 2013, Friedrich-Alexander-University Nuremberg, Germany

Guentsch's work focuses on periodontal disease pathogenesis and treatment, guided implant surgery, and advanced dental material testing. His studies include finite element analyses of tooth load capacity, comparative wear resistance of dental veneers, and antimicrobial-loaded polymers for biofilm inhibition. He contributes to clinical education methodologies and surgical technique evaluations.

His recent publications highlight innovations in static surgical guides, biomaterial performance, and biofilm management. While no specific awards are listed, his board certification by the German Society of Periodontology underscores clinical expertise. Guentsch's research bridges clinical practice and material science, emphasizing precision in implantology and periodontal care.

Collaborative projects include randomized controlled trials on psychiatric patient oral care, midfacial fracture outcomes, and biomimetic mineralization. He utilizes advanced analytical techniques like Raman spectroscopy and EDX for dental tissue studies, maintaining affiliations with Marquette University since 2023.
