Hugo de Bruyn

Prof. Hugo de Bruyn is a Full Professor in the Department of Periodontology at the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA). He concurrently holds an ancillary position as Medewerker at Universiteit Gent from September 2023 to May 2026. His research focuses on implant medicine, peri-implant bone loss, and long-term outcomes of dental implant treatments. Key areas include overdentures, implant surface roughness effects, and surgical techniques like guided implant placement.

Research interests emphasize clinical studies on implant failure risk factors, peri-implantitis prevention, and comparative analyses of surgical approaches (e.g., flap vs. flapless). His work integrates both observational cohort studies and randomized controlled trials to evaluate clinical outcomes, including survival rates and mucosal health.

Prof. de Bruyn has published extensively on implant dentistry, with recent studies focusing on 10-year retrospective analyses, 7-year follow-ups, and long-term cohort observations. Collaborations span institutions in Belgium and the Netherlands, addressing topics like osteolysis, maxillary implants, and complications management.
