Rikke Ginger Mentz

Rikke Ginger Mentz serves as a Senior Clinical Instructor in the Department of Odontology at the University of Copenhagen, actively contributing to the Postgraduate Programme in Orthodontics with clinical instruction and research leadership.

Her research spans Orthodontics, Craniofacial Biology, Dental Diagnostics, and Genetics in Dentistry, emphasizing diagnostic methodologies for adult orthodontic treatment and craniofacial anomalies in genetic disorders. Utilizing radiographic analysis, she investigates developmental patterns in syndromes like trisomy 18 and Turner syndrome, bridging clinical practice with fundamental craniofacial research.

Recent publications demonstrate a dual focus: advancing adult orthodontic diagnostics through systematic reviews and exploring genetic syndrome biomarkers via postmortem radiographic studies. This work highlights clinical applicability while contributing to foundational knowledge in craniofacial development.
