He is also on the editorial board of several international scientific journals. Dr. Dietschi is an internationally acclaimed speaker and has given hundreds of lectures worldwide.


In addition to 20 years of clinical experience in practicing and teaching Adhesive & Aesthetic Dentistry, Dr. Dietschi has thoroughly studied the fundamental and clinical aspects of adhesive restorations. His PhD and Privat-Docent degrees allows him to base his teaching on strong scientific background and to translate complex research data into what is clinically relevant, which makes his programs unique. In addition, Dr. Dietschi is using a "state of the art" wide screen format for his lectures featuring superb clinical photography and high resolution video-footage using an operatory microscope so that you do not miss any detail of the innovative techniques he presents.
