Behnam Shakibaie studied dentistry at the Humboldt University in Berlin from 1993 to 1998, where he discovered his passion for oral surgery at an early stage.
Consequently, he completed his specialization as an oral surgeon in 2003 and at the same time his doctoral thesis in the departments of oral surgery at the Humboldt University in Berlin and the Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms University in Bonn.
During his one-year working period as oral surgeon in London, Zurich and Dubai, he came up with the first innovative ideas for minimizing surgical trauma during implantological procedures by starting to use the operating microscope for this purpose.
A short time later, in his own specialist clinic for implantology and periodontology in Rheda-Wiedenbrueck (Germany), where he worked from 2005 to 2010, his ideas began to take shape.
With industrial support, he developed numerous new instruments and surgical techniques for microscopic and microsurgical implantology and published them in leading scientific journals.
In 2010, he was the first dentist in the world to scientifically describe the systematic use of the operating microscope in oral implantology.
His further extraordinary pioneering achievements to date include the new development and scientific publication of the microscope-guided open sinus lift technique, the microscope-guided closed sinus lift technique, the microscope-guided tooth extraction technique, the microscope-guided socket preservation technique and the microscope-guided rolling flap technique, for which he has received prestigious international scientific awards.
Shakibaie, who has been practicing in Tehran since 2012, was officially invited to become a research partner of the world-leading universities of Pennsylvania and Michigan in the USA in 2019, where he designs and leads scientific projects and innovations in the fields of implant microsurgery and microscopic dentistry.
As a result of this partnership, Dr. Shakibaie and his US research team set a new world record last year by scientifically publishing 5 novel treatment methods in a special field of dentistry in 5 different highly recognized journals within one calendar year.
Currently, Dr. Shakibaie’s Academy of Microscopic and Digital Dentistry is being prepared in Dubai, a globally unique project that will bring postgraduate students, researchers and patients from all over the world to the United Arab Emirates.
