Dr. Pascal Magne ist vor kurzem als Direktor des Center for Education and Research in Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry (CER BRD) zum Beverly Hills Dental Lab gewechselt, nachdem er eine lange und herausragende Karriere in der zahnmedizinischen Lehre und Forschung zurückgelegt hat. Nach Abschluss seines Studiums der Zahnmedizin an der Universität Genf im Jahr 1989 wurde ihm eine Stelle als Dozent an der zahnmedizinischen Fakultät angeboten, während er gleichzeitig praktizierte und sich in festsitzender Prothetik und anderen technischen Fertigkeiten weiterbildete. Parallel dazu promovierte er 1992 (DMD) und 2002 (Ph.D.), letzteres in Verbindung mit der Mitarbeit an dem Buch Bonded Porcelain Restorations in the Anterior Dentition: A Biomimetic Approach mit seinem Mentor, Professor Urs Belser, welches in 12 Sprachen übersetzt wurde. „Das biomimetische Prinzip bezieht sich auf den Einsatz von Technologie und Dentalmaterialien, um die Struktur und Funktion der Zähne zu erhalten und nachzubilden“, erklärt er.

Von 1997 bis 1999 forschte er an der University of Minnesota School of Dentistry an zahnmedizinischen Innovationen, bevor er nach Genf zurückkehrte. Seine Forschungsergebnisse wurden in zahlreichen Fachzeitschriften veröffentlicht und mit Preisen ausgezeichnet.

Bereits vor dem Abschluss seines Zahnmedizinstudiums war Dr. Magne von den beeindruckenden Fotos der naturgetreuen Keramikrestaurationen seines älteren Bruders Michel fasziniert, der als Zahntechniker in einer Zahnarztpraxis arbeitete. 1991 begann Pascal mit Claude Sieber zusammenzuarbeiten, der ein neues, von Vita entwickeltes Keramikmaterial verwendete. Das war der Wendepunkt. „Zum ersten Mal konnte ich die Keramik eines Meisters im Mund meiner eigenen Patienten sehen“, sagt er.

Im Jahr 2004 wurde Pascal als Don und Sybil Harrington Professor für ästhetische Zahnmedizin an die Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, University of Southern California berufen. Während seiner Amtszeit an der Ostrow School of Dentistry hat Dr. Magne eine Vielzahl von Lehrplaninnovationen in den Bereichen Biomimetik, minimalinvasive Zahnmedizin und Klebetechniken vorangetrieben. Seine wissenschaftliche Tätigkeit brachte über 100 von Experten begutachtete wissenschaftliche Beiträge und über 200 Fortbildungsprogramme im In- und Ausland hervor. Als vorklinischer Leiter (2012-2020) des Moduls Zahnmedizinische Morphologie, Funktion und Ästhetik in Ostrow hat Dr. Magne außerdem einen innovativen Ansatz für die Lehre der zahnmedizinischen Anatomie und Morphologie entwickelt.

Im Jahr 2021 veröffentlichte Dr. Magne die zweite Auflage seines Bestsellers mit dem Titel Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry. Es ist bereits in mehrere Sprachen übersetzt worden. Nach 33 Jahren in der akademischen Welt hat Dr. Magne im Jahr 2022 die spannende Möglichkeit der CER BRD-Fortbildungsprogramme, angeboten vom Beverly Hills Dental Laboratory, begeistert angenommen.
