Ceramic implantology has been an important part of our work at Center Hočevar for more than a decade. Over the past 12 years, we have gained extensive clinical experience with ceramic implants and followed the development of a field that continues to evolve.
We are now taking the next step by deepening this experience through scientific research.
Dr. Gregor Hočevar is embarking on a PhD focused on ceramic implantology, a programme expected to take approximately three years. His doctoral research will provide an opportunity to explore the field in greater depth and build on the clinical experience that has been an important part of our work for more than 12 years.
From clinical experience to scientific research
At Center Hočevar, ceramic implants are not simply one of several treatment options we offer. For years, we have been continuously expanding our knowledge in ceramic implantology, following developments in the field and bringing our clinical experience into everyday practice.
The PhD is a natural continuation of this journey. It will allow clinical experience to be combined with structured research and contribute to a deeper understanding of ceramic implantology.
Our goal is not simply to follow the development of the field, but to understand it more deeply and contribute to its ongoing development.
What does this mean for our patients?
Starting the PhD programme will not affect the day-to-day work at Center Hočevar. Most of the educational and research commitments will take place at weekends, allowing Dr. Gregor Hočevar to continue his clinical work as usual.
Our focus therefore remains unchanged: providing carefully planned treatment, precise clinical care and long-term support for the oral health of our patients.
At the same time, we are taking the opportunity to explore even more deeply the field of ceramic implantology, which has been part of our work for more than 12 years.
