Goethe University <strong>Dental</strong> Clinic<br />
A visionary leader<br />
Dr. Paul Weigl is an inventor and an educator. In fact, one can call him an<br />
innovation champion. Here, he shares with publications director, Jamie Tan,<br />
what his passion stands for and his vision as a leader.<br />
Wh en he was an<br />
undergraduate in<br />
Munich, Germany, in<br />
1981, Dr. Paul Weigl saw<br />
how edentulous cases<br />
could be transformed with the help of<br />
prosthodontics.<br />
He thought to himself, “This is the future,”<br />
which sealed his decision to specialise in<br />
implants.<br />
Upon graduation, Dr. Weigl wanted to seek<br />
answers to issues that dental practitioners<br />
were facing, “When you work in a dental<br />
clinic, your focus is the patients and the<br />
economic situation. You’ll not have the time<br />
to develop new therapy concepts.”<br />
And so, he took the leap into academia,<br />
which today sees him as the head of<br />
Department of Postgraduate Education<br />
& programme director of Master in Oral<br />
Dr. Paul Weigl<br />
Implantology at Goethe <strong>Dental</strong> School in<br />
Frankfurt, Germany.<br />
