About

Arjan Vissink is a leading figure in oral and maxillofacial surgery, whose research has profoundly shaped the fields of implant dentistry, salivary gland dysfunction, and digital dental workflows. His major contributions include pioneering the integration of 3D digital technologies into clinical practice, most notably through his highly cited 2016 work on a full digital workflow for multicomponent dental appliances, which has garnered 21 citations and set a new standard for precision and efficiency in prosthodontics. Vissink’s research has also advanced the understanding and management of xerostomia and hyposalivation, particularly in patients with Sjögren’s syndrome or those undergoing radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. With a career spanning over three decades, his work has been cited thousands of times, reflecting its profound impact on both clinical protocols and patient outcomes. Notably, he has been instrumental in developing evidence-based guidelines for the use of salivary substitutes and stimulants, and his collaborative studies on implant survival in compromised bone have influenced surgical practices worldwide. Vissink’s legacy lies in bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and compassionate patient care, making him a pivotal mentor for students and researchers alike.
