Since 2002, Professor Norbert Kübler is the Head of the Department of Adult and Pediatric Oral, Maxillofacial Surgery and Facial Plastic Surgery at the University Hospital Duesseldorf.
Since 1979 to 1988, he studied medicine and dentistry at the University of Mainz, after which for one year he was engaged in research activity at the University of California in Los Angeles. There he worked together with Prof. Marshall Urist, a researcher of bone morphogenetic proteins. This has significantly influenced the scientific activities of Prof. Kübler. In 1989, Prof. Kübler received a full clinical education in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University Hospital Würzburg (under the guidance of Prof. Jürgen Reuter). In 1994, he received the title of the Medical Specialist, and the next year he was habilitated (subject: "Bone formation by osteoinduction") at the University of Würzburg. He was awarded the Ferdinand Sauerbruch Research Prize for this work. After that, in 1996 he was invited to Japan, where he taught and carried out researches at various universities for several weeks. In 1997, Prof. Kübler received additional qualification in Plastic Surgery, and in 2001 he was appointed as C3 Professor in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Würzburg.
Prof. Kübler performs operations almost every day. He specializes in plastic and reconstructive surgery using microsurgical revascularized soft tissue and bone grafts, tumor surgery, traumatology and surgical treatment of jaw deformities (dysgnathia surgery). Also, the doctor’s clinical interests include dental implantology, aesthetic facial surgery, and computerized surgery using navigation and planning methods.
