Dr Fritz Heitz Specialist Periodontist
The Importance of Periodontics in Implant Dentistry
Periodontitis is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world today. Six decades of research has shown that periodontitis can be treated and maintained predictably using the right approach. The global dental implant market is about 10 million implants sold per year. Thus it is becoming increasingly important to have a good understanding of all aspects of management of patients with periodontitis, with implants, or with both.
Dr Fritz Heitz completed his BDSc (WA) in 1990, and his MDSc in Periodontology (University of Melbourne) in 2000. After a further 3 years postgraduate study at the University of Berne, Switzerland, he received a Diploma in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry (MAS).
In 2006 a Dr Med. Dent. was awarded from the University of Berne for his thesis on post operative wound care. He has contributed to a number of international courses teaching periodontology and implant dentistry, as well as publishing several research papers in the field. Dr Heitz maintains a Specialist Private Periodontal Practice in Perth, Western Australia. He is past state president of ASP and current national ASP president. He has been an ITI Fellow since 2003.
