Curriculum Vitae

Paul A. Fiechter is a worldwide lecturer engaged in aesthetic dentistry.

Moreover, he explored intensively the natural chewing surface and its function principles.

During the last 20 years, he studied more and more the light-optic phenomenon of teeth. He has been one of the first opinion leaders worldwide understanding and explaining the correlation between fluorescence and opalescence in the natural denture and their importance in the ceramic layer technique.

He shared his knowledge with different dental companies and was able in cooperating with them to develop:

- LFC full ceramic system (Ducera)
- Light dynamic concept (DEGUDENT);
- In close cooperation with Kulzer, he developed the Matrix ceramic sets.

The incorporated ceramic masses interact with changing lighting conditions and produce a natural and lively play of colours.
