Stephan Herrmann studied dentistry at the University of Jena after completing his schooling in Westphalia-Lippe. He is also involved in a joint scientific project with the university to research muscular and cognitive impairments as a result of viral infections.
Mr. Herrmann completed his dental work as a preparatory assistant in a general dental practice in Hamburg with a focus on tooth preservation, periodontology and restorative dentistry with digital restoration techniques. In addition, Mr. Herrmann chose the curriculum Function, Dysfunction, CMD and Pain of the Academy of Practice and Science to deepen his knowledge in diagnostics and therapy in this area of dentistry. He has deepened this knowledge in repeated internships and now works as a dentist at the CMD-Centrum Hamburg-Eppendorf, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of CMD, bruxism and pathological tooth wear.
Dr. Lukasz Katzer also moved to us from the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf. That was actually clear – he was looking for an area of dentistry that was as “medical” as possible. In addition to his dental expertise with a focus on CMD diagnostics and therapy, he therefore completed additional training in dental psychosomatics at the Academy of Practice and Science (APW) of the German Society for Dental, Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine (DGZMK).
Another focus of Dr. Katzer’s expertise is the treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders (snoring, sleep apnoea) – an extremely important and increasingly relevant topic. In addition to extremely invasive operations and breathing masks with ventilation motors, dental occlusal splints are also available for treatment, which adjust the lower jaw to a different position. This type of treatment complies with current guidelines and has been proven to be effective. It requires special knowledge. Special knowledge of CMD should also be added – because the two are often connected. Entrust Dr. Katzer with your healthy sleep – you won’t regret it!

2021 Best Conference Award of the German Society for Functional Diagnostics and Therapy (DGFDT), with PD Dr. Ahlers, ZA Petersen and Prof. Jakstat
Tim Petersen has been working at the CMD Center Hamburg-Eppendorf since 2013. He didn’t have to travel far to get here – he came to us directly from the neighboring University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf. Incidentally, he completed his degree in dentistry with the grade “very good” (1.0). As functional diagnostics is intellectually challenging, it’s no wonder that he chose this area of dentistry. Very good remains very good.
In the years he has worked at the CMD-Centrum Hamburg-Eppendorf, Mr. Petersen has successfully treated a large number of patients – including those with very significant craniomandibular dysfunctions, severe bruxism and considerable tooth wear. This makes him one of the most experienced specialists in dental functional diagnostics and therapy in Germany.
Previously, Mr. Petersen worked in laboratory medicine at the Hamburg Tropical Institute. In addition to his clinical work, he also teaches advanced dental training in the functional diagnostics and therapy curriculum of the Hamburg Dental Association.
In scientific lectures, he presented techniques for measuring the position of the jaw in patients with craniomandibular dysfunctions by combining condylar position analysis with special forms of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the congress of the relevant scientific society, the German Society for Functional Diagnostics and Therapy (DGFDT).
