Dr. Mert Açıkgöz

I graduated with honours from the Faculty of Dentistry at Istanbul University in 2011. In the same year, I began my doctoral training in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the same faculty.

During my doctoral training, supported by the TÜBİTAK 2214-A scholarship, I participated in observership and visiting researcher programmes at universities in Boston, Washington, Florida and Hong Kong.

Details of the 2019 training programme and qualification will be added after verification against a higher-resolution source.

Between 2020 and 2024, I worked as a lecturer in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Istanbul University’s Faculty of Dentistry. In 2024, I completed the AO CMF Fellowship programme at the University of Florida taking an active role across several disciplines of multidisciplinary surgery.

I am a member of IAOMS, AO-CMF and AÇBİD. My main interests include orthognathic surgery, temporomandibular joint disorders and surgery, advanced implant surgery and reconstruction in atrophic jaws, traumatology and syndromes affecting the jaws.
