During his time at the Viennese University Dental Clinic he developed a particular interest in splint therapy and electronic recording of TMJ function. During his surgical training he covered the entire range of open and endoscopic maxillofacial surgery.

Not only does he perform surgery in Vienna, but also in university clinics all over the world as a guest professor.
