Bart Vandenberghe

Full C.V.

Bart Vandenberghe obtained his Master degree in Dentistry at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in 2005. He continued his oral imaging training with a Master in Medical Imaging (2007) and a PhD in Medical Sciences (2010) researching 2D and 3D imaging techniques for periodontal diagnosis. For this training, he spent three years in the United States of America as research scholar at Temple University in Philadelphia (2005-2006) and at Tufts University in Boston (2007). Shortly after, he was recruited by the University of Maryland, where he spent more than a year (2007-2008) in the department of Diagnostic Sciences and Pathology as Visiting Assistant Professor.

Bart Vandenberghe was finalist for the Research Award of the International Dentomaxillofacial Radiology Association in 2007 (Beijing, China) and won the second price in 2011 (Hiroshima, Japan). He is author and co-author of numerous international publications as well as reviewer for many international journals and editorial board member of the Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Research. Since 2012 he is member of the central council of the European Academy of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology as chair of the Scientific Committee.

Besides his academic endeavors, he organized a first dental mission for the Tierra Bomba Organization in 2007, where he provided dental care and dental preventive education at the local school on the island of Tierra Bomba, Colombia.

In 2015, he completed several scientific and academic research projects in 3D imaging (Cone Beam) and in the field of CAD/CAM and 3D follow-up at the Department of Prosthetics at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, where he taught and was responsible for the integration of new techniques in the field of digital dentistry.
Currently, he works at Advimago, Centre for Advanced Oral Imaging, which he established in Brussels in 2010 and is active as an international lecturer and in his continuing education centre, Advimago Training Center, where he organizes numerous courses in imaging, digital dentistry and 3D diagnostics for CBCT certification.
