Periodontist at Dentum Dental Clinic, Zagreb. This site is a public teaching lab — not a clinic portal, not a product page.

In one glance
Gums carry bite force. They have a blood supply. Planning should treat them like living structure. PerioMechanics puts that claim in public: pictures first, then models, then the essays.
- Patients and referring dentists. Short pages that explain why a gum is not a gasket, and what a plan should still name: load, blood, geometry.
- Students. Six ordered modules with plates. Progress stays in this browser.
- Clinicians and researchers. FEA as a surgical language, PDL perfusion, occlusal vectors, regenerative constraint, peri-implantitis as a mechanical niche. A Semmelweis note for Dr. Dániel Palkovics and Dent.AI.
At the chair
My clinical work is regenerative and implant-related periodontology in Zagreb. The questions I keep at the chair — and that this site teaches in public — are:
- FEA as a surgical modelling language, not a rendering.
- PDL microvasculature and perfusion as constitutive facts.
- Occlusal force as a vector, not a magnitude.
- GTR and regeneration as constrained by defect morphology and load.
- Papilla regeneration as geometry plus a blood supply.
- Peri-implantitis initiation as a mechanical niche, not only a plaque story.
I am not listing a fabricated bibliography. Peer-reviewed papers, when they exist under my name, belong in journals — not invented here for a demo. Field literature cited in the lab (hydro-mechanical PDL coupling; bioheat with periodontal blood flow) is background, not a claim of authorship.
Dentum is the clinic. PerioMechanics is the teaching layer. Dent.AI is a neighbouring effort I would rather complement than imitate.
