Dt. Emre Orhon Kuybulu

Dt. Emre Orhon Kuybulu is a dentist in Oral & Dental Health who sees patients in the Dental & Oral Health unit at Acibadem International Hospital in İstanbul. His professional focus is prosthetic dental treatment, including dental prosthetics and treatment planning. He has more than 27 years of experience in dentistry and consults with patients in Turkish and English.

Dt. Kuybulu graduated from Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry in 1999 and completed training in Prosthetic Dental Treatment at Marmara University Health Sciences Institute in 2005. He has been associated with Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2005. Alongside his clinical work, he has co-authored articles in dental journals, including the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry and the International Journal of Prosthodontics, on topics such as all-ceramic restorations, ceromer inlays, porcelain onlays and the testing of fixed prosthetic restorations.

Clinical focus

The core of Dt. Kuybulu’s practice is prosthetic dental treatment: the assessment, planning and provision of dental prosthetics that restore or replace damaged or missing teeth. Treatment planning is a central part of this work. Before any restoration is proposed, the condition of the remaining teeth and supporting tissues is examined so that the options discussed are appropriate for the individual patient. The suitability of a particular type of prosthesis depends on this assessment, and several alternatives may be considered.

His published work reflects the areas he has studied clinically. These include the clinical success of crowns made with all-ceramic systems, the use of all-ceramic restorations to splint periodontally compromised teeth, a prospective clinical study of ceromer inlays followed for up to 53 months, porcelain onlay restorations, and the methodology of fracture tests for fixed prosthetic restorations. He has also written on intraoral photo mirrors used in clinical documentation. Patients should note that the restorations described in these publications are not appropriate in every case and that the choice of treatment is made after examination and discussion.

How Dt. Kuybulu works with international patients

Dt. Kuybulu consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as dental X-rays, panoramic or CT reports, records of previous dental work, laboratory results and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination of the teeth and oral tissues, and a discussion of the prosthetic options that may be considered. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation and existing records before deciding whether to travel; a definitive treatment plan for prosthetic work generally requires an in-person examination.
