Scientific career

The work or research interests Eugen Cheerful were the rubber vulcanization, malocclusion (the term "malocclusion" has been introduced in 1954 by Cheerful in Tübingen), the pre-prosthetic surgery, oral flaps , the oral surgery , the stove Done , intraoral radiography, prosthesis preparation , oral cavity carcinomas , Jaw cysts and apical and marginal periodontitis .

In Tübingen, Fröhlich played a key role in the construction of a new dental clinic. During his tenure as full professor, three further professorships (conservative, prosthetic and orthodontic dentistry) were set up in the dental clinic there at his instigation. Fröhlich was very committed to the reputation of dentistry as an academic subject and to further scientific training.
