Fritz Jung
Fritz Jung (born June 7, 1903 in Neurode / Silesia; † May 28, 1981 in Mainz ) was a German dentist and professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz specializing in prosthetics and orthodontics .
Youth and education
Fritz Jung was born as the first of three children to dentist Josef Jung and his wife Selma (née Herzig). After graduating from the Humanistic Gymnasium in Glatz , he studied dentistry from 1922 to 1926 in Breslau , Würzburg and again in Breslau. Here he passed his state examination with the grade “very good” in 1926 in the clinic headed by Euler. As a scientific assistant to Karl Greve, he worked at the clinic from 1926 to 1928 , where he did his doctorate on the prosthetic topic “Investigations on investment materials” with the rating “ Magna cum laude ”.
Professional background
After a year as an assistant in Switzerland in 1929, Jung settled in Neurode in 1930. He was drafted into the military in 1943. He was assigned to the Department of Jaw and Facial Injuries of the Breslau IV Reserve Hospital, where he took over the orthopedic and prosthetic treatment of patients with fractures of the jaw and facial skull. After the end of the war he worked at the State Hospital for the Disabled for Jaw and Face Wounds in Mindelheim until 1948. He then followed Martin Herrmann's request to support him in setting up the newly founded clinic at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz and took over the development of a prosthetic and orthodontic department. After completing his habilitation in 1949 , Jung was offered a full professorship at the Dental University Institute at the Humboldt University in Berlin in 1952 , which he refused so as not to interrupt the crucial development phase in Mainz. In the same year he was appointed associate professor and a short time later as scheduled professor. In 1963 he took over the directorate of the old clinic on Saarstrasse, which he held for the benefit of the Mainz clinic until his retirement in 1971. From 1964 to 1973 Jung was director of the clinic and polyclinic for dental, oral and maxillary diseases at Augustusplatz in Mainz.
plant
Jung published numerous articles on problems in dental prosthetics and materials science, orthodontics, the treatment of jaw fractures and surgical prosthetics. His name is associated with the mainly function-oriented results of his investigations into the elasticity of the skeletal parts of the dentition system, which for the first time conveyed knowledge about this sub-area, which is still of practical, clinical and scientific importance to this day.
