Hans-Hermann Rebel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans-Hermann Rebel (born March 16, 1889 in Munich , † June 14, 1967 in Tübingen ) was a German dentist and university professor.

Live and act

After attending the humanistic grammar school in Munich, he studied dentistry in Munich from 1910 to 1914 and received his license to practice medicine on June 15, 1914. He then worked until 1921 as the first assistant in the conservation department of the Dental Institute at the University of Munich under Otto Walkhoff . On December 16, 1920 he was one of the first to do his doctorate in Erlangen for the newly created Dr. med. dent. with a paper on the occurrence of a real blastoma in the pulp. On March 1, 1921, he took over the management of the conservation department of the Dental University Institute in Göttingen and completed his habilitation there in 1922 with a thesis on the healing of the exposed pulp. He was appointed deputy director on October 1, 1924, appointed to the chair of dentistry in December and definitively appointed director of the Dental Institute in April 1925. He was also politically active. From 1919 to 1921 he was the first chairman of the Association of Bavarian Dentists in Munich. He was one of the university professors who "recognized from the beginning the importance of eliminating dualism for us and the development of German dentistry ..." From 1925 to 1935 he was editor of the German Monthly Journal for Dentistry .

During his time in Göttingen, in November 1933, Rebel signed the professors' commitment to Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist state at German universities . After the collapse, he tried to regroup the German lecturers in dentistry and in 1946 created the conditions for the establishment of a new association of lecturers as the first chairman of which he was then elected.

In 1947 Rebel was offered a full professorship at the University of Frankfurt, which he refused and instead followed a call to the University of Tübingen that had been in place since 1946. There he gave a brief address on the dentist question and stated, among other things, that for the treatment of people with dental problems, the goal must be that in the near future there will only be dentists with university education. He warmly welcomed the entry into force of the Law on the Practice of Dentistry on March 31, 1952.

Despite the time-related difficulties, he was able to add a department for materials science to his clinic shortly after his appointment and win the young Adolf Knappwost as head of this department. After "Visits from America" ​​in Tübingen in July 1948 had provided information about American fluorine research, as had already happened in Berlin and Heidelberg, research on fluoride effects on teeth with Knappwost also became a research focus at Rebels Institute. Annoyed by an unfortunate formulation in a circular from Hans Joachim Schmidt , however, he attached importance to the statement that he was not a member of the European Working Group for Fluorine Research founded by Schmidt in 1949 . However, Knappwost did not feel included in the statement that the working group was "unknown to us Tübingen" and was present at the founding meeting in Constance in 1953.

Under Rebel's direction, the dental institute in Tübingen was to be converted into a medium-sized teaching and research institute and to enable cooperation with regard to existing connections to France and Switzerland. For two consecutive years, 1949/50 and 1950/51, Rebel was dean of the medical faculty. In 1956 he was elected a member of the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina in the Stomatology Section , and in 1959 he was made an honorary member of the Association for Scientific Dentistry in Stuttgart.

Retired on April 1, 1958, he pursued his scientific work for many years with unbroken physical and mental freshness, wrote overviews of the medical periodicals, as well as book reviews and presentations for the German Dental Journal . He used opportunities to point out his reserved attitude towards the use of fluoride for caries prophylaxis: z. B. the "unexplained toxic evaluation of fluoridation", the "low safety margin of the fluorine compounds," because of which they were not included in the "ordinances of the amendment to the food law", the in his view "excessive fluorine intake" or simply a note, that he was very close to Halfdan Eggers-Lurá's thoughts.

Rebel died on June 14, 1967 after a brief illness.
