Executive Profile
Dr Meizi Eliezer is a Swiss-trained specialist periodontist and founder of PerioHome in Herzliya, Israel. Her work integrates advanced clinical periodontology with active academic research, with a strong focus on gum recession surgery, periodontal regeneration, peri-implant disease management, and biologically driven long-term maintenance.
She is known for combining precision microsurgical execution with evidence-led treatment planning, and for translating clinical trial evidence into practical protocols for daily patient care.

Research Leadership and Trial Activity
Dr Meizi has led and co-led research programs examining regenerative biomaterials, collagen membrane behavior in systemic risk conditions, and adjunctive hyaluronic acid protocols in periodontal therapy.
Her current and recent scientific activity includes randomized clinical trial design for:
- Root coverage protocols comparing connective tissue graft with biologic adjuncts
- Regenerative approaches for infrabony periodontal defects
- Translational biomaterial performance in compromised healing models

Clinical Philosophy at PerioHome
PerioHome care is built around a clear sequence:
- Detailed diagnosis and risk stratification
- Biologically appropriate treatment selection
- Microsurgical and regenerative precision when indicated
- Long-term supportive maintenance to protect outcomes
This model supports both patient clarity and reliable communication with referring dentists and international clinicians.
