Full Professional Biography
Dr Meizi Eliezer is a specialist periodontist, clinician-scientist, and founder of PerioHome in Herzliya, Israel. Her practice is dedicated to advanced periodontal and peri-implant care with special emphasis on gum recession treatment, periodontal plastic surgery, regenerative therapy, and long-term tissue stability.
Her professional profile combines three parallel tracks:
- Specialist clinical care for complex periodontal and soft-tissue cases
- Academic and translational research in regenerative periodontology
- Professional education for dentists through lectures and hands-on training
Academic Formation and Specialist Training
Dr Meizi completed advanced and specialist-level training across both dental medicine and medical science:
- Master of Advanced Studies (MAS), Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, University of Bern, Switzerland
- EFP Certificate of Completion of Specialized Training (CCST), Periodontology and Implant Dentistry
- MSc in Medical Sciences (Pathology Track), Hebrew University Faculty of Medicine
- DMD (Doctoris Medicinae Dentariae), Hebrew University
- BMedSc, Hebrew University
This dual background in clinical dentistry and pathology-driven medical science supports her biologically focused treatment approach.
Clinical Scope and Expertise
At PerioHome, Dr Meizi leads treatment planning and execution for:
- Single and multiple gingival recession defects
- Connective tissue graft and tunnel-based root coverage protocols
- Regenerative therapy for residual periodontal pockets and infrabony defects
- Surgical and non-surgical peri-implant disease management
- Tooth-preservation strategies in high-risk periodontal cases
Her treatment planning is structured around phenotype assessment, defect morphology, risk control, and maintenance feasibility.
Academic Appointments and Teaching
- Visiting periodontology expert appointment at Witten University (Germany)
- International lecturer on recession management, regenerative techniques, and peri-implant soft tissue care
- Course leader for clinically focused educational programs for referring dentists and specialists
Research Leadership
Dr Meizi has served as principal investigator and co-investigator in research focused on periodontal regeneration, adjunctive biomaterials, and real-world translational protocols.
Core research themes include:
- Hyaluronic acid behavior in periodontal and biomaterial healing models
- Root coverage protocol optimization with connective tissue grafts and biologic adjuncts
- Comparative regenerative strategies for periodontal infrabony defects
- Long-term stability and maintenance outcomes in complex periodontal care
Publication Record and Scientific Contributions
Her indexed publication track spans 2013-2024 and includes first-author and collaborative papers in leading periodontal journals. Major themes include biomaterial degradation, inflammation control, and systematic evidence synthesis.
