Professor Adi Rachmiel, DMD, PhD, is Head and Director of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department at Rambam Health Care Campus. Professor Rachmiel is also a Clinical Professor at the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.
Professor Rachmiel’s career began at Rambam in 1985. He subsequently completed a fellowship in cranio-maxillofacial surgery at Providence Hospital in Michigan, USA under Professor I.T. Jackson. He also completed a PhD at the Technion on “Characterization of membranous bone regeneration following osteotomy and gradual distraction. Effect of TGF-β on the osteogenesis process.”
Deeply interested in bone formation during distraction osteogenesis, using growth factors to improve osteogenesis, and managing obstructive sleep apnea, Professor Rachmiel’s clinical focus extends to several related areas. These include management of oral and maxillofacial deformities; orthognathic surgery; cleft palate surgery; facial trauma; alveolar ridge reconstruction; distraction osteogenesis and the influence of growth factors to improve osteogenesis; treatment of benign and malignant tumors of the oral cavity and jaws; obstructive sleep apnea in children and adults; and the use of integrated 3D imaging methods for evaluating the etiology of obstructions and innovative surgical planning to lengthen the jaws. Professor Rachmiel is a pioneer in the development of this latter methodology for use in research and clinical practice.
A member of and Israeli representative to the European Association of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery (EACMFS), and a member of the International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Professor Rachmiel is also an AOCMF Davos instructor. In this latter role, he educates the next generation of specialists on manufacturing and designing implants for facial bone repair and reconstruction.
Professor Rachmiel has published over 180 articles and several book chapters in international literature. In addition, he is a popular invited lecturer to numerous national and international conferences, particularly for plenary and symposium lectures in his fields of expertise.
