Our role Dentistry treats pathologies of the tooth and periodonteum, the tissue that supports the teeth. Orthodontics is concerned with correcting the dental alignment and malocclusions. Image We are dedicated to preserving and promoting buccodental  health by focusing on problems caused by cavities and associated complications. This mission, at the intersection of aesthetics and functionality, is carried out in close cooperation with our colleagues from  stomatology,  ENT, paediatrics and others.  Dr Fairouz Ben Abdelouahed Director of the H.U.B. Interhospital Department of Dentistry and Orthodontics. Our specialities The H.U.B. Interhospital Department of Dentistry and Obstetrics includes several sub-disciplines and specialised consultations that form a synergistic complex:   General operative dentistry is concerned with primary and restorative interventions, covering the conservation and prosthetic aspects of treating cavities, scaling and annual buccodental health check-ups. Orthodontics proposes interceptive protocols, adapted for children and concentrated on the modulation of craniofacial bone growth, as well as conventional or “invisible” treatment for adolescents and adults.     Paediatric dentistry, which bridges the Erasmus Hospital and the HUDERF, proposes dental care for children, including those with specific needs (dental phobias, children with a handicap, etc.). The treatment can be given under conscious sedation or general anaesthetic.   The occlusodontics and orofacial pain consultation is concerned with disorders of the temporomaxillary articulation and pain of non-dental origin which may or may not be associated with headaches and/or sleeping disorders.Endodontics consists of canal treatment (devitalisation) and management of pathologies of the dental pulp.The consultation for cancer patients, in cooperation with doctors from the Jules Bordet Institute, proposes buccodental follow-up before, during and after certain cancer treatment. Prosthetic rehabilitation is engaged in the design, making and fitting of removable  dentures (dentures) or a prostheses  fixed  to a tooth or implant.  The  buccodental hygienists consultation aims to preserve and optimise buccodental health. The emphasis is on therapeutic education and preventive care. Parodontology treats diseases of the gums,  ligament and bone that support the teeth. It proposes surgical methods designed for an aesthetic result, tissue or bone regeneration and crown lengthening. Aesthetic dentistry  aims  to restore and embellish the smile through various interventions, such as dental whitening, the placing of dental facets or the building of bridges and crowns. The emergency consultation, without an appointment, is for the purposes of relieving acute pain (“toothache”) or chronic pain or treating a dental trauma caused by an accident, for example. Implantology : By using advanced surgical techniques and biomimetic materials, this permits the substitution of missing dental roots to provide a solid base for fixed or removable prostheses.   Our team Image Our medical specialists Research The H.U.B. Interhospital Department of Dentistry and Orthodontics initiates and conducts multidisciplinary research projects aimed at further integrating buccodental health in the general panorama of healthcare.  Teaching The H.U.B. Interhospital Department of Dentistry and Orthodontics provides and proposes: clinical training of dental science students ;training as part of complementary master’s programmes in general dentistry and orthodontics and  university diplomas in paediatric dentistry, endodontics and implantology; continuous training in various fields of specialisation. 

Our role Dermatology is the medico-surgical speciality concerned with diseases of the skin, the mucous membranes and integument (hair, nails, body hair). Image Image In addition to dermatological diseases as such, other diseases or certain treatment can also have an impact on skin health. This is why dermatologists often work closely together with other medical or surgical services Pr Véronique Del Marmol Head of the Interhospital Dermatology Department at the H.U.B. Our specialities The H.U.B’s Interhospital Dermatology Department is structured as follows: General dermatology is often the gateway to another specialised consultation.   Paediatric dermatology, which straddles the Erasmus Hospital and the HUDERF, treats all skin diseases in children.   Oncological dermatology, which straddles the Jules Bordet Institute and the Erasmus Hospital, treats all skins cancers (melanoma and others) and skin lymphomas, as well as  dermal toxicities linked to certain cancer treatments. Innovative methods of early diagnosis are also available.    Dermatological emergencies responds to acute and sudden problems. Examples: allergic reaction, zona disease, skin infection, acute diabetic foot, etc.    Chronic sore care (especially sores linked to diabetic foot) is carried out at the Erasmus Medical Center (EMC).  The Allergology Clinic treats  contact allergies, eczema, hives and certain occupational diseases that affect the skin. Its activities are  both diagnostic (patch test, prick test, etc.) and therapeutic. The reference centre for Verneuil’s disease (or hidradenitis suppurativa) is Belgium’s only centre  dedicated to this disease.  It is a part of a European Reference Network (ERN). ***mettre logo ERN + lien vers vidéo*** The skin, hair and hormones consultation is concerned with skin diseases that could have a hormonal origin. Examples: hirsutism, alopecia (hair loss), alopecia areata, stubborn acne, etc.   A dermatologist holds a consultation in gynaecology for diseases  affecting the  female genital mucosa. Examples: vaginal candidiasis, STIs, condyloma, etc.   The consultation dedicated to diseases of the  male genital mucosa. Examples: STIs, condyloma, etc. .  The psoriasis consultation (see dedicated sheet).  The immunity disorders consultation  follows up transplant patients or patients with an innate or acquired immunity disorder that results in skin fragility.   Joint consultations with other specialists are proposed for  Inflammatory diseases (such as psoriatic arthritis), with rheumatology; Auto-immune bullous and systemic diseases of the lupus type, with  internal medicine ; Dermatosurgery with plastic surgery; Dermatopaediatrics with paediatrics; Mucosal diseases with gynaecology. Aesthetic dermatology proposes laser treatment for rosacea and laser CO2 for  dermabrasion treatment.      Our team Image Our specialists Focus The H.U.B’s Interhosptial Dermatology Department is the reference and training centre for non-invasive imaging. By combining a confocal microscope and optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT), it is possible, for example, to see in the epidermis with near-cell resolution. This permits a diagnosis of certain diseases without having to take a skin sample (biopsy).  Image Research The H.U.B’s Interhospital Dermatology Department carries out many clinical and translational research projects. In particular, it helps draw up disease registers   (Verneuil’s disease/ hidradenitis suppurativa, psoriasis, skin cancers, etc.). This provides for a better understanding of their sub-types, their development and response to treatment.
