The Bundeszahnärztekammer
The Bundeszahnärztekammer (BZÄK, Arbeitsgemeinschaft der deutschen Zahnärztekammern e.V.) is the German Dental Association. It is the professional representation of all German dentists at federal level. Members of BZÄK are the dental chambers of the federal states ("Länder"), which send delegates to the Federal Assembly, the supreme decision-taking body of the Bundeszahnärztekammer. The Presidents of the dental chambers of the federal German states (Bundesländer) form the BZÄK-Board together with the President and the Vice-presidents.
The Bundeszahnärztekammer represents the health-political and professional interests of the dentists. Its supreme mission is to strive for a liberal future-orientated health care system with the patient as centre of its efforts and objectives in the dental field and with the objective of establishing and developing a relationship between dentist and patient without any influence from outside.
