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 ("Bundesländer"), which send their delegates to the Federal Assembly: the supreme decision-taking body of the Bundeszahnärztekammer. The BZÄK Executive Board consist of its President and two Vice-Presidents. The BZÄK Board is composed of the Executive Board as well as the 17 Presidents of the dental chambers of the federal German states (Bundesländer).

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 in the centre of its focus and with the objective of establishing and developing a relationship between dentist and patient without any influence from outside.
