Pierfrancesco Bertolaso - Italy

I have always thought that the rule for success was simplicity and in my profession I have often had to reaffirm it.

When I met Klaus more than 20 years ago, I saw him at work while he was handling the matter with simplicity, smiling jokingly.

He took more interest in the people next to him than they took of his hands working to create teeth.

Perhaps everyone overlooked a simple but strict method of producing extremely natural ceramic crowns.

I have attended many courses with him.
He used different materials and often I watched him while he was touching the ceramic materials, sometimes with enthusiasm and sometimes not.

Over time, I always wondered why with so much love for the profession, and so much effort to understand subtle characteristics and so much experience in materials, he had not made the most of this by creating his own material originating from a life of study, experience and love.

I am very happy for you dear friend Klaus as you have turned your love for the profession into matter.
