Overview

Udo Seedorf is a researcher affiliated with Universität Hamburg in Germany, focusing predominantly on dentistry and medicine. Their work extensively covers periodontics as the primary subfield, along with research contributions in surgery, general health professions, physiology, and epidemiology.

Their research topics are centered on oral microbiology and periodontitis research, dental health and care utilization, peripheral artery disease management, health literacy and information accessibility, salivary gland disorders and functions, infective endocarditis diagnosis and management, and oral health pathology and treatment.

Seedorf has published multiple papers in notable scientific venues. Recent publications include:

  • Oral Health Literacy in Migrant and Ethnic Minority Populations: A Systematic Review (2021) in Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health
  • Evidence from the Hamburg City Health Study - association between education and periodontitis (2022) in BMC Public Health
  • The association between coffee consumption and periodontitis: a cross-sectional study of a northern German population (2021) in Clinical Oral Investigations
  • Periodontitis, dental plaque, and atrial fibrillation in the Hamburg City Health Study (2021) in PLoS ONE
  • Cross-sectional analysis of the association of periodontitis with carotid intima media thickness and atherosclerotic plaque in the Hamburg City health study (2022) in Journal of Periodontal Research

Seedorf frequently publishes in venues such as:

  • International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
  • BMC Public Health
  • Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health
  • Clinical Oral Investigations
  • PLoS ONE

The scientist collaborates closely with several coauthors including Ghazal Aarabi, Carolin Walther, Guido Heydecke, Katrin Borof, and Thomas Beikler.
