Ann Wenzel Receives the Bagger-Sørensen Prize 2025
Professor Emeritus Ann Wenzel from the Department of Dentistry and Oral Health has been awarded the Bagger-Sørensen Prize 2025. She is being honoured for her groundbreaking and internationally recognised research into the use of imaging techniques for diseases of the teeth, mouth, and face.
For more than four decades, Ann Wenzel has been a driving force in the development of oral radiology, establishing it as an independent field of research. Her work spans imaging methods from traditional X-ray films to today’s advanced CT and MRI scans, and she has documented when conventional 2D radiographs versus advanced 3D scans are most appropriate for the patient.
Ann Wenzel’s work has led to international guidelines for the use of CBCT scanning in dental practice and has contributed to the development of research-based dental education both in Denmark and internationally.
The Bagger-Sørensen Prize is worth DKK 1 million. Half is awarded as a personal honorary gift, while the other half must be used within the recipient’s research field. The prize is awarded annually to a Danish researcher for work of the highest international standard.
