Dr Panikos Yiannikos devoted his life to dentistry, beginning his professional journey in 1965.

A graduate of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, he completed postgraduate training at Eastman Dental Hospital in London in 1974. His clinical expertise focused on prosthodontics, including partial and full-mouth rehabilitation, and gerontology, with a particular commitment to improving the oral health and quality of life of older patients.

He served as Director of the Dental Department at Nicosia General Hospital before founding Dental Polyclinic Yiannikou in 1991, where he worked alongside his daughter, Dr Anna Maria Yiannikos.

His dedication established the foundations of what would become Yiannikos Centre for Holistic Dentistry.

In July 2024, he passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of clinical excellence, professional integrity and genuine care for his patients.

“If I could choose again, I would still become a dentist. My greatest pride, however, is seeing the continuation of this work through my daughter.”

Dr Anna Maria Yiannikos graduated from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in 1990 and has devoted more than three decades to clinical dentistry, with particular expertise in dental lasers, aesthetic dentistry and biological dental care.
In 2006, she completed her MSc in Lasers in Dentistry at RWTH Aachen University, Germany, becoming one of the first dentists in Europe to earn this qualification.
That same year, she received the Golden Award for clinical research in dental lasers at the International Society for Laser Dentistry Congress in Berlin.
Her commitment to advancing laser dentistry led to the establishment of AALZ Cyprus, the first international franchise of AALZ Germany, supporting postgraduate education and professional training in dental laser technology.
Since 2008, she has contributed to postgraduate laser dentistry education at RWTH Aachen University. She also teaches postgraduate laser dentistry at Sigmund Freud University in Vienna, and she is the official representative of Cyprus to the International Society for Laser Dentistry (ISLD).
Her academic and clinical interests extend to the interaction between dental materials and human biology. She holds an MSc in Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and has completed advanced education in aesthetic dentistry, including the Master Clinician Programme at the University of California, Los Angeles.
In 2017, she became the first dentist in Cyprus to receive certification in the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) from the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). She is also IAOMT Accredited.
Under her leadership, Yiannikos Centre for Holistic Dentistry became the first dental clinic in Cyprus to achieve dual certification under ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 in 2011.
Dr Yiannikos has presented her clinical work at European and international dental congresses and contributed to Laser International Magazine, published by Oemus Media in Germany.
She is pursuing doctoral research at the University of Nicosia, focusing on the oral microbiome under the academic supervision of Assistant Professor Myrtani Pieri.
Today, she leads Yiannikos Centre for Holistic Dentistry in Nicosia and Limassol, combining clinical experience, scientific knowledge and carefully selected technology with a commitment to individualised, evidence-informed dental care.
Her guiding principle remains simple: preserve what is healthy, understand what is necessary and treat every patient as an individual.
