Funktionslehre

Homework / test German to English Medical Medical: Dentistry Aesthetic and functional dentistry
Hi,

I'm translating a German CV in which the below sentence appears. I'm struggling with Funktionslehre. The target language is US-EN.

Kemptener Förderpreis der Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Funktionslehre

I'm assuming (I couldn't find any information relating the Kemptener awards) they're referring to the dental association here.

Thanks for your help.

functional diagnostics

I agree with the reference, this could refer to funktionsdiagnostik.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Steffen Walter : What matters most here is the "official" English name of the society at the time (see the reference below; admittedly, the English differs from the German name containing "Funktionsdiagnostik"), while your answer is a purely explanatory translation.

https://www.dgfdt.de/uber-die-gesellschaft says that this had been the name of the society until 2002. According to this source, its current name is DGFDT: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Funktionsdiagnostik und -therapie in der Zahn-, Mund und Kieferheilkunde (German Society of Craniomandibular Function and Disorders in the DGZMK). For the DGZMK, see https://www.dgzmk.de/organigramm (including its English name).
