17th BDIZ EDI Expert Symposium: Risk factor periodontal diseases – Covering a wide field
Anita Wuttke
The classic question – to preserve or to implant? – has been driving dentistry for many years. The topic of the 17th Expert Symposium, “Periodontal disease as a risk factor – tooth preservation or implantology?” not only provided interdisciplinary answers to many open questions but also presented new approaches worth discussing. The symposium – live in Cologne again after the Coronavirus hiatus – was moderated by Prof. Joachim E. Zöller.

European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) – Waiting is not an option
Anita Wuttke
The Medical Device Regulation was on the agenda at the meeting of the Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs Council (EPSCO) in mid-June, where the health ministers of the European member states discussed implementation problems. However, the EU Commission will probably not present any solutions until the end of 2022. “It is a good thing that the EU Commission and the member states are taking the concerns of clinics, doctors and med-tech companies seriously and striving for pragmatic solutions. But: Waiting is not an option! We need concrete solutions and measures now and cannot wait until the EU Commission's next status report in December 2022”, said Dr Marc-Pierre Möll, Managing Director and board member of the powerful German Medical Technology Association (Verband Medizintechnologie, BV-Med), commenting on the outcome of the meeting.

Dentists in German motion pictures – Part 2 and conclusion of the overview of the portrayal of the dental profession in German feature films
Prof. Dr Axel Karenberg
In the mid-1960s, cinema and dentistry were moving in different directions. Dentistry broke new ground with technical innovations such as turbines (about 1965), laser instruments (after 1970) and surgical microscopes (after 1975) [Strübig, 1979]. The film industry had to cope with an increasing number of theatre closures. TV, while not the only culprit, played a major role in this development on both sides of the Iron Curtain. The two German states employed different strategies to support the film industry [Faulstich, 2005; Müller, 2016...

Rehabilitation of a failing central incisor – A periodontal and restorative success formula
Dr Rita Singh, Nepa
Rehabilitation in the anterior zone with implant-supported restorations is a daunting task. Implant-supported rehabilitation in the anterior maxilla requires seamless merging of the resto- ration with the existing gingival architecture. Therefore, prosthetically driven implant placement is of utmost importance in achieving the aesthetic goal. Implant success is not limited to osseointegration alone but is mainly dependent on the aesthetic outcome. Another important factor influencing success of the procedure is the quality of hard and soft tissue available at the time of treatment planning. This periodontal assessment is the crux of aesthetic zone management in cases which require augmentation procedures with immediate implantation...

Immediate implant placement and restoration – a new level of precision
Dr Markus Sperlich and Dr Mathias Sperlich, Germany
Patients increasingly seek shorter and less invasive treatments that minimise physical and psychological limitations. This finding was confirmed by current studies and forward-looking analyses,1 indicating a growing demand for efficient immediate implantological and restorative solutions. Extensive information are now accessible online, so today’s patients are much more aware of existing implant placement and restoration options. In this article, dentists Markus Sperlich and Mathias Sperlich discuss the immediate implantological treatment concept.

Supporting the osseointegration of ceramic implants
Dr Dominik Nischwitz
In traditional oral surgery and implantology, the focus is on implant healing and on the local prerequisites for maintaining or building bone and soft tissue. But our prevailing perspective rarely transcends the oral cavity. Traditionally, we distinguish four potential mechanisms of bone formation: osteoinduction (growth factors), osteoconduction (bone replacement materials as "placeholders”), distraction osteogenesis and guided tissue regeneration (membranes, shell technique, etc.).1

Single-tooth replacement with ceramic implants
Editors
Dental implants have helped to improve quality of life for our patients. The material of choice for implants remains Type IV titanium, whose mechanical and biological properties have been proved.1 Yet, this material is not exempt from complications. Firstly, these metallic implants show aesthetic limitations when used in the anterior region, especially in patients with a thin gingival biotype. Examples are the possible appearance of a metallic margin in case of gingival recession and a greyish discoloration due to translucency of the peri-implant mucosa.2, 3 ...

This follow-up after 12 months concerns the current clinical and radiological condition of a case previously documented in a published report,1 more specifically an implantological treatment in region #12. In summary, endodontic treatment of tooth #12 had failed, the tooth was not worth preserving and it was thus extracted in a minimally invasive manner...

Finding the right time for implant loading
Editors
Today, the trend in implant dentistry is to have a short or no healing period at all before loading the implant. If conditions are not optimal, poor primary stability may increase the risk of implant failure. The Osseo 100 measures implant stability and osseointegration to provide sufficient information to decide when to load an implant. This is particularly important when working with shorter treatment time or managing risk patients...

Immediate implant placement: Better than ever
Editors
With its SKY fast & fixed implant system, bredent paved the way for its international success some 15 years ago. Since then, the company has continuously developed its system together with users. It is not ony a new product, but also a very special and innovative form of therapy: patients who become edentulous can be completely restored with a small number of implants. And this can be done in just one day and with a success rate of over 98 per cent. This is because, in contrast to delayed implantation, immediate implantation preserves the surrounding soft and hard tissue and achieves a correspondingly better osseointegration...

Better now than later: Immediate implant placement in focus
Dr. Armin Nedjat
For patients there is usually no doubt: implants placed directly after an extraction, requiring no separate surgical procedure, are an attractive option. But how does the peri-implant tissue react to immediate implant placement? And how does this technique compare to delayed or late implant placement protocols? We are taking a look at a selection of studies to answer this question.
