Editorial: The year 2023 is drawing to a close
Christian Berger, President BDIZ EDI
Dear colleagues, The good news is that COVID-19 is largely contained and the WHO does not expect any pandemic outbreaks this winter. However, we should be aware that we will continue to have to live with mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus—just like with the flu virus. The bad news is that the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) continues to be a source of confusion, incomprehension and, dare I say, incompetence on the part of the regulators...

Are you certified yet? “Focus of Professional Activities: Oral Implantology”
EB
In Germany, a formal “Focus of Professional Activities” (FPA) is an official designation and an indication of a narrower area of specialisation of a professional—in our case, a dentist. The BDIZ EDI was instrumental in obtaining a ruling from the Federal Constitutional Court in 2001, to establish the “Focus of Professional Activities: Oral Implantology” (Tätigkeitsschwerpunkt Implantologie) as a legally permissibledesignation on practice nameplates or other information material aimed at the general public. This article outlines the requirements for an FPA: Oral Implantology.

How much medicine does dentistry need? Interview with Markus Tröltzsch and Matthias Tröltzsch, maxillofacial surgeons in Ansbach, Germany
Interview with Markus Tröltzsch and Matthias Tröltzsch
Medicine and dentistry must be more closely meshed—say two young oral and maxillofacial surgeons from Ansbach, Germany. Not enough general medical knowledge is present in our dental practices today—and conversely, general practitioners and medical specialists know too little about dental medicine. Dr Dr Markus Tröltzsch and PD Dr Dr Matthias Tröltzsch are two of the three authors of a reference volume entitled Medizin in der täglichen zahnärztlichen Praxis (“Medicine in Daily Dental Practice”). In a number of free-standing chapters, their book presents fundamental facts about cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, bisphosphonates and oncological topics. By popular demand we again include this interview for the second time in EDI Journal.

Free disclosure of medical records—European Court of Justice undermines German Law
Moritz Wagner, Researchassistant Ratajczak & Partner mbB
In his decision (C-307/22) dated 26 October 2023, the European Court of Justice (ECJ), following a referral from the German Federal Court of Justice (BGH), has ruled that a patient is entitled to the free (!) disclosure of a copy of their medical records. This has thus far been foreign to German law, as the German legislator, in section 630g (2) sentence 2 of the Civil Code (BGB), stipulates that the patient is obliged to reimburse the person providing treatment for the costs incurred in this regard.

Ceramic Healing Abutments: the fi rst step to harmonious soft-tissue healing
Author
These healing abutments for Straumann bone level implants enable aesthetics from the day of surgery and offer favourable conditions for soft-tissue attachment, thereby supporting a healthy peri-implant environ- ment. Their well-proven zirconia material helps surgeons and prosthodontists who are looking for less plaque attachment (smoother surface compared to titanium) and they support soft-tissue healing from the day of surgery. In general, more favour- able soft-tissue attachment around zirconia than around titanium can be observed, with blood circulation similar to that around a natural tooth, as well as a more mature and pronounced soft-tissue integration. This comes with an ease of use entailing aspiration security thanks to the integrated screw and a colour-coding to clearly identify the corresponding prosthetic platform...
