IDS 2013 has both met and exceeded any expectations implantologists could foster towards the world’s leading international dental exhibition. With more than 15 million implants already inserted in Germany alone and over 800,000 implantations every year, implantology is a regular focal point at IDS and many implantologists are among the visitors...

Ridge augmentation for an atrophied posterior mandible - NanoBone block versus allograft bone block (Part II)
Dr Omar Soliman, Prof. Dr Mohamed Nassar, Ass. Prof. Dr Mahmoud Shakal & Ass. Prof. Dr Eman Mohy El-din Megahed, Egypt
The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical outcome and radiographic bone changes in augmented ridges utilising a synthetic NanoBone block versus an allograft bone block, and to investigate histologically the success of a synthetic NanoBone block versus an allograft bone block for ridge augmentation.

Periodontal regeneration (PR) has provided the practitioner with a more conservative therapeutic strategy for the treatment of infrabony periodontal defects. In fact, PR not only helps reducing periodontal pocket depth (PPD), but it also allows to gain clinical attachment level (CAL) with minimal negative effects on gingival recession (REC), which is particularly important when treating aesthetic areas.

Bisphosphonate therapy and osteonecrosis of the jaw
Johannes D. Bähr, Prof. Dr Dr Peter Stoll & Dr Georg Bach, Germany
Osteonecrosis of the jaw due to bisphosphonate was first described in 2003. The disease is called bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Dental implants are contraindicated for tumour patients under bisphosphonate therapy. In osteoporosis patients with oral bisphosphonate administration (not exceeding three years), however, the risk of developing osteonecrosis is considered to be very low. The following work provides an overview...

Implantology is predominantly a surgical and prosthetic subject area. Its aim is both functional and aesthetic restoration. Today, one can place an implant in the jawbone with a high probability of success if there is good bone support. There are, however, concerns with regard to bone defects, optimum aesthetic and functional positioning of the implant and the soft-tissue situation, possible requiring partial reconstruction. The ideal number of implants for large superstructures is still a matter of debate...

Implant-supported rehabilitation after radiation therapy
Dr Umut Baysal, Dr Arzu Tuna & Dr Rainer Valentin, Germany
The restoration of the masticatory function after therapy of malign tumours of the head and neck is of great importance for the social reintegration of oncological patients. Especially their localisation in the head-and-neck area poses high psychological and psychosocial demands on the patient. The following article gives insight into latest therapeutic successes as well as a patient case from the author’s practice...

When damage to dentition is too severe for restorative treatment to be feasible, conventional dentures have been the treatment of choice. Conventional dentures, however, can be foul smelling and uncomfortable.1 Additionally, jawbone resorption causes the dentures to become loose over time requiring readjustment of the jaw to ensure a proper fit.2 ...

The 35th International Dental Show (IDS) posted record-setting results when it closed on Saturday, 16 March 2013, after five days in Cologne. The world's leading dental trade fair attracted 125,000 trade visitors from 149 countries. That figure represents an increase of six per cent compared to the previous event. Records were also set in terms of the number of exhibitors and the occupied exhibition area...

From 2 to 4 May, Monaco was the backdrop for the fourth International Osteology Symposium. The annual symposium has become established as one of the key series of congresses on oral regeneration in recent years. The event once again linked scientific expertise to specific practical needs and furthermore marked the tenth anniversary of the Osteology Foundation. As a result, 2,700 participants from around the world were drawn to this international platform on bone and tissue regeneration...
