Editorial: Celebrating 40 Years of DGZI in Berlin
Dr med dent Roland Hille, President of the Consensus Conference for Implantology
Nobody could have imagined in 1970 what a success story oral implantology would turn out to be, when seven dentists, headed by Prof Dr Hans L Grafelmann, a dentist from Bremen, founded DGZI. In spite of various negative opinions, mainly from universities, this then-adventurous therapy was established in Germany against the mainstream, thanks to a great deal of perseverance and conviction, an incredible drive and much operative skill. There were a growing number of colleagues who were fascinated by the possibility of fixing dental prostheses on implanted new dental roots, a process which could give patients the feeling of no longer being handicapped...

Depending on the anatomical situation, the lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve may be one, or perhaps the only, solution to manufacture a fixed prosthesis for a patient with a free-end situation. This article describes the surgical technique used to minimize probable risks...

Review and two case reports: Piezoelectric repositioning of the inferior alveolar nerveReview and two case reports
Dr Burghard Peter, Austria
In cases of moderate to severe atrophy in edentulous posterior areas of the lower jaw, diminished bone height between the alveolar crest and the mandibular canal may preclude placement of even the shortest implants. Repositioning of the inferior alveolar nerve has proven to be an excellent alternative to augmentation procedures. Especially in conjunction with piezosurgery the lateral nerve transposition provides a viable, reliable and relatively secure surgical procedure...

Prosthetic restoration of an edentulous mandible: Success without using cementProsthetic restoration of an edentulous mandible
Dr Christoph Thiemann, Friedrich Schotsch, Germany
The laboratory manufacturing of single-part laser corrected and implant-supported telescopic abutments—not a very difficult task to undertake. In the following we would like to explain the advantages of this cement-free method, as well as the related method for bite registration-supported individual implant dental impression...

A clinical study: Comparing various implant designs and surfacesA clinical study
Dr Roy Leshem1, David Leshem2, Israel
A clinical study of various types of Hi-Tec Implants (Herzlia, Israel)—uncoated titanium thread implants & push-in cylinder implants, coated with either TPS or hydroxyapatite (HA) surfaces, used by a surgical team in various surgical procedures. The purpose of the study was to find whether the design or coating of implants has any effect on the success rate and integration of the implant in different procedures. The study did not indicate any statistical significance in the success rate of the different implants in the different types of procedures: simple implantology, sinus lift procedures, bone augmentation and immediate extraction sites...

As the only Europe-wide standardised assessment of implant-based therapy, the certificate will provide a benchmark for assessing knowledge and skills. The first candidates to participate in the new certification scheme will undergo their final examinations in Glasgow just prior to the awards ceremony. They will be questioned about six case studies they have submitted and will be required to demonstrate knowledge of theoretical and clinical implant based therapy. This includes basic knowledge of anatomy, pathology, biomechanics, physiology, histology, applied dental materials, applied pharmacology, radiology and biostatistics...
