When the idea for this magazine was first presented at the IDS 2017, it was not yet foreseeable that in the months leading up to the first publication in fall 2017 the developments of the ceramic implant market would yet be speeding up. Numerous dental businesses were introducing new or newly acquired ceramic implant systems. The first publication of ceramic implants—international magazine of ceramic implant technology thus occurred in a highly sensitive environment and consequently received much attention...

Current demographic prognoses show that the proportion of elderly (population of 60 and above) will increase strongly in all developed and underdeveloped countries worldwide by 2050 (Fig. 1). This naturally results in an increasing stress on the global health system. One of the stressors that dentists can focus on is dental health, specifically regarding implants (Table 1)...

Analogous therapy for guided regeneration of lamellar bone tissue
Dr Karl Ulrich Volz, Prof. Dr Dr Ralf Smeets, Dr Martin Chares, Dr Stefan König MSc., Dr Dominik Nischwitz, Dr Alexander Neubauer, Sabine Hutfilz, ZÄ Clara Esquinazi & ZA Paul Kilanowski, Germany & Switzerland
Regarding bone formation, the regeneration of lost bone substance follows indisputable biological laws. The creation of cavities through so-called space makers in combination with the building of a blood clot within, has been a wellknown procedure for guided bone regeneration for a long time. Due to growth factors in platelet-derived alphagranula there is a fast incrementation of blood vessels in the blood clot, followed by a fast bone regeneration through callus formation. 1–3 ...

Full-ceramic systems have been successfully established in the field of dental technology as well as in oral surgery. 1 The necessity of being able to offer patients metal-free res - torations has continuously increased in recent years. 2 Owing to a genuine two-piece design, the newer generation of ceramic implants allows for successful restoration concepts similar to titanium implants. The reconstruction of an edentulous space in the upper jaw with simultaneous, transcrestal sinus floor elevation by using three CERALOG® implants will be described in the following case report...

It is tru e, titanium was the gold standard in oral implantology for many years, however time is changing and so are our patients’ needs and demands. High aesthetic standards and increasing incidences of titanium sensitivities along with a rising demand for metal-free reconstructions have led to the search for an alternative material...

A 39-year-old female patient of good general health attended our practice for a consultation. She came from a small town approximately 70 km from our practice and had found out beforehand via the Internet which dentist in the area offered ceramic implants. The patient was prepared to make the long trip to reach us because she was worried that the apicectomy proposed by her own dentist would once again involve introducing new foreign material (sealing material for the apical closure of the root canals) into the bone. She had thus decided on having the root-filled teeth and associated metal-ceramic crowns, as well as the periapical granulomas, removed. She clearly and unequivocally communicated her desire for ceramic implants.

Dr Sammy Noumbissi has been practicing implantology for many years, specialising mainly on the use of ceramic implants. In 2011, Dr Noumbissi founded the International Academy of Ceramic Implantology (IAOCI), an organisation dedicated exclusively to ceramic and metalfree al- ternatives to metal implants. In an interview with Georg Isbaner, editorial manager of ceramic implants , the IAOCI founder and president spoke about how he entered ceramic implant dentistry and how he approaches tita- nium versus ceramic and future challenges.
