In Germany, a formal “Focus of Professional Activities” (FPA) is an official designation and an indication of a narrower area of specialization 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.

The bone core technique: reconstructing peri-implant bone defects using minimally invasive autologous bone augmentation
Dr Alexander Zastera, MSc and Prof Dr Fouad Khoury
Gentle preparation of the implant site and the harvesting of bone from the site using minimally invasive trephine burs are basic prerequisites for the predictable augmentation of alveolar ridge defects using the autologous bone core technique. Pilot drilling is performed with a two-piece trephine bur to harvest the maximum amount of bone for augmentation. Advantages include reduced morbidity due to the elimination of an additional donor site, reduced treatment time, and no need for membranes or foreign-material substitutes. As an autologous augmentation technique, the bone core technique is (as known as carot technique) characterized by a high osteoconductive, osteoinductive and osteogenic potential. Autologous bone grafts remain the gold standard in dental implantology due to their biological advantages.

Extra-short (6.5 and 7.5 mm) single-tooth implants rehabilitated using single-tooth transepithelial with a crown-to-implant ratio 2
Dr Eduardo Anitua DDS, Spain
Nowadays, we can rehabilitate the majority of cases that come to our practice requesting a type of treatment using dental implants. This is mainly due to major advances in implant design, which have enabled implants of smaller length or diameter to be adapted to any clinical situation, and to improve regenerative surgical techniques for those situations where they are necessary.1,2

Dr. Dirk U. Duddeck, DDS.
In the search for the causes of peri-implant bone loss, poor oral hygiene, smoking, pre-existing diseases, or existing periodontitis are often identified. A largely neglected factor that may influence an implant's short- and long-term survival is likely to be factory-related particulate and film-like contaminants on the sterile implant surface.

What role does the choice between two-piece implants with conical and non-conical internal connections play?
Andreas Halamoda
Since the first dental implant consensus conference a good 40 years ago, the development of modern implantology has been impressive, both scientifically thanks to the discovery of the biocompatibility of the titanium surface and economically: the number of dental implants placed in Germany has risen from 400,000 per year around 20 years ago to an estimated 1.3 mil- lion today—and the upwards trend is stable. Over the years, not only has an independent, innovation-driven industry developed, but also established global competitors in the dental industry want to participate in this solid market...
