Editorial: Young minds, new materials: next generation revolution
Dr Marc Balmer, Specialist in Reconstructive Dentistry
No short text aIn dentistry, particularly in implantology, stagnation is not an option. The rapid development of new mate- rials, technologies, and treatment methods requires practitioners to be flexible and committed to contin- uous education. The younger generation of dentists has a unique opportunity—and responsibility—to actively shape this progress. Ceramic implants are an outstanding example of how research, education, and practice can be integrated in a sustainable and forward-thinking way.vailable.

Building up immunological firewalls—How ceramic implants can deliver immune sustainable outcomes and transform overall health
Dr Fabian Schick, Dr Dr Johann Lechner & Dr Florian Notter, Germany
It is well established that diseases like periodontitis and peri-implantitis can have systemic effects on general health.1–4 A key factor may be the compromised barrier function of oral soft tissues, which can allow pathogens to penetrate deeper into the body, triggering systemic inflammatory responses. This may result in an increased concentration of aMMP-8, leading to an elevated rate of tissue degradation. 5 This phenomenon represents a localised immune overload, potentially leading to chronic systemic stress.

Full-arch rehabilitation of the mandible: eight years of follow-up—Stable hard and soft tissue and no peri-implantitis in a compromised patient
Dr Harald Fahrenholz, Austria
A 70-year-old female patient presented requesting general restoration of her mandibular teeth. She had a more than 20-year-old bridge from tooth #34 to tooth #44, teeth #33 and 43 being pontics (Figs. 1 & 2). The patient exhibited failing dentition due to periodontitis marginalis profunda...

Four-year clinical and radiographic follow-up: ceramic vs titanium implant in the aesthetic area
Jaques Luiz, Julia Helena Luiz & Flávia Sukekava, Brazil
Four-year clinical and radiographic follow-up: ceramic vs titanium implant in the aesthetic area Jaques Luiz, Julia Helena Luiz & Flávia Sukekava, Brazil 01 Panoramic image of the patient wearing orthodontic braces and the provisional resin-bonded crown in the position of tooth #21. 01 Abstract This study reports a four-year clinical and radio- graphic follow-up of a single patient treated with screw-retained implant restorations in the aesthetic zone. Eleven years after receiving a titanium implant for the maxillary right central incisor, a two-piece ceramic implant replaced the left central incisor. Follow-up assessments (initial at six months, then yearly) from 2019 to 2023 demonstrated successful outcomes for both implants, with good peri-implant tissue stability. These findings suggest ceramic im- plants may be a viable long-term alternative for patients seeking restorations free of potential metal toxicity concerns...

Impact of periodontitis on systemic health and on implants—Part 2
Profs Curd Bollen, Germany, Paul Tipton, UK & Prof. Gagik Hakobyan, Armenia
As stated in the first article: mouth and health go hand in hand. The oral cavity is the ingress to our entire body. Nutrition enters there, and our teeth masticate the food so that all the alimentary components we need can be released to our complete body.

Pure ceramic rehabilitations: when excellence meets the fundamentals
Dr Gábor Róza & Dr, MSc, PhD Mariane Sordi, Switzerland
In dentistry, the foundation of successful outcomes lies in mastering the fundamentals. When combined with pioneering materials like ceramics, even the simplest treatments can achieve good results. Conversely, complex clinical cases often captivate clinicians with the challenge they present. Therefore, simple cases are sometimes underestimated, leading to undesired outcomes...

Implants without periimplantitis: “My search has come to an end!”
Interview with Dr Fabrice Baudot, France
According to research, every fifth implant patient develops peri-implantitis.1, 2 In this interview, Dr Fabrice Baudot, who is a specialist in minimally invasive surgery based in France and a founding member of the European Academy of Ceramic Implantology—EACim, talks about how his search for a peri-implantitis-free implant system led him to Patent™. Patent™ is the only two-piece implant system worldwide that has been demonstrated in independent studies to prevent peri-implantitis in the long term.
