The demand for metal-free, biocompatible and aesthetic implants is constantly increasing – a demand that is perfectly met by the material zirconia. The fact that ceramics have long since ceased to be a mere trend and have developed into a real alternative to titanium due to its many advantages is underpinned by the lively research interest in this field.
With this in mind, the second issue of ceramic implants in 2023 provides information on the latest, particularly exciting developments in ceramic implantology.
The article by Dr Dumitru Gogarnoiu and colleagues presents an individually root analog implant, which was created with 3D printing and scanning technology. Another article shows the complete maxilla restoration with ceramic implants.
An interview with Dr Shepard Delong focusses on the development and progress of artificial intelligence in ceramic implantology, especially the use of robotic surgery.
In addition, the magazine contains a follow-up report on the 3rd Joint Congress for Ceramic Implantology in Kreuzlingen/Switzerland as well as exciting new product presentations.

In issue 3-2023 of the magazine implants, Dr Johann Lechner & colleagues are featured with a technical article on the topic of “Immune sustainability on titanium implants?”:
Bone-to-implant contact (BIC) is considered an essential requisite for implant stability and clinical success. The death of local bone marrow cells due to chronic stimulation as a result of unfavourable factors such as inflammation of the jawbone leads possibly to chronic osteoimmune dysregulation. Bone marrow defects of the jaw (BMDJ) surrounding dental titanium implants (Ti-Impl), in combination with impaired BIC, are difficult to detect in X-rays and have thus been little researched. Recent research shows that Ti-Impl can induce inflammation in the surrounding bone over time. Can alveolar bone decay possibly induce local osteoimmune reactions? In earlier publications we defined this chronic inflammatory process as fatty-degenerative osteonecrosis (FDOJ/BMDJ) connected to chronic overexpression of proinflammatory cytokine RANTES/CCL5. FDOJ/BMDJ is a lesion also primarily defined as “bone marrow edema” or as silent or subclinical inflammation without the typical signs of acute inflammation (Fig. 1). Is an undetected transition existing from diminished bone-to-implant contact (BIC) to hitherto neglected osteonecrosis? This opens up a new case in implantology:
The long-term immune sustainability of dental implants
Osseointegration, defined as “functional ankylosis” between implant and jawbone, is the primary treatment objective in implantology. Osseointegration is the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of a load-bearing artificial implant. Successful osseointegration occurs where new bone is deposited directly at the bone–implant interface and the implant exhibits mechanical stability. Figure 2 explains a diminished osseointegration in three steps: ideal theory, the radiographic display and the actual reduced BIC, converted to FDOJ/BMDJ.
The connection of incomplete BIC to osteoimmune inflammation
However, what if this BIC does not take place over the entire surface of the implant? In those areas where osseointegration is impaired, chronic inflammation may occur […]

With a multifaceted and high-caliber program, the congress in sunny Munich was once again able to inspire numerous participants for the trendy topic of ceramic implants.
Under the guiding theme “Ceramic Implants meets Aesthetics”, the 7th Annual Meeting of the International Society of Metal Free Implantology e.V. (ISMI) took place in Munich on May 5 and 6, 2023. Under the scientific direction of Dr. Karl Ulrich Volz/Kreuzlingen (CH) and Dr. Dominik Nischwitz/Tübingen, the congress offered participants an enormously multi-layered, varied and top-class program on the topic of ceramic implants and also highlighted biological aspects of metal-free implantology. For the first time ever, the ISMI Annual Conference was held as a joint venture together with the German Society for Cosmetic Dentistry (DGKZ) and thus also offered ample opportunity for interdisciplinary exchange.
The first day of the congress was opened under the motto “Zirconia in General Dentistry and Implantology – Where do we stand and what are the prospects?” by ISMI President Dr. Volz, Vice President Dr. Nischwitz and DGKZ Board Member Dr. Martin Jörgens/Düsseldorf. After Dr. Alessandro Alan Porporati/Plochingen presented the basics, material and technology of zirconium vs. metal-ceramics in his lecture, Priv.-Doz. Dr. Kristian Kniha/Munich vividly explained the esthetic potential of ceramic implants. Subsequently, Dr. Dr. Johann Lechner/Munich spoke about osteo-immunology and implant success with ceramics in comparison with titanium.
After the lunch break, which was used extensively for a visit to the accompanying industrial exhibition and collegial discussions, the pre-congress symposium including a surgical tutorial continued directly. Dr. Volz explained in detail how the error rate in the use of ceramic implants can be reduced and gave an overview of what ceramics can do, where the limits lie and what good complication management looks like.
Afterwards, the participants had ample opportunity to discuss various special topics in implantology and esthetic dentistry with proven experts and to look beyond their own horizons at the popular Table Clinics. At the same time, a workshop on the collection and preparation of autologous blood concentrates with Prof. Dr. Dr. Shahram Ghanaati/Frankfurt am Main offered dental practice teams the opportunity to get up to speed on this increasingly important topic and to gain practical experience during the hands-on part.
The first day of the congress was brought to a successful conclusion with a get-together in the industrial exhibition, where all participants enjoyed a relaxed evening with wine, music and, of course, lively discussions.
Prof. Ghanaati opened the main congress on Saturday with his lecture on biologization in implantology and oral surgery and gave an overview of the current state of affairs. “1-piece versus 2-piece ceramic implants – Which to choose?” – this question was addressed by Prof. Dr. Curd Bollen/Roosteren (NL), who explained their differences and advantages and disadvantages. Dr. Alexander Sobiegalla/Hemsbach then showed how to design the digital workflow with both systems. The following lectures of the panel, which included Prof. Dr. Dr. Ralf Smeets/Hamburg, Dr. Ralf Masur/Bad Wörishofen and Dr. Tobias Wilck/Hamburg, were also dedicated to various aspects of metal-free implantology and at the same time raised critical questions about the topic. In addition, ISMI Vice President Dr. Nischwitz also spoke about the fusion of high-tech dentistry with functional medicine and health optimization as “Biological Dentistry 2.0”. Basically, according to the tenor of Dr. Wilck’s closing lecture, ceramic implants are an important building block for health optimization in the event of tooth loss.
The 7th Annual Meeting of ISMI ended with a concluding discussion, sending the numerous enthusiastic participants off into the sunny Saturday afternoon. Once again, ISMI underlined its relevance in the world of implantology despite its comparatively young age.
Save the Date: The 8th Annual Meeting of ISMI will take place in Hamburg on May 4/5, 2024. Interested parties should already note the date in their calendars and can register for the program at event@oemus-media.de.

As we approach the end of 2022, we look forward to a new year with new challenges and goals. It is therefore appropriate to look at the state of ceramic implants and their future. The emergence of zirconia implant technologies represents a dynamic aspect for the modern practice of surgical and/or prosthetic dental implants. With their growing share of the global dental implant market, their numerous advantages over titanium can no longer be overlooked. For savvy clinicians who embrace this newer technology, the future looks incredibly bright!
With this in mind, the new issue of ceramic implants provides information on the latest, particularly exciting developments in ceramic implantology. With interdisciplinary research articles and a wealth of clinical case reports from implantologists around the world, the current magazine inspires with its user-oriented presentation of different therapeutic approaches and provides relevant food for thought for daily implantology practice.
In the article by Dr. Michael Rak, in collaboration with dental technicians Arbnor Saraci, Lukas Wichnalek and Norbert Wichnalek, a case is used to illustrate how a patient’s health was restored with the help of ceramic implants made of zirconia and metal-free dentures.
The close interaction between oral and chronic physical diseases also lies in the holistic and interdisciplinary treatment approach of Dr Thomas Franke from Berlin. In the interview, he explains why he follows a biological treatment approach in implant treatment that takes the entire organism into account.
In addition, the hot-off-the-press magazine contains numerous other research articles, case reports and product news as well as exciting news from the world of dentistry. Detailed event reports on the JCCI and ESCI annual congresses also testify to an extraordinarily active community.
