Sinus lift and simultaneous insertion of dental implants with a residual bone height less than 5 mm
Sinus lift with simultaneous placement of dental implants is commonly performed on residual maxillary sinus floors with more than 5mm vertical height. There is a risk of implant failure in situations with less residual bone (5mm) due to initial mobility during healing. » read full article
Morphological evaluation of circular osteotomies by two different trephine bur systems in vitro
The harvesting of bone grafts with trephine burs plays an important role in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The integrity of the bone graft and the local donor site should be preserved as much as possible. The aim of this study was therefore a comparative in vitro study of the bone donor site after cylindrical osteotomy with a standard trephine and a diamond hollow drill. » read full article

JOURNAL OF DENTAL IMPLANTOLOGY
The Journal of Dental Implantology (Zeitschrift für Zahnärztliche Implantologie, ZZI) is the most widely circulated journal for scientific implantology in Germany. All articles on this website are taken from the ZZI. It is the official publication of the German Society of Implantology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Implnatologie, DGI). The DGI is the largest German implantological association an also the largest in Europe. In 2005, ZZI also became the official publication of the Austrian Society of Implantology (Österreichische Gesellschaft für Implantologie in der Zahn-, Mund- und Kieferheilkunde, ÖGI). ZZI publishes peer-reviewed scientific articles as well as articles with a more practical orientation.
Dental implantology is a field of dentistry that has developed and grown explosively over the past few years. Thanks to new materials and new implant shapes and procedures, dental implantology has spread widely. Successful and broadbased research performed in Switzerland, Austria and Germany has made the German-speaking countries global leaders in this specialist field.
