10TH IAOCI WORLD CONGRESS  

Ceramic Implants: A New Reality in Ceramic Implantology 

AUG 19-21, 2021 

Paris Las Vegas, Resort & Casino, Nevada, United States 

TOPIC: 16 Years of All-Ceramic Zirconia-Based Implants 

A retrospective evaluation of the data from more than 5,000 ceramic implants inserted from 2006 to 2020 a look into the future with a new implant design 

SPEAKER: Holger Scholz, med. dent 

Course Description  

In Germany from 1975 the so-called “Tübinger Implantat” made of high-purity sintered aluminium oxide was used. However, this ceramic did not have sufficient breaking and bending strength and long-term stability, so that the implants were withdrawn from the market. The newer generation of ceramic implants available from various companies from 2004 initially consisted of TZP (tetragonal zirconia polycrystal) or its variants and is still used today. Since 2007, another generation of ceramic implants with improved material properties made of ATZ (aluminium toughened zirconia) has also been available. In the Dental Clinic Constance, we only inserted ceramic implants from 2007 and now have the experience of more than 15 years and more than 5,000 ceramic implants. Based on this experience, the lecture gives a well-founded assessment of the possible indications for ceramic implants and the expected success rates. The lecture clarifies the currently established indications and gives an insight into the possibilities of metal-free implantology within the framework of biological dentistry. The experiences range from single tooth implants to complex implantological solutions and show the paradigm shift in implantology through the possibilities of biological dentistry.  

Learning Objectives  

The focus of implantology has evolved from a mechanistic to a biological thinking due to the possibilities that ceramics offer.
Biological and digital dentistry are the appropriate answer to increasingly complex challenges in the field of tension between health and economic efficiency.
The design of ceramic implants has changed based on 15 years of experience.
