Due to the fact, that medical devices and methods of their application are developing, also considering new developments in the nomenclature, the International Implant Foundation had published...

Probing is one of the recognised diagnostic procedures for determining the depths of tooth pockets. For this reason, numerous examiners have also described depth probing as a diagnostic procedure in the area of crestal implants and have used it as an important criterion for...

The human body consists of bones, soft tissue, and fluids. Voids (that is, spaces inside the body that are not filled with any of these components) exist in the oral cavity, the nose and sinuses, and in the airways.

In dental implantology the term “osseointegration” is used to describe a condition in which vital, sufficiently mineralized bone tissue is joined with implant surfaces in a force- and form-fitting way, such that a permanent transfer of forces from different directions becomes...

In an effort to define standardized treatment methods the International Implant Foundation (Munich/Germany) publishes this Consensus Document on 16 clinically successful anchoring techniques for cortico-basal oral implants.

This Consensus document describes only the proven methods, without recommending a specific number of implants per jaw or per segment. It is understood however that the number of implants used will by typically higher compared to treatment plans in conventional dental implantology...

From technical point of view, the concept of treatment associated with the Strategic Implant^® (corticobasal implantology) is identical to the concept of treatments performed during osteosynthesis, maxillofacial traumatology and orthopaedic...

The subdivision into immediately loaded and delayed loaded implants is blurred, as there can be no completely unloaded healing of implants in living humans. Already from the moment of insertion, the implants are loaded at their boundary layers to the living organism, since intraosseous pressures and displacements of bone layers occur with every movement...
