of this new material in our scientific field is not yet fully understood”, the DGZI vice stated. Prof Dr Vollmer is expecting an expansion of the PEEK-use in dental medicine and especially in implantology. Prof. Dr Suheil Boutros (USA), Dr Mario Ro- driguez (Mexico) and Prof. Dr Mazen Tamimi (Jor- dan)spokeaboutsurgicaltopics.Inhispresentation, Prof.DrBoutrosdiscussedcontrolledbone-splitting as a real alternative to complex, expensive and with ahighermorbidityassociatedaugmentationproce- dures. In contrast, his colleague from Jordan, Prof. Dr Tamimi, pointed out the importance of implant keypositionsandespeciallyagooddiagnosisasba- sis for a stringent planning. Dr Wolf Ulrich Mehmke supported this demand in his lecture. The Mexican speaker Dr Rodriguez gave a comprehensive and systematicoverviewaboutaspectsofthebiological and functional integration of implants. _Intensive discussion “We can also have disputes in the DGZI. But if we aredisputing,itisalwaysconstructive.”Thequoteof thenewlyelectedpresidentProf.DrDeppewasfully metbythisyearsPodium“DGZIcontroversial”.After twotalksbyDrDrManfredNiliuswhoisaproponent ofthedigitaldiagnosisandvaluechain,andProf.Dr Dipl.-Ing. Ernst-Jürgen Richter who supports anal- ogous implantology, the two speakers discussed about benefits of both approaches for patient and handler. The discussion “Stone Age Implantology versus Computer Games” was moderated by Dr Bach. Both speakers, Dr Dr Nilius and Prof. Dr Richter, could convincingly prove the legitimacy for both con- cepts. Despite their countless differences, the speakers agreed that future generations of dentists haveaclearaffinitytowardsnewdigitalprocedures and know how to successfully implement them in their daily practice. _Implantological diversity At his opening greeting, Prof. Dr Hille referred to the importance of an intensive exchange of opin- ions, experiences and scientific knowledge. The times when scientific knowledge was exclusively gained by universities has long since passed. This wasimpressivelyprovedbythe“CorporatePodium”. Whether new procedures (as nitrous oxide, aug- mentation with human bone blocks, one- or multi- piece ceramic implants and interim restorations) or proven concepts (as restorations of jaws with ex- treme atrophy)—the Corporate Podium included many practice-relevant insights and take-home messages. At the end of the two-day congress, all partici- pants agreed that the event was a whole success. The date for the upcoming meeting is settled al- ready: On 2 and 3 October 2015, the 45th Annual CongressoftheDGZIwilltakeplaceinWiesbaden._ Fig. 9_Dr Bach moderated the debate “DGZI controversial”.
