Virtual digital technologies had only been an option in the past but have now become a fixed aspect of dental treatments in the present.” Accordingly, the tradi- tional discussion panel CONTROVERSIAL DGZI in- vited dentists and dental technicians to present their respective rehabilitation approaches and problem-solving techniques under the headline “The edentulous upper jaw—How can the best pos- sible solution be achieved”. As the new DGZI qualification “Dental Technol- ogy and Implantology” was awarded for the first time this year, Prof. Hille emphasised that dental technicians have played “a major role in the success storyofimplantologyinGermany”while,morethan everbefore,theyhaveto demonstrateandhighlight their skills, qualifications and areas of expertise as competitiongrows.Incooperationwiththetraining centre FUNDAMENTAL, DGZI fulfils this demand with its new quality label. Prof. Hille is convinced that graduates will excel at work due in their new, future-oriented qualifications. In order to achieve this qualification, graduates have to have gained a minimumofthreeyearsofexperienceinthefieldof implant prosthetics, including at least 150 pros- thetic restorations of implants or 70 implant cases.

As if taking the audience on a short road trip around the world, DGZI Vice President Prof. (CAI) Dr Rolf Vollmer expounded upon the society’s various international relations and activities. In his position as visiting professor of the Cairo University (2008), he has built many international ties and relation- ships over the years and has also formed a concise European network with countries such as Croatia, Ireland or Georgia. Among the DGZI’s most renowned partners are the US-based Academy of OsseointegrationandtheAmericanAcademyofIm- plant Dentistry.
