implants 03 editorial | 2 2016 Education at its best Responding flexibly to individual and contemporary demands on further education has always been a strength of the DGZI e.V. Thus, we have established various further-education opportunities with the DGZI curriculum, our study groups and the DGZI International Annual Congress, which this year takes place from 30 September to 1 October in Munich—the last Octoberfest weekend. All of those events can be adapted to individual learning demands. At the same time, Europe’s oldest specialist association of dental implantology aims at discovering and trainingnewopinionleaders,whocanprovethemselvesinourDGZIYoungGenerationstudygroupsforthe first time. Only in this way can our society achieve to maintain implantology as a pioneering discipline for modern therapy approaches and technical innovation in dentistry. In this regard, I should also mention the DGZI Implant Dentistry Award, which is granted annual at the DGZI International Annual Congress. This international award, which is endowed with 10,000 Euros, is granted by the DGZI scientific board in order to acknowledge ground-breaking scientific achievements in implantology. Therefore, it is the DGZI’s most important form of honouring which is aimed at all implan- tologists in training who engage themselves in academics and science. The final date for this year’s applica- tions is 30 June 2016. Please contact our headquarters for further information. I would like to end with encouraging you to enjoy reading this latest edition of implants international ­magazine of oral implantology._ Warm regards, Dr Rolf Vollmer First Vice President and Treasurer of the German Association of Dental Implantology Dr Rolf Vollmer 22016
