Interested in learning about the successful use of ceramic dental implants and gaining knowledge and experience from experienced instructors? Watch the moderated live surgery by Dr. Andre Chen and Dr. Jens Tartsch during the opening event of the first ESCI Training Center in Lisbon, Portugal (April 22-23, 2022).
Dr. Andre Chen performed a live surgery using the Straumann® Pure 2-piece ceramic implant for a single-tooth reconstruction in the lower molar area. The male patient lost this tooth six years ago, leaving him with a tooth gap presenting enough good-quality bone for implant treatment. The surgery was planned digitally with the Straumann® coDiagnostiX® software and performed with guided surgery. A transgingival healing treatment protocol was chosen with a ceramic healing abutment for favorable soft tissue attachment. The ceramic implant promises to give patients good esthetic results while being easy to place and ensuring long-term stability.
The ESCI objective is to establish zirconium dioxide as a reliable material in dental implantology on a scientific and evidence-based basis. Ceramic implants are currently one of the fastest growing, most research-intensive and innovative areas in dentistry. To this end, the ESCI establishes certified and quality-oriented training and internship centers throughout Europe. Users should be given the opportunity to become familiar with the material zirconium and to learn how to handle ceramic implants on a scientific and clinical basis in a fundamental and comprehensive way. The training centers have been selected and certified by the ESCI Scientific Advisory Board (“ESCI certified Training and Education Center”). In accordance with the ESCI philosophy, guidelines and content are established as the “framework” for training in the centers. The aim is to ensure a uniform level of knowledge of the participants after completion of the courses.
The European Society for Ceramic Implantology (ESCI) serves as a powerful lobby for ceramic dental implants. A strong community of scientifically recognized and renowned specialists, interested and motivated members from dental practices and universities, strong and quality-oriented company partners, as well as intensive cooperation with other professional societies … all committed to one goal: “The scientific production and dissemination of evidence-based and well-founded knowledge about dental ceramic implants for the benefit of our patients”.
