Andre Schroeder Research Prize winners 2020

We are happy to announce the winners of the 2020 André Schroeder Research Prizes. Stefan Roehling and his co-authors won the preclinical prize for their publication on Ligature-Induced Peri-Implant Bone Loss Around Loaded Zirconia and Titanium Implants, and Jae-Kook Cha and his co-authors the clinical prize for their publication on Alveolar ridge preservation in the posterior maxilla reduces vertical dimensional change: A randomized controlled clinical trial. The ITI congratulates both teams for their outstanding work! Originally, the award ceremony was planned for the ITI World Symposium 2020 in Singapore but will now take place at the ITI Congress Brazil 2021 from March 11-13 in Foz do Iguaçu.

One of the most prestigious awards in dentistry, the André Schroeder Research Prize serves to promote new scientific findings in implant dentistry and related fields. This annual award was established in 1992 and is presented by the ITI in honor of the late Professor André Schroeder (1918-2004), the founding ITI President, who pioneered implant dentistry and whose lifework contributed significantly to modern dentistry.

Would you like to follow in the footsteps of Stefan Roehling, Jae-Kook Cha and all the other winners and take up the chance to win this prestigious award?  Then don’t wait any longer and apply for the 2021 André Schroeder Research Prizes before the application deadline on September 15, 2020.

When precision meets empathy: patient-centered care in implant dentistry

Technical excellence alone does not define success in implant dentistry. While dental implants are a predictable and well-established treatment option, the best clinical solution is not always the one that aligns with a patient’s values, concerns, or expectations. This article explores the growing importance of patient-centered care, highlighting how shared decision-making, empathetic communication, and an understanding of patients’ psychological and social needs can improve both treatment experiences and long-term outcomes. By placing the individual—not just the implant—at the centre of care, clinicians can deliver treatment that is both scientifically sound and genuinely meaningful.

Clinical guidance for the integration of restorative and surgical demands: Practical insights from daily implant practice

Implant therapy is most predictable when surgical and restorative planning work together from the very beginning. This article explores how decisions made during one phase directly influence the other, affecting esthetics, function, maintenance, biomechanics, and long-term success. Through practical clinical insights, discover why interdisciplinary planning is essential for achieving predictable, patient-centered outcomes in daily implant practice.
