Science, friends, and innovation characterized this year's European Congress for Ceramic Implant Dentistry of the European Society for Ceramic Implantology (ESCI). For me, as president of the ESCI, it was also a very special event. In Zurich, we not only celebrated 60 years of modern implantology, but also demonstrated how far ceramic implantology has matured today – scientifically, clinically, and technologically.
Over 200 participants from more than 20 countries listened to exciting lectures and workshops by 28 internationally renowned speakers and discussed material innovations, biological principles, and clinical applications of ceramic implants. The message was clear: ceramic implants are no longer just a trend, but represent the future of dental implantology. This was also reflected in the statement made by Prof. Tomas Albrektsson in his keynote speech on 60 years of implantology: “Ceramic implants are here to stay!”
The ESCI Congress 2025 impressively demonstrated that we are on the threshold of a new, metal-free and scientifically sound era of dentistry. I am delighted to be able to shape this path together with so many dedicated colleagues.
