Prof. Dr. Joachim S. HERMANN could give the keynote speech and talk about latest trends in Periodontics, Implant and Esthetic Dentistry at the University of Sharjah / Dubai (United Arab Emirates [UAE]), the first and largest Dental Hospital in the UAE and the overall Gulf Region as invited speaker of the 3rd Sharjah Dental College & 16th Emirates Medical Association International Conference. The University Dental Hospital Sharjah (UDHS) / Faculty of Dentistry was founded in 2004 and is integrated in the compound of medical and health sciences. Therefore, a comprehensive approach in Medical Sciences was of major importance during this international conference focusing on the Art of Dentistry as an important branch of Medical Sciences and not on a separate discipline by itself.

Chronic (type II periodontal disease) and aggressive periodontitis / periimplantitis (type III periodontal disease) occur in about 80 % (60% / 20 %) of all patients in our today’s clinical practices. Thus it has become of utmost importance to precisely identify and distinguish type II vs. type III periodontal diseases to be able to primarily and completely cure such different illnesses (inflammation vs. infection) and secondarily maintain the state of health based upon an individual bio-logical risk assessment and a customized maintenance care protocol long-term. In that regard, Prof. Joe HERMANN could talk at the ‘Annual Berlin Prevention Days’ to about 350 Dental Hygienists, Prophylaxis Assistants and their General Dentists upon invitation by the Philipp-Pfaff-Institute in Berlin (Germany). As one of the major conclusions, it has become clear that such an approach will provide the least incidence of dental urgencies in the daily dental practice, and especially, will also allow to even more focus on a sophisticated level Dentistry with increased financial benefits both for the patient as well as the team of Dental Professionals.

In recent years, computing software allows virtually for any changes of crucial contents on still digital images other than digital raw files, which can be compared to performance enhancing drugs in high performance sports. As a consequence to such a world-wide reality in publishing as well as continuing education sciences, all DSI® Faculty Members agreed upon a common DSI® Disclaimer to never modify such pictures in the medically relevant areas-of-interest by means of computing software. Furthermore, since both remodeling of periodontal / periimplant hard- as well as soft tissues macroscopically takes 9+ months, all DSI® documentation will be based upon long-term clinical outcomes (2+ years) and best upon moving clinical pictures / videos / real-time live patient documentation. Therefore, DSI® course participants as well as DSI® Business Partners can expect reproducible, predictable and reliable treatment outcomes on their patients on a bio-logical basis long-term.

In recent years, it has become evident that chronic general diseases as well as a multitude of severe and live-threatening general diseases are directly linked to both periapical as well as lateral periodontitis. Surprisingly, most aggressive anaerobic Periodontopathogens / Implantopathogens are the same / identical and independent of whether they have an endodontic or a periodontal origin. Therefore, the DSI® curriculum also provides sophisticated courses in Endodontics where course participants can train their skills using professional Operating Microscopes (OPMI) in combination with latest high-technology endodontic equipment.

Effective today, the DSI® provides (co)authored scientific papers by Prof. Joe HERMANN (peer-reviewed / international impact factor publications) in an open PDF-file format online which will allow the reader to easier get access to / study / understand the independent scientific background which then can directly be transferred into everybody’s daily clinical practice. Furthermore, this online scientific background information allows DSI® course participants to perfectly well and individually prepare DSI® CE-Events ahead of time and to study particular details of such a course in a Hand-Out information format after completion of an interesting DSI® course as part of DSI®’s Monday Morning Take Home Messages™.

The German Association of Oral Implantology (DGI) celebrated ‘60 Years of Periimplant Hard Tissue Integration’ with 3’500 participants at the occasion of the 25th DGI Annual Meeting taking place in Dresden (Germany). As a keynote speaker, Prof. Joachim S. HERMANN could present his latest news on a bio-logically driven implant placement protocol, and in particular, on eight-year results of successful immediate implant loading (100% Success Rate) in single and multiple tooth gaps in partially edentulous patients which may provide the least / no amounts of buccal and crestal Bone Loss (cBL) as well as minimal / no amounts of recession of the Gingival Margin (GM) long-term.

For the fifth time, the ZP® Dental Excellence™ Study Club joined in at the DSI® Headquarters in Zurich (Switzerland) comprised of referring general dentists as well as specialists and their teams discussing a bio-logical approach to come up with predictable and reliable implant esthetics long-term. As a crucial aspect of this DSI® Continuing Education event, it has become clear that a different biology seems to be involved with Bone Level Implants as opposed to Soft Tissue Level Implants as well as the fact that switched platforms are supposed to react differently in comparison with conventional matched platform implant designs. As a conclusion, it has been suggested - at the basis of both experimental and clinical data - that the best results can be achieved when using a Soft Tissue Level approach in combination with a matched platform implant design.

Prof. Joe HERMANN was invited to Basel (Switzerland) by the Swiss Association of Dental Laboratories (VZLS) in close collaboration with the Institute Straumann AG, presenting on periimplant crestal hard and soft tissue biology both from a clinical as well as experimental point of view comparing Bone Level vs. Soft Tissue Level Implant approaches. As a major conclusion, it became evident that different locations of the crestal Bone Level (cBL) will directly influence the level of the Gingival Margin (GM) according to the principle of the Biologic Width (BW). Thus, perfect periimplant ‘Red’ as well as ‘White Esthetics’ are directly dependent on each other and related to a bio-logically-driven ‘Tissue-directed Implant Placement’ as well as a precise ‘Restoration-driven Implant Placement’ Protocol (3-D-Implant Positioning).
Friday, October 28, 2011
At the occasion of the fourth ZP® Dental Excellence™ Study Club meeting at the DSI® Headquarters in Zurich (Switzerland), referring general dentists as well as specialists and their teams were discussing a bio-logical approach to come up with predictable and reliable implant esthetics long-term. A crucial aspect seems to be a different biology involved with Bone Level Implants as opposed to Soft Tissue Level Implants as well as the fact that switched platforms are supposed to react differently in comparison with conventional matched platform implant designs. Finally, it has been suggested - at the basis of both experimental as well as clinical data - that the best results can be achieved when using a Soft Tissue Level approach in combination with a matched platform implant design.

Upon invitation by the Upper Lake Zurich Rotary Club from Rapperswil (Switzerland), Prof. Joe HERMANN could present on the interaction of aggressive periodontitis and heart attack as well as stroke and multiple other severe general diseases / conditions. In that regard, it could be discussed that such an aggressive oral disease occurs at a rather high percentage of about 20% of the overall world-wide population. Furthermore, it has become clear that aggressive periodontitis / periimplantitis does not just trigger such potentially fatal diseases, but really can directly be responsible for such diseases. Thus, a completely healthy oral cavity can be a major contributor for patients’ general health and longevity in general.
Thursday, September 29 - Saturday, October 1, 2011
The first DSI® Expert Level Academy Meeting took place at the national French DSI DentaScience Institute® in Grenoble (France). Major focus was given to the anatomy, handling and preservation of Periimplant Soft Tissues. As an integral part of this meeting format, about 50% of the overall duration of this high-end course was a Hands-On seminar, allowing each participant to directly transfer unique Biological Principles into daily clinical practice (Program / Testimonials / Photo Gallery). Early 2012, the appropriate Periimplant Hard Tissue Course will take place in a modular fashion and as an ideal combination. Furthermore, the Periimplant Soft Tissue Course will be repeated during the fall season of 2012 as well.

During the Eurosymposium 2011 in Constance (Germany), Prof. Joachim S. HERMANN spoke on Oemus Media TV / DSI® YouTube Channel about the State-of-the-art in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry in 2012. Nowadays, there is ample evidence for the fact that Dental Implants should only be placed in a completely healthy oral cavity when trying to achieve complication- and / or failure-free as well as esthetic long-term results. This is even more important since about 70% (!) of the overall world-wide population suffers from periodontitis. Therefore, it seems to be crucial to transfer unique Biological Principles into daily clinical practice. Furthermore, a healthy status of both teeth and implants should be monitored by a specialist team dealing with a meticulous analysis of the medical history, diagnostic work-up, active therapy as well as maintenance care long-term.
Saturday, September 24, 2011
At the occasion of the 6th South German Implantology Days in Constance (Germany), Prof. Joe HERMANN could present on latest trends as well as challenges and limits of Dental and Oro-facial Diagnostic Sciences. A major aspect was the fact, that every single diagnostic tool - from periapical radiography up to Cone-beam Computer Tomography (CBCT) - should be used where necessary and based upon a specific indication (Oral Surgery / Periodontics / Endodontics / Orthodontics / Implant Dentistry / Prosthodontics). As of today, the CBCT technology has become the ’Standard of Care’ in multiple compelling diagnostic indications in analogy to the introduction of conventional panoramic radiography (Pano) some 40+ years ago. As a consequence, oro-facial treatments can be carried out significantly more precisely and in a (more) minimally-invasive fashion. Another interesting fact is the significant reduction in radiation doses of about 75% comparing CBCT with conventional head and neck Computer Tomogram (CT) technology (Periapical Radiograph ca. 1x : Pano 4x : CBCT 16x : CT 64x). Furthermore, it seems to be important to understand that Board Certified Radiologists (Germany) need to carry out and analyze 2’500+ imaging examinations while going through a six-year full-time residency. This explains the fact that Dentists as well as Physicians using CBCT technology do have a great responsibility and should have a record of extensive continuing education, training and experience when using this unique technology.

One of the most important goals of the DSI DentaScience Institute® is a comprehensive approach in sophisticated Dentistry including multiple fields of expertise offering continuing education events on a global perspective and in analogy to the DSI® Philosophy. In that regard, the international DSI® Dental Technology Study Club was founded at the global DSI® Headquarters focusing on latest visions and perspectives in combination with an appropriate transfer into daily practice in the field of Dental Technology. The new President of this DSI® Study Club is Master Dental Technician Thomas H. SEITNER from Stuttgart-Ostfildern (Germany). Further founding members are from left to right as follows: Dental Technician Christoph RYCHEN from Basel-Binnigen (Switzerland), Master Dental Technician Markus LEUZINGER from Zurich (Switzerland), Master Dental Technician Renzo TRACHSLER from Zurich-Küsnacht (Switzerland), Prof. Dr. Joe HERMANN from Zurich-Nänikon (Switzerland), Master Dental Technician Romy MEIER from Bern-Herzogenbuchsee (Switzerland), Master Dental Technician Bernhard HÜGI from Zurich-Egg (Switzerland), Master Dental Technician Raphael BÜSSER from St. Gallen (Switzerland) as well as Master Dental Technician Felix BAUMANN from Olten (Switzerland). The following founding members were not present on this photograph: Dr. Hervé BUATOIS from Grenoble (France), Dr. Gabriele CARUSO from Cagliari (Italy), Master Dental Technician Alessandro CATTANEO from Cagliari (Italy), Master Dental Technician Marc-André LERICHE from Beaune (France), Dr. Bertold MEISTER from Hamburg (Germany), Dental Technician Martina MEISTER from Hamburg (Germany), Master Dental Technician Alwin SCHÖNENBERGER from Zurich-Glattbrugg (Switzerland), Dental Technician Erich WIRZ from Basel (Switzerland) as well as Master Dental Technician Thomas H. SEITNER from Stuttgart-Ostfildern (Germany).

Dr. Hervé BUATOIS (left) and Prof. Joe HERMANN (right) were meeting in Grenoble (France) to further discuss and fine-tune the upcoming DSI® 2011 Continuing Education Events in Grenoble (DSI® Expert Level Academy 01/2011 and 01/2012) with the DSI® Winter Academy 2012 in Saas-Fee (Valais / Switzerland) as well as the DSI® Spring Academy Meeting 2012 in Vilamendhoo (Maldives). Furthermore, Dr. BUATOIS received the National French DSI® President’s Award from Prof. Dr. Joachim S. HERMANN since he just took over the national French DSI® Presidency from Dr. Jean-Nicolas HASSON in Mulhouse (France).
Thursday, September 1, 2011
Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Joachim S. HERMANN (’Principal Investigator’), an international research team (United States of America / Switzerland / Germany / Jordan) could show for the first time different both periimplant hard- and soft tissue reactions in relation to the implant insertion depth as well as implant surface characteristics comparing a relatively smooth, machined titanium surface with a Sandblasted, Large-grit and Acid-etched Surface [SLA]). In this first peer-reviewed publication (ISI® Impact Factor: 2.479 / Ranking: # 9) it could be shown that the amount of crestal bone loss could be decreased significantly. Furthermore, periimplant connective tissue fibers adjacent to SLA surface textures showed a perpendicular fiber orientation into the surface as opposed to scar-tissue like connective tissue characteristics in relation to relatively smooth machined titanium surfaces.
Friday, August 26, 2011
Implantologist Dr. Carlo METZLER from Lugano-Manno (Ticino / Switzerland) invited Prof. Joe HERMANN to present to his personal Study Club on the selective identification and successful long-term healing of aggressive vs. chronic periodontitis / periimplantitis (Course Objectives / Summary). Major focus was also given to the significant impact of aggressive periodontitis / periimplantitis in direct relation to severe general diseases. Scientific evidence for such a correlation already exists today for Heart Attack, Stroke, Thrombosis / Embolism, Endocarditis, Alzheimer’s Disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Pneumonia, Orofacial Malignoma, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus, Urethritis / Cystitis / Pyelonephritis, Prostatitis / Orchitis, Premature Delivery / Pre-term Low Birth Weight, Breast Implant Foreign Body Reactions and Psoriasis.

Friday, July 1, 2011
In recent years, major international epidemiological studies have clearly shown that only about 5% of our world-wide population are periodontally / periimplantologically healthy, ca. 10% exhibit a periodontal / periimplant gingivitis (type I A periodontal disease - low-risk patient group), about 65% of all patients do have a chronic periodontitis / periimplantitis (type II periodontal disease - low-risk patient group), whereas ca. 20% (!) suffer from aggressive periodontitis / periimplantitis (type III periodontal disease - high-risk patient group). A challenge in today’s successful clinical practices remains the ideal assignment of Prophylaxis Assistants, Dental Hygienists, General Dentists, and Periodontists to the appropriate patient groups based upon the specific difficulty level (Course Objectives /Summary).
Friday, July 1, 2011
Two weeks after the first ZP ZurichPeriodontics® Dental Excellence™ Study Club meeting, further referring general dentists and dental hygienists from several countries joined in at the DSI DentaScience Institute® in Zurich focusing on ’Distinguishing Criteria for the Detection of Chronic vs. Aggressive Periodontitis / Periimplantitis ?! Can a complete oral healing be achieved and maintained long-term ?!’ (ZPSC02/2011). One of the major issues of this seminar was the identification of 12 specific criteria allowing to distinguish a chronic periodontitis / periimplantitis (low-risk patient group) from an aggressive periodontitis / periimplantitis (high-risk patient group).

Due to such a close collaboration with partners in business and industry, DSI® course participants always can take advantage of the latest developments in dentistry, and if desired, immediately can get in touch with these professionals. In that regard, the major focus was given to power-driven sonic toothbrushes, interdental tooth brushes as well as multi-compatible ultrasonic device tips for professional cleaning purposes.

DSI® Expert Level Academy meetings from now on will focus both on high-end presentation formats in combination with a direct transfer of this acquired knowledge via hands-on seminars. The first DSI® Expert Level Academy Meeting already will take place in Grenoble (France) from September 29 – October 1, 2011 (Preliminary Program).
Saturday, May 7, 2011
The first ‘International Symposium on Cone-Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT)’ took place in Warsaw / Poland, where Prof. Joe HERMANN could present on long-term results related to the topic “How much Dental Diagnostic Sciences Do We Need ?! - From Periapical Radiography to Cone-Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT)”. It became clear as a conclusion of this international conference that up-to-date Radiology / Dental Diagnostic Sciences are not just separate, descriptive sciences any more, but have become clinical sciences and thus, a crucial part of a sophisticated daily clinical practice. In addition, more and more synergies are being developed with specialists in the field of Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Medicine, which will allow improve both the quality of ENT as well as Dental Medicine.
Saturday, April 16, 2011
Prof. Dr. Joachim S. HERMANN was one of the main speakers at a Hamburg (Germany) Symposium on the relationship between Periodontitis and General Health Issues. As of today, there is ample evidence that aggressive periodontitis / periimplantitis (type III periodontal disease) can directly cause or exaggerate the four most lethal diseases world-wide (World Health Organization [WHO]) like heart attack, stroke, pneumonia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Also endocarditis, rheumatoid arthritis, premature delivery, pre-term low birth weight, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, malignant tumors in the oral & maxillofacial area and rejection of breast implants seem to be linked to a transferable infectious type III periodontal disease (‘Kissing Disease’) why a completely healed and healthy oral cavity (!) seems to be of utmost importance.
Thursday, March 24 - Saturday, March 26, 2011
Prof. Dr. Joachim S. HERMANN presented on latest technologies in Dental Diagnostic Sciences at the occasion of the 34th International Dental Show (IDS), the world-wide biggest fair of dental professionals (115’000 visitors), in cooperation with global DSI® Partner KaVo on the topic ‘From Periapical Radiography to Cone-Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT) – How much Dental Diagnostic Sciences Do We Need ?!’.
