From orthopedics to dentistry: advanced ceramics for long-term health
At the DEGUZ Annual Meeting in Leipzig on May 9-10, our Director of Scientific Affairs Dr. Alan Porporati shared insights that highlight a compelling convergence between orthopedics and dentistry. The event confirmed that dental practitioners are increasingly looking to the proven benefits of advanced ceramics – like BIOLOX®delta, our pink composite ceramic that has transformed orthopedic procedures such as hip replacement with its exceptional biocompatibility and wear resistance.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2024 Heinz Mittelmeier Awards!
This year we had the pleasure to recognize two groups of honorees. Robert Nißler’s team evaluated the use of NIR-fluorescence in imaging that could improve ceramic fracture removal surgery. Meanwhile, a retrieval study conducted by Joachim Döring’s team analyzed wear-related damage to 43 BIOLOX®delta CoC and CoP components used in hard and soft bearings.
