The EAO Junior Committee—History, present and future activities

AbstractObjectiveTo describe the evolution and aims of the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) Junior Committee (JC).Materials and MethodsFormer members of the EAO JC and members of the board were interviewed, and current projects and initiatives were summarized.ResultsThe EAO JC was launched in 2007 as the first young committee in Europe. Despite initial skepticism, it became a famous initiative, and the concept was copied by other dental and medical associations and societies. Since 2010, the committee organizes summer camps allowing young talents to discuss, network and interact beyond traditional boundaries.ConclusionsThe EAO JC is giving fresh energy to the entire society and provides education and network opportunities for young clinicians and scientists.

Patterns of antibiotic prescription in implant dentistry and antibiotic resistance awareness among European dentists: A questionnaire-based study.

Antimicrobial resistance is an alarming global public health concern, threatening the effective treatment of common infections. This phenomenon is driven by the improper prescription of antibiotics. This study aimed to elucidate the patterns of antibiotic prescription in implant dentistry among European dentists and their awareness of antibiotic resistance. An anonymous online validated questionnaire was distributed via e-mail to 6431 recipients through the European Association for Osseointegration. It comprised of 17 structured questions investigating demographic variables, working environment, clinical experience, attitude towards antibiotic prescription in particular in relation to implant dentistry and COVID-19 pandemic, and awareness of antibiotic resistance. Data were collected from April to May 2023. 281 dentists from 33 European countries completed the survey. Almost 80% affirmed to routinely prescribe antibiotics as prophylaxis as well as after dental implant placement, especially in medically compromised patients or in cases of bone grafting. Amoxicillin, alone (61%) or in combination with clavulanic acid (56%), was the most common antibiotic of choice. Awareness of penicillin resistance among respondents was high. For peri-implantitis treatment, more than half reported the use of systemic antibiotics. The large majority (95%) did not prescribe more antibiotics since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic. Less than 40% declared to follow national guidelines for antibiotic prescription. This survey revealed a high prescription rate of antibiotics in implant dentistry, despite the awareness about antibiotic resistance among the respondents. The development and adherence to European guidelines has been identified as a potential strategy for improving antimicrobial stewardship.

Performance of an Artificial Intelligence-Based Chatbot (ChatGPT) Answering the European Certification in Implant Dentistry Exam.

To compare the performance of licensed dentists and two software versions (3.5 legacy and 4.0) of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based chatbot (ChatGPT) answering the exam for the 2022 Certification in Implant Dentistry of the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO). The 50-question, multiple-choice exam of the EAO for the 2022 Certification in Implant Dentistry was obtained. Three groups were created based on the individual or program answering the exam: licensed dentists (D group) and two software versions of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based chatbot (ChatGPT)-3.5 legacy (ChatGPT-3.5 group) and the 4.0 version (ChatGPT-4.0 group). The EAO provided the results of the 2022 examinees (D group). For the ChatGPT groups, the 50 multiple-choice questions were introduced into both ChatGBT versions, and the answers were recorded. Pearson correlation matrix was used to analyze the linear relationship among the subgroups. The inter- and intraoperator reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. One-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests were used to examine the data (α = .05). ChatGPT was able to pass the exam for the 2022 Certification in Implant Dentistry of the EAO. Additionally, the software version of ChatGPT impacted the score obtained. The 4.0 version not only pass the exam but also obtained a significantly higher score than the 3.5 version and licensed dentists completing the same exam. The AIbased chatbot tested not only passed the exam but performed better than licensed dentists.

EAO Position Paper: Material Selection for Implant-Supported Restorations

In recent years, numerous new dental materials have been introduced as alternatives to metal-ceramics for restorations on teeth and implants. This position paper presents the current evidence and respective clinical recommendations of the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO), one of the scientific partners of the International Journal of Prosthodontics, on material selection for single crowns (SCs) and multiple-unit implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). Metal-ceramic restorations can be utilized in most clinical indications and are preferred to ceramic restorations in incidences such as long clinical implant crowns; cantilever implant restorations where one implant is supporting two crowns; implant-supported FDPs with extension units extending more than 7 to 8 mm (premolar size); implant-supported FDPs with more than two pontics; and implant-supported FDPs with small connector diameters due to limited intraocclusal space. Veneered or monolithic zirconia-ceramic and veneered or monolithic reinforced glass-ceramic implant-supported SCs are indicated for most SC cases in both the anterior and posterior areas. Today, implant-supported zirconia-ceramic FDPs that are conventionally veneered cannot be considered the material of first priority due to the pronounced risk for fracture of the framework and catastrophic fracture of the veneering material. Monolithic zirconia FDPs are a promising alternative to veneered implant-supported zirconia-ceramic FDPs. The mechanical stability of the translucent and shaded zirconia differs significantly between the grades of translucency. This must always be considered when clinical indications are recommended. As this specific area of prosthodontics is evolving fast, numerous studies evaluating different material options in implant prosthodontics are currently performed worldwide, and future consensus meetings will refine the present recommendations. The EAO will therefore regularly publish updated position papers on relevant topics.

Editorial: New Initiatives at the IJP

Irena Sailer, Editor-in-Chief: This year, our Editorial Board team has decided to launch several new initiatives at the IJP to add to last year’s innovations. One of these 2021 initiatives is the publication of specific Position Papers delivered by our partner organization, the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO). These Position Papers are planned to appear twice per year and aim to disseminate the knowledge of the EAO by providing the clinical readership with relevant, evidence-based, clinically oriented conclusions and recommendations on current implant-prosthodontic topics. Furthermore, Invited Commentaries on cutting-edge topics written by world-class experts will be added to the scientific content of the journal. The purely scientific content of journals like the IJP can sometimes be difficult to translate into daily clinical practice. The new initiatives at IJP, as well as the ones introduced last year (eg, #BringtheJournaltoLife), aim to improve this translation and thereby to fulfill the main mission of the IJP—to bridge the gap between science and clinical practice. For this issue, we invited Prof Dr Christian Stohler, the Dean of the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, to share his vision on the future of 21st century health care—enjoy his excellent, inspiring invited commentary and buckle up for the future! On behalf of the entire Editorial Board team, Irena Sailer, Editor-in-Chief

Abstracts presented at the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) Congresses: Publication fate and discrepancies with full-length articles.

To investigate the full publication proportion (FPP) of abstracts presented at the 2010 and 2011 EAO Congresses, analyse the discrepancies between abstracts and their full publications, and explore potential predictors of FPP and discrepancies. Abstracts presented at the 2010 and 2011 EAO Congresses were retrieved. Associated full publications were identified by searching PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar. Discrepancies between abstracts and full publications were identified, classified and evaluated using a discrepancy score. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to describe cumulative FPP over time. Predictors for FPP and the discrepancy score were analysed using cox regression modelling and a linear regression model, respectively. 850 abstracts were included. The overall FPP was 36.4% with a median time lapse of 12 months. Higher FPP were significantly associated with oral presentation (HR=2.33; 95% CI: 1.68 to 3.22; p<0.001), multiple affiliations (HR =1.32; 95% CI: 1.00 to 1.73; p=0.048) and presence of statistical tests (HR =1.78; 95% CI: 1.36 to 2.32; p<0.001). 91.3% pairs had at least one minor change from the abstract and 70.9% had at least one major change. Greater discrepancy score was significantly associated with longer time lapse (B=0.06; 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.08; p<0.001) and being clinical research (B=1.30; 95% CI: 0.52 to 2.08; p=0.001). Thirty-six percent of abstracts presented at the EAO Congresses were published. Among these, more than two-thirds showed at least one major change in their full publications. Abstracts presented in oral implantology conferences should not be relied upon to inform practice.

Thirty-six years of research on oral surgery and implantology in Vienna

At the end of 2012 Professor Georg Watzek retired as head of the Department of Oral Surgery at the Bernhard Gottlieb School of Dentistry, Vienna Medical University. This gives the opportunity to look back on 36 years of publication history since his first research article was published in 1976. Professor Georg Watzek was affiliated to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (Vienna Medical University, Austria, head: Univ. Prof. Dr. Siegfried Wunderer) from 1973 and published his first papers there. After his habilitation in 1980 he became head of the Department of Oral Surgery (University Dental Clinic, Vienna Medical University, Austria) and in 1987 head of the Dental Clinic. From 1983 to 1993 he was editor of the journal Stomatologie, president of the Austrian Society for Oral Surgery and Implantology (1983–2002) and president of the Austrian Dental Association (1989–1993). Professor Georg Watzek is an honorary member of the Hungarian Dental Association (1991) and the German and Czech Society for Implantology (2003). From 1994 to 1997 he was visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania and in 2003 he served as president of the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO). He is a founding member of the scientific board of the Osteology Foundation in 2004 and became associate editor for the International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants (JOMI) in 2006. This special issue of The International Journal of Stomatology and Occlusion Medicine gives a survey of all PubMed listed scientific articles published by Watzek and coworkers from 1976 to 2012 structured into four time periods. We hope you enjoy this 36th anniversary compilation of research on oral surgery and implantology in Vienna. J. Stomat. Occ. Med. (2013) 6:1 DOI 10.1007/s12548-013-0085-8

E.A.O. guidelines for the use of diagnostic imaging in implant dentistry 2011. A consensus workshop organized by the European Association for Osseointegration at the Medical University of Warsaw

Diagnostics imaging is an essential component of patient selection and treatment planning in oral rehabilitation by means of osseointegrated implants. In 2002, the EAO produced and published guidelines on the use of diagnostic imaging in implant dentistry. Since that time, there have been significant developments in both the application of cone beam computed tomography as well as in the range of surgical and prosthetic applications that can potentially benefit from its use. However, medical exposure to ionizing radiation must always be justified and result in a net benefit to the patient. The as low a dose as is reasonably achievable principle must also be applied taking into account any alternative techniques that might achieve the same objectives. This paper reports on current EAO recommendations arising from a consensus meeting held at the Medical University of Warsaw (2011) to update these guidelines. Radiological considerations are detailed, including justification and optimization, with a special emphasis on the obligations that arise for those who prescribe or undertake such investigations. The paper pays special attention to clinical indications and radiographic diagnostic considerations as well as to future developments and trends.
