About Implantologie Journal

Implantologie Journal

Implantologie Journal is the German specialist journal for dental implantology, periodontology, and prosthetics, published by the OEMUS MEDIA AG in Leipzig as the profession's trusted specialist medium. As the official member journal of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Zahnärztliche Implantologie e.V. (DGZI), it has established itself as one of the dental field's leading publications, reaching a broad professional readership with 11,800 copies. Appearing ten times per year with the focus topics, the specialist articles, and the DGZI news, it serves the dentists and specialists who place the implants that restore the patients' teeth, function, and confidence.

Overview

Implantologie Journal appears ten times yearly as the implantology's specialist medium: the journal for the dentists, the oral surgeons, and the prosthodontists working with the dental implants, from the single-tooth replacement to the full-arch restoration. The editorial program dedicates each issue to a specific focus topic that deepens a subfield of the implantology, from the digital workflow to the immediate implantation to the augmentation, without losing sight of the journal's broad spectrum of implantology, periodontology, and prosthetics. The content ranges from the specialist articles on the current developments in research and development to the expert opinions, the congress reports, and the news on the DGZI's and the industry's activities.

The journal's position as the DGZI's official member journal gives it the institutional authority: the society's members receive the journal, and the journal carries the society's positions, congresses, and clinical concepts. The 11,800-copy circulation reaches the implantology's core community: the practitioners who place the implants and the industry that supplies them.

History

Implantologie Journal's history begins in 1997 with the first volume, initially as the information medium of the DGZI and the journal for implantology, periodontology, and prosthetics. The Leipzig-based Oemus Media, the dental specialist publisher, developed the title into the field's leading publication. The online resource documented from the 7th volume (2003) reflects the digital archiving: the 211 issues in the archive spanning 2003 to 2026.

The journal's development tracked the implantology's growth: from the specialist procedure to the mainstream treatment, from the titanium screws to the digital workflows, from the analog planning to the fully digital backward planning. Each issue's focus topic documented the field's advances: the immediate implantation in the molar region, the xenogeneic bone lamina for the augmentation, the biologically oriented implant-abutment design against the peri-implantitis, and the digital implantology with its predictable treatment results.

Coverage and Content

The implantology coverage addresses the field's core: the immediate implantation with the immediate restoration in the fully digital workflow, the digital backward planning for the structured implantological interventions, and the augmentation techniques from the GBR/GTR to the xenogeneic materials. The technology coverage follows the digitalization: the digital planning, the modern diagnostics, the intraoral scanning with the first S2k guideline, and the piezo surgery's product portraits.

The prosthetics and periodontology coverage addresses the implant's context: the emergence profiles, the compensatory prosthetics in the edentulous jaw, and the peri-implantitis prevention. The society coverage carries the DGZI's news: the annual congress previews, the O.S.T. concept presentations, and the activities. The market coverage presents the industry: the product novelties, the provider information, and the event notes, with the interviews showing the paths to the perfect emergence profile.

The Digital Implantology

The digital workflow in the implantology, the focus topic of the 06/2026 issue, exemplifies the field's transformation that the Implantologie Journal documents: the digital planning, the modern diagnostics, and the innovative technologies contributing to the predictable treatment results. The digital backward planning in the immediate implantation, explained by the specialist authors with the practice-oriented insights into the structured planning of the implantological interventions, shows the methodology: from the prosthetic goal backward to the implant position, planned digitally and executed precisely.

The fully digital workflow's user reports demonstrate the practice: the immediate implantation with the immediate restoration, from the intraoral scan to the guided surgery to the immediate prosthetics, in the seamless digital chain. The first S2k guideline on the intraoral scan marks the digitalization's maturation: the consensus on the standards. The journal's coverage of this transformation serves the practitioners adopting the digital: the articles teach the workflows, the product portraits demystify the technologies like the piezo surgery, and the interviews reveal the details like the perfect emergence profile. In the implantology where the digital determines the precision, the journal is the guide: the medium that translates the digital possibilities into the clinical practice.

The DGZI Partnership

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Zahnärztliche Implantologie's official member journal status defines the Implantologie Journal's role: the journal is the society's voice and the members' medium. The DGZI, as the implantology's professional society, sets the standards, organizes the congresses, and represents the field; the journal disseminates the society's knowledge, previews its congresses, and reports its concepts.

This partnership serves the readers: the DGZI members receive the journal as their membership benefit, and the journal's content reflects the society's scientific level. The advertisers benefit from the society's endorsement: the official member journal reaches the organized implantology. In the dental field where the societies shape the practice, the official journal is the natural medium.

Organization and Ownership

Implantologie Journal is published by the OEMUS MEDIA AG, Holbeinstraße 29, 04229 Leipzig, the dental specialist publisher. The editor-in-chief (V.i.S.d.P.) is Dipl.-Päd. Jürgen Isbaner, with the editorial advisory board including Dr. Georg Bach, Prof. Dr. Herbert Deppe, and others. The journal is one of Oemus Media's most important publications alongside the flagship ZWP Zahnarzt Wirtschaft Praxis, within the portfolio that includes the Dentalzeitung, the dentalfresh, and the international Dental Tribune.

The business model is the dental-publishing model: the subscriptions at 99 euros for the ten annual issues including VAT and shipping, the DGZI membership distribution that delivers the journal to the organized implantology, and the advertising from the dental industry's implant manufacturers, the augmentation-material suppliers, and the digital-technology providers. The subscription's automatic annual renewal reflects the readers' loyalty: the specialists keep the journal that keeps them current. The ISSN 1435-6139 identifies the print edition in the library systems, where the Saxon State Library archives the title as the mandatory copy.

Digital Presence

The implantologie-journal.de website is the journal's digital home: the current issue readable as the e-paper or downloadable as the PDF, the archive with the 211 issues from 2003 to 2026 documenting nearly a quarter-century of the implantology, and the detailed about pages. The ZWP online portal, the dental industry's news portal, integrates the journal: the e-papers available on all devices, the industry news announcing the new issues, and the publisher's own online shop for the orders and subscriptions.

For the dental implantology's professionals, the Implantologie Journal is the specialist companion: the ten annual issues with the focus topics that deepen the subfields, the specialist articles on the research and development, the expert opinions and congress reports, and the DGZI news, in print and as the e-paper on all devices. In the field where the digital workflow transforms the treatment, where the immediate implantation and the guided surgery redefine the possibilities, the journal documents the transformation: the indispensable information source and the central platform for the specialists of the dental implantology, one focus topic at a time, one issue at a time, since 1997, without interruption.
