Dentaprime Dental Medicine Research Award
Clinical study of the load-bearing capacity of modern ceramic dental bridges conferred with the Dentaprime Dental Medicine Research Award.
Varna, 5 August 2008 – If they need tooth replacements, patients demand aesthetic and well-tolerated materials with a high load-bearing capacity. Modern zirconium dioxide (hereafter called “zirconia”) ceramics meet these demands and show a long durability in the heavily loaded posterior area. This is revealed in a study by dental specialist Dr. Philipp Kohorst from Hannover (Germany). Today, in Varna (Bulgaria), he was presented with the Dentaprime Dental Medicine Research Award for this study. Dentaprime confers the annual prize, which endows 5.000 Euro, for outstanding research work in the areas of implantology and aesthetic dentistry.
