German Oral Health Foundation
Campaigns
The German Oral Health Foundation (DMS) has two active campaigns:
- I love my implant
- Prevention Heroes
I love my implant
Together with dentists who are experts in implantology, we are working with the German Oral Health Foundation to promote lifelong implant health. With tailored, personalized preventive measures and continuous screening, dental implants can now remain healthy and inflammation-free for much longer.
Sustainable implant health through early detection diagnostics
We aim to double the normal lifespan of implants by combining predictive diagnostics and targeted preventive measures—and we are working hard to achieve this goal together with our technology and expertise partner practices.
Innovative preventive diagnostics
A recent long-term study (Guarnieri et al.) proves that predictive aMMP-8 ImplantSafe® diagnostics can detect peri-implant bone loss at the chairside within just ten minutes – and that 24 months BEFORE it manifests itself.
Peri-implantitis can be prevented with 90 percent certainty through active cooperation from your patients and targeted, personalised preventive measures, without any changes to the tried-and-tested procedures and processes in a dental practice.
Qualified ImplantSafe® Centres (ISC) utilise this technological advantage and can prevent peri-implantitis, which is usually caused by poor hygiene, through predictive diagnostics combined with targeted preventive measures. ISCs thus already comply with the legally binding (MDR 2021*) requirement for preventive damage control in individually manufactured implant services.
Through clinical performance assessment (PMS*) by ImplantSafe®, ISC complies with strict new guidelines and offers its patients greater protection, safety and longevity of implant services.
For dentists: Long-term implant success through predictive diagnostics. Gain visibility as a qualified specialist practice that is committed to long-term implant preservation.
For patients: Trust our network of qualified experts and enjoy your implants for the long term.
Prevention Heroes
Prevention Heroes are committed to promoting oral and systemic health for the common good. With the Prevention Hero campaign, the DMS supports dental practices that want to position themselves in the areas of longevity, wellness and wellbeing. On the patient side, this campaign aims to raise awareness among the population of the importance of oral prevention. In addition, patients are given guidance on which practices in their area are positioned in the areas of longevity, wellness, wellbeing and oral health maintenance.
With the Prevention Hero Award, the DMS honors practice teams that are particularly strong in prevention, have exceptional expertise in the field of preventive therapies, and focus on maintaining the health of their patients.
Prevention Heroes stand for a shift away from purely remedial medicine toward genuine preventive care. Proactive prevention concepts that are individually tailored and scientifically sound make it possible to detect diseases up to five years before they develop—and thus prevent them in a targeted manner.
The majority of patients choose a practice with a high level of expertise and specialisation in prevention because they want to maintain their health.
Healthier. More attractive. More efficient – longevity and wellbeing are conquering dentistry. In addition to the well-known prophylaxis, specialisation in personalised prevention is taking on a whole new meaning. It starts with predictive diagnostics. A simple biomolecular saliva screening test that can be performed at the chairside measures the predictive biomarker aMMP-8. It detects oral collagen degradation in real time within just 5 minutes and enables targeted preventive therapy. This makes collagen preservation and oral immune fitness possible.
For dentists: A new standard for providing even better support to patients – with responsibility, vision and impact.
For patients: The security of knowing you are in the best hands and actively contributing to your own health.
Detect early. Take targeted action. Stay healthy.
