DI Journal 1/2015 contained an interim report presenting the results for 65 implant systems from the 2014/15 BDIZ EDI implant study. This interim report had focused on notable analytical results for titanium implants and on the presentation of various surface structures of popular implant systems in titanium and its alloys [1]. The present report now also presents implants made of zirconia, tantalum and PEEK. Now that this study has been completed, a total of 120 different systems from 83 suppliers in 16 countries have been examined by scanning electron microscopy, doubling the number of implant systems analyzed by the BDIZ EDI Quality and Research Committee since the first study in 2008 [2,3]. In cooperation with the University of Cologne, extensive material contrast images were obtained and qualitative and quantitative elemental analyses performed on each of the implants examined, using the same study protocol.
