Berlin is known for being one of the most creative and vibrant cities in Europe. Therefore, it's no surprise that this year's European Association for Osseointegration Congress, EAO Congress for short, is taking place in Berlin. From September 28th to 30th, experts from all over the world will meet to discuss new surgical techniques and technological trends in oral surgery and implantology.

The prevention of peri-implant diseases is the best treatment and the peri-implant soft tissue can play a decisive role here; for this reason, the team should discuss if there is a need for treatment in patients with a lack of keratinised mucosa (i.e. < 2 mm width of keratinised mucosa).

A very high percentage of patients had a positive experience of implant treatment and most patients were very happy with the result; however, frequent points of criticism were the treatment costs and the cleansing ability.
