DGP INNOVATION AWARD 2012:
Prevention, Diagnosis and Therapy
of Peri-Implant Diseases

In view of current research findings and the demographic change in our
society a noticeable increase in periimplant diseases is to be expected.
Against this background the German Society of Periodontology is willing to make
a contribution to further investigations into this theme, therefore offering annual
funds of 50,000 Euros altogether.

In this context scientific research projects pointing the way ahead are to be
supported, that are dedicated to examining the fundamental processes of how
the disease can be prevented, develops and progresses as well as to optimizing
therapy forms of periimplantitis. All European dentists as well as scientists
working in the field of research on dentistry and being members of any
European specialist association of Periodontology represented in the European
Federation of Periodontology (EFP) may apply for these funds.

The DGP asks all applicants to submit their applications via Mail until March 15
of the current year. The documents should also be provided electronically as PDF
on a CD-Rom. Applicants are kindly requested to describe their research project
in as detailed a manner as possible and to give an in depth explanation pertaining
to the question to what use the resources are put.

Funds will be awarded by an independent panel of experts appointed by the DGP.
The decision is final. Recourse to legal action is excluded.
The development funds in support of the prevention on periimplantitis are donated
by Biomet 3i and the German Society of Periodontology.
