2 Clinical evidence and Science EDITORIAL* Science and Clinics and Industry Albert Einstein once said, «All of science is nothing more than the refinement of everyday thinking» and this is what science is based on, answering questions of our daily life. For us today, as dental implant specialists, these questions ideally arise from our clinical routine. Due to the increasing complexity of science, technologies and requirements for the regulatory approval of medical devices only a concerted approach of the scientist, the clinician and the entrepreneur will enhance the understanding of the parameters influencing the biologic integrity of dental implants. The clinician makes subjective observations leading to a question which science of course pursuits by applying knowledge and methods following a systematic methodology resulting in proven objective observations, the evidence. Ideally these objective observations are transformed into a technological advancement. This can just be the other way around, when technological advancement proofs to be successful in the clinicians´hands. The collection of publications from various prestigious scientists and clinicians predominantly sponsored by the Oral Reconstruction Foundation are displayed in this edition, they symbolize successful concerted activities advancing our knowledge in implantology. *Courtesy of the Oral Reconstruction Foundation.
