Recently, the East China launch ceremony of the German AXIODENT Implant System, along with a joint Sino‑German expert consultation event, was successfully held at Zhongxi Dental. As the brand owner, we partnered with Dr. Dirk Mankow, DDS, PhD from the Charité – Berlin University of Medicine, and the clinical team at Zhongxi Dental to introduce cutting‑edge international implant technology to the East China region.
During the event, Dr. Dirk Mankow engaged in in‑depth academic exchanges with experts including Chief Physician Zeng Xianwei and Chief Physician Zhou Chuang of Zhongxi Dental. The discussions centred on clinical challenges such as immediate implantation, bone augmentation techniques, sinus floor elevation strategies, and digital implant workflows. Dr. Zeng shared his practical experience in transcrestal sinus floor elevation, while Dr. Dirk presented German clinical data on the use of osteotome techniques and specially designed implant geometries to avoid complex external sinus lift procedures. Both sides also exchanged insights on GBR bone graft material selection, combinations of titanium mesh and barrier membranes, and the adjunctive use of biological agents, offering new perspectives for optimising treatment plans in complex cases.

Following the academic sessions, the Sino‑German expert team jointly consulted with multiple edentulous patients presenting complex conditions, including long‑standing tooth loss, multiple missing teeth, insufficient bone volume, and full‑arch defects. Based on CBCT imaging and patient requirements, the team performed comprehensive analyses covering bone assessment, implant selection, prosthetic design, and long‑term maintenance, developing personalised treatment plans for each patient – allowing them to receive international‑standard multidisciplinary care without travelling abroad.

At the subsequent certification ceremony, we officially presented Zhongxi Dental with the plaque “AXIODENT Clinical Technology Demonstration Centre,” marking the establishment of a strategic partnership. Going forward, we will deepen collaboration with Zhongxi Dental in clinical application, technical training, and academic exchange, jointly enhancing our capacity to manage complex implant restorations.

Finally, Dr. Dirk Mankow, Ms. Chen Tao – Asia‑Pacific Director of the German MEOPLANT Implant System – and the expert team from Zhongxi Dental jointly presided over the ribbon‑cutting ceremony, officially launching the AXIODENT Implant System within Zhongxi Dental’s clinical services. This brings a wider range of high‑quality implant restoration options to edentulous patients in East China.
As a German precision‑engineering implant brand, AXIODENT is committed to continuously integrating innovative technology with clinical practice. This launch at Zhongxi Dental represents a significant step in our deepening presence in the Asia‑Pacific region, particularly the Chinese market, and in serving a broader patient population. In the future, we will continue to support outstanding partners like Zhongxi Dental in advancing digital implantology and precision restoration, helping more patients regain healthy, confident smiles.
