26. Maintenance

We currently use Dynagraft. The only indication restriction, in our experience, is the use of Dynagraft in the region of the widely opened (including membrane) maxillary sinus, especially in connection with the explantation of infected BOI implants or with secondary augmentation near BOI when superinfection of the disk areas is suspected.

Hildegard Knef once summarized this in a song: “What? You are feeling well?! We must be able to do something about that.” Or, speaking with Christian Morgenstern and his Palmström’s law: “What must not be cannot be” (from The Impossible Fact, Gallow Songs, 1963)

In Switzerland, universities are usually well protected against such lawsuits claiming incorrect medical advice, since cantonal law stipulates a statue of limitations of only two years, sometimes even with the requirement that the lawsuit has to be decided before that time limit expires. By the time the patient realizes that it was the university that misinformed and mistreated him, rather than the BOI dentist against whom the original lawsuit was brought, 2 years may very well have passed, meaning that the statute of limitation in favour of the university dental clinic would apply.
