The research award of the AG Keramik
Many new procedures and practical tips, tested and described by research award winners, have found their way into the therapeutic canon of dentistry over the past 2 decades. The research submitted and awarded represents the diverse development of restorative dentistry and prosthodontics. A look at the topics of the award winners shows how the issues have changed and what developmental steps have taken place in the field of dental ceramics since the beginning of this millennium.

Research and Video Award 2021
This year's AG Keramik Research and Video Award winners will be honored during the Ceramics Symposium on December 4th, 2021. Since the 20. Anniversary Research Prize could not be awarded last year, the AG Keramik 2021 will award a total of 3 winners for their outstanding research work with the one-time doubled prize money totaling 10,000 euros. The video prize, worth a total of 5,000 euros, is awarded for short films showing expert tips in restorations with ceramics or hybrid materials.
AG Keramik Research and Video Prize 2020 was not awarded
For the first time in the history of AG Keramik's prestigious research award, the jury has decided not to award a prize. Dr. Bernd Reiss, Chairman of AG Keramik: "We had submissions with high potential (...) However, from our point of view, both the clinical and laboratory studies did not achieve the practical or directly implementable scientific innovation potential that distinguished the award-winning work of recent years."
