FAQ – Frequently asked questions

General questions about integrative-biological dentistry

Integrative biological dentistry views the mouth as part of the entire body rather than an isolated system. While conventional dentistry focuses primarily on restoring dental function, integrative biological dentistry goes beyond that by:

  • Using biocompatible materials, avoiding toxic or immunologically stressful substances.
  • Applying minimally invasive treatment methods to support natural regeneration.
  • Reducing inflammatory stress to relieve the immune system and prevent chronic diseases.
  • Prioritizing integrative health optimization beyond the oral cavity.

Additionally, this approach achieves highly aesthetic treatment results, which positively impact well-being, self-confidence, and overall health.

The immune system protects the body from harmful influences. Chronic inflammation in the oral and jaw area, incompatible materials, or silent infections can overburden the immune system, potentially leading to autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular issues, or neurological disorders.

Integrative biological dentistry focuses on inflammation-free, immune-neutral materials and therapies to stabilize the immune system and reduce the risk of chronic illnesses.

Only biocompatible and metal-free materials are used to prevent unnecessary immune stress. These include:

  • Ceramic implants – metal-free, biocompatible, durable, and stable.
  • Ceramic fillings & dental restorations – free of toxic components, offering optimal compatibility.
  • Special plastics – free of hormone-active plasticizers for temporary solutions.
  • Autologous blood concentrates (PRF/PRP) – to support natural wound healing and tissue regeneration.

These materials minimize the risk of incompatibilities, toxic burdens, and chronic inflammatory reactions.

Integrative biological dentistry procedures are particularly gentle and well-tolerated.

  • Risks such as inflammation or material incompatibility are minimized by using biocompatible materials.
  • Modern diagnostics (e.g., immune analyses, material testing, radiation-free ultrasound diagnostics) help identify individual risks beforehand.
  • Targeted aftercare and regenerative measures such as PRF therapy (autologous blood concentrates) optimize wound healing.

Integrative biological dentistry is ideal for:

  • Health-conscious individuals who prioritize a sustainable, vital lifestyle and seek optimal oral and general health.
  • Athletes who want to enhance their performance and recovery through immune relief.
  • People with unexplained health issues that may be linked to silent inflammation in the oral cavity.
  • Patients with chronic diseases such as rheumatism, multiple sclerosis, or autoimmune disorders, as it helps reduce immune stress.
  • Allergy sufferers and those with material sensitivities who prefer metal-free dental treatments.

Ceramic implants & metal-free dentistry

Ceramic implants offer both immunological and aesthetic benefits:

  • Biocompatibility – They do not release immunologically active titanium particles that could burden the immune system.
  • Better soft tissue integration – Ceramic forms a tight connection with the oral mucosa, reducing bacterial adhesion.
  • Higher resistance to inflammation – Since no particles are released, peri-implantitis is almost eliminated.
  • Aesthetic advantages – The white color prevents dark gum margins.
  • No interaction with electromagnetic fields – Unlike titanium, ceramic does not carry electrical charges that may affect the nervous system.
  • Immediate implantation possible – Ceramic implants can often be placed directly after tooth extraction, shortening healing time and reducing complications.

In most cases, the ceramic implant is placed immediately after tooth extraction into the existing socket. This has several advantages:

  • The jawbone remains stable and does not resorb.
  • The patient requires only one surgical procedure, reducing the risk of complications, pain, and healing time.
  • The minimally invasive technique often eliminates the need for complex bone augmentation procedures.
  • The implantation process is gentle and promotes maximum regeneration.

Ceramic implants are extremely durable due to their biologically inert properties.

  • With proper care, stable bone conditions, and a healthy lifestyle, they can last a lifetime.
  • Modern ceramic implants are fracture-resistant, as current materials offer high stability.
  • Longevity also depends on factors such as oral hygiene, diet, immune health, bone metabolism, and lifestyle (e.g., smoking).
  • Crucial factors for durability include bone quality at the time of implantation and the extent of pre-existing inflammation.

No, both ceramic and titanium implants typically integrate within 3–4 months, with full osseointegration completed after 6 months at the latest.

A key advantage of ceramic implants is that they do not release immunologically active titanium particles, which, according to current research, promotes healthier bone regeneration.

(Source: Osseointegration and Osteoimmunology in Implantology: Assessment of the Immune Sustainability of Dental Implants Using Advanced Sonographic Diagnostics, Journal of International Medical Research, January 2024.)

Yes, ceramic implants are particularly suitable for allergy sufferers.

  • They are bioinert, meaning they do not release immunologically active particles that could burden the immune system.
  • No interaction with soft tissues – Unlike metals, ceramic implants are fully biocompatible and are well accepted by the oral mucosa.
  • Aesthetically superior – Their white color and lower bacterial adhesion contribute to long-term, sustainable, and healthy results.

Integrative Biological Dental Treatment & Inflammation Management

Chronic jaw inflammations are silent but immunologically active bone areas with elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines such as RANTES/CCL5. These can place a long-term burden on the immune system and contribute to the development of systemic diseases.

Targeted regeneration of these jaw areas is crucial to reduce stress on the body and improve overall health.

Our clinic utilizes advanced diagnostic tools to precisely identify inflammatory stress in the jaw. These include:

  • CaviTAU® (transalveolar ultrasound diagnostics) – a radiation-free method for bone density measurement and detection of silent inflammations (FDOK/NICO).
  • 3D X-ray (CBCT/DVT) – detailed imaging for precise diagnostics and treatment planning.
  • AI-supported X-ray analysis – ensuring highly accurate evaluations.
  • OroTox tests – detecting toxicity from root canal-treated teeth.
  • Blood tests (RANTES/CCL5, TH1/TH2 regulation) – assessing chronic inflammation and immune burden.
  • Saliva tests (multi-element analysis) – evaluating metal exposure from dental materials.

This comprehensive diagnostic approach ensures that all relevant factors are considered to create an individualized and targeted treatment plan.

Silent inflammations in the jaw act as a constant stress on the immune system, leading to the continuous release of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. This can contribute to various systemic health issues, including:

  • Autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis).
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) due to ongoing immune activation.
  • Neurological issues (e.g., migraines, trigeminal neuralgia, concentration problems).
  • Cardiovascular diseases, as chronic inflammation is linked to atherosclerosis.
  • Digestive issues, as inflammatory signals from the jaw can affect gut microbiota.
  • Skin conditions (e.g., neurodermatitis, acne), which can worsen due to chronic immune stress.

Integrative biological dental treatment follows several key steps:

  • Comprehensive diagnostics to identify inflammatory foci.
  • Creation of an individualized treatment plan based on immune regulation and material compatibility.
  • Minimally invasive removal of chronic inflammatory areas, supported by regenerative techniques.
  • Use of biocompatible materials (e.g., ceramic implants) for optimal healing.
  • Postoperative IV therapy to support healing and immune function.
  • Follow-up immunological assessments (e.g., resonance measurement of implants after 6 weeks).

Yes! Removing chronic inflammatory sites in the jaw can significantly relieve immune stress.

  • Lower systemic inflammation levels lead to improved immune function.
  • Reduced stress hormone levels (adrenaline, cortisol) promote better recovery and sleep.
  • A stabilized oral microbiome supports gut health, which plays a central role in immune balance.
  • Eliminating chronic infections lowers the risk of systemic diseases.

Preparation & aftercare for dental procedures

  • Optimize bone metabolism – Supplement with Vitamin D3/K2 (5,000 IU), Vitamin C (2g daily in ester or liposomal form), Omega-3 fatty acids, and zinc-magnesium complex.
  • Ensure proper protein intake – 1-2g protein per kg body weight daily to support collagen formation.
  • Stay well-hydrated – Drink 2.5-3 liters of water per day to enhance healing.
  • Improve oral hygiene – A professional dental cleaning (PZR) before surgery is recommended.
  • Protein-rich foods (fish, meat, eggs, legumes, bone broth) to support tissue regeneration.
  • Bone healing protocol – Targeted supplementation with D3/K2, Omega-3, Vitamin C, and amino acids.

PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) are autologous blood concentrates that accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration.

  • A patient’s own blood is centrifuged to concentrate growth factors essential for healing.
  • PRF is applied to the surgical site to enhance tissue regeneration and prevent infections.
  • Ibuprofen (up to 3x daily, if necessary) as the standard pain reliever.
  • Additional Novalgin or Voltaren Plus can be used if stronger pain relief is needed.
  • Most patients experience minimal pain and swelling due to gentle surgical techniques and optimal post-op care.
  • Dairy products, coffee, alcohol, spicy foods – these can impair healing.
  • Strenuous exercise, sauna, hot baths – may increase blood pressure and cause bleeding.
  • Smoking – significantly slows down healing and should be strictly avoided.
  • Initial healing: 3-4 days.
  • Implants are fully integrated within 3-4 months, in some cases up to 6 months.
  • 9 months after surgery, bone healing can be assessed with CaviTAU.
  • Mouth rinses with chamomile, sage, or BlueM (oxygen-based) to promote mucosal healing.
  • Gentle oral hygiene – use a soft toothbrush and avoid excessive pressure on the surgical site.
  • Avoid chemical mouthwashes, as they can disrupt the natural healing process.

Diagnostics & treatment concepts at Biohealth Munich

  • CaviTAU® (ultrasound bone density measurement) for detecting hidden jaw inflammations.
  • 3D X-ray (CBCT/DVT) for precise jawbone analysis.
  • Blood tests to assess toxic burdens, inflammatory cytokines, and immune status.

CaviTAU® is a modern transalveolar ultrasound diagnostic tool that detects silent jawbone inflammations (FDOK/NICO) by measuring bone density in different regions.

  • It helps identify chronic inflammatory areas around dead teeth, foreign materials, or incompatible titanium implants.
  • It allows radiation-free post-surgical healing assessments about 9 months after surgery to confirm proper bone regeneration.
  • It is a revolutionary upgrade in dentistry for both patients and practitioners.
  • Detects hidden inflammation that is often not visible in traditional 2D panoramic X-rays due to overlapping tooth roots or adjacent anatomical structures.
  • Essential for planning implant placements and bone augmentation procedures to avoid sensitive structures like nerves (N. alveolaris inferior) or the maxillary sinus.
  • Ensures precise and safe surgical procedures while minimizing risks.
  • The ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) must always be considered to ensure radiation exposure is minimized while obtaining the necessary diagnostic information.

During the initial appointment, we assess not only acute complaints but also chronic health burdens and potential material intolerances.

  • Comprehensive diagnostics to identify inflammatory foci in the oral and jaw area.
  • Creation of a customized treatment plan aimed at immune relief, biological regeneration, and aesthetic restoration.
  • Transparent cost explanation before starting treatment, ensuring clarity and confidence in your decision.

In addition to metal-free ceramic implantology, we offer various biological treatments for health optimization:

  • Metal detoxification with bioinert ceramic restorations.
  • FDOK and NICO jawbone restoration to remove chronic inflammatory areas.
  • CARE section: Biological dental cleaning, caries and periodontitis therapy using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF).
  • PERFORMANCE section: Biohacking techniques such as light therapy (Photobiomodulation ATP 38), IV therapies with high-dose vitamins and minerals to optimize healing and overall health.
  • DIAGNOSTICS section: Individualized screening using state-of-the-art imaging, ultrasound, toxicity screening, and saliva analyses to identify and address underlying health concerns.

The oral and jaw area plays a key role in immune regulation and overall health.

  • Many inflammations develop silently (without pain) and remain undetected, potentially leading to systemic health issues.
  • Chronic inflammatory processes in the jaw can overwhelm the immune system and contribute to long-term health conditions.
  • Early diagnostics and targeted treatment can help prevent serious health complications.
