The articles - follow-ups on anatomic implant cases - were rejected mostly with the excuse that they didn't fall into the journal's area of interest. (I don't have access to the actual letters at the moment; I hope they're eventually published on the website.) We're talking here about top journals such as the International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. (Not their area of interest? Seriously?!)

More worrying yet were responses from implantologists and dentists on community sites such as Dentaltown. There was a shocking level of ignorance about osseointegration and zirconia, and a belittling attitude to such a 'newfangled' treatment. (Of course, it didn't help that the CEO on our side has a very low tolerance threshold, and expresses himself with typical Austrian directness - to put it mildly...)
