Prof. Dr. Manfred Lang founded the International Education Centre for Dental Implantology IFZI in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1995, educating over 5000 dentists globally. Throughout his extensive career in Implantology, he has made numerous inventions and holds several patents. Notably, in 1998, he created the Sinus-Implant-Stabiliser (SIS) and the Swing-Lift instrument set. A significant achievement was the patenting of the Sky-Implant-System in 2002, which is now distributed by Bredent medical in over 50 countries, with more than 50,000 SkyImplants inserted worldwide by 2009. Lang's most important development for the future of dental implantology is the "Implant Phantom Simulator," which facilitates practical surgical and prosthetic training on artificial patients. After three years of development, the structured training program has trained over 400 dentists globally between 2006 and 2009. This concept is expected to be integrated into pre- and post-graduate training in German universities and other associations. The training has already been adopted in foreign universities, such as in Poznan, Poland. In 2009, he introduced a sinus retractor that enhances efficiency during sinus-lift surgeries. Additionally, the new classification of dental implantology established during the 1997 Consensus Conference in Frankfurt is based on his concept, replacing earlier indication classes. Lang has published two influential books, "Sinusli
