ZWP online

ZWP online is a German-language online news portal dedicated to the dental sector, operated by the Leipzig-based publishing house OEMUS MEDIA AG. It has existed since 2008 and describes itself as the news portal for the dental industry ("das Nachrichtenportal für die Dentalbranche"). The portal serves dentists, dental assistants, dental students and other professionals with daily reporting on professional politics, events, business and law, as well as science and research. Beyond general dental news, ZWP online provides topic-specific coverage of implantology, cosmetic dentistry, laser dentistry, endodontology, oral surgery, periodontology, prophylaxis, dental hygiene, orthodontics, dental technology and digital dentistry. Its event section informs readers about trade fairs, congresses, conferences and continuing-education opportunities, and the site also offers an overview of chambers, KZVen (regional dental associations), professional associations and societies, as well as training and education institutions such as universities, master schools, training centres and e-learning providers. Since 1 September 2010 the portal has also been available for Switzerland and Austria, with regionally tailored news, publications and events. In 2021 ZWP online added the ZWP Study Club, a modern e-learning platform that by the time of the German Wikipedia article had already gathered more than 32,500 members. The portal distributes newsletters for dentists, dental assistants, the dental industry, dental technicians, orthodontists and dental students, plus monthly specialist newsletters on dental focus areas. It maintains a presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, Facebook and YouTube, and offers interactive features such as reader surveys. The ZWP online Library provides an overview of all OEMUS MEDIA AG publications, beginning with the magazines ZWP Zahnarzt Wirtschaft Praxis, ZWP Spezial and ZWP Extra, alongside customer magazines, compendia, yearbooks and e-books, all available as PDF and e-paper. The ZWP online Mediathek collects practical case examples from all areas of dentistry in the form of video contributions and image galleries, and the editorial team regularly reports from specialist congresses and dental trade fairs. The portal is a digital brand of OEMUS MEDIA AG, a privately held German media company; in September 2026 the supervisory board appointed Katja Kupfer to the management board as Chief Content Officer, underscoring the group's continued investment in content-driven dental media.

ZWP online was launched in 2008 as a German-language online news portal for the dental sector, operated by the publishing house OEMUS MEDIA AG. From the outset it was positioned as a daily news source for dentists, dental assistants, dental students and other professionals, covering professional politics, events, business and law, and science and research. On 1 September 2010 the portal expanded its reach by adding editions for Switzerland and Austria, each with regionally tailored news, publications and events. This step turned ZWP online from a purely German offering into a German-language portal serving the wider DACH dental market. Over the following years the portal broadened its editorial scope to include dedicated coverage of implantology, cosmetic dentistry, laser dentistry, endodontology, oral surgery, periodontology, prophylaxis, dental hygiene, orthodontics, dental technology and digital dentistry. It also built out service content, including an overview of chambers, KZVen, professional associations and societies, and of education and training institutions such as universities, master schools, training centres and e-learning providers. In 2021 ZWP online added the ZWP Study Club, a modern e-learning platform that by the time of the German Wikipedia article had already gathered more than 32,500 members. The portal also developed a newsletter portfolio for dentists, dental assistants, the dental industry, dental technicians, orthodontists and dental students, plus monthly specialist newsletters on dental focus areas. ZWP online extended its presence into social media with profiles on LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads and Facebook, where news, events and curated finds are posted daily, and it maintains its own YouTube channel. Interactive features such as reader surveys with published evaluations were added to engage the professional audience. The ZWP online Library was developed as a central overview of all OEMUS MEDIA AG publications, beginning with the magazines ZWP Zahnarzt Wirtschaft Praxis, ZWP Spezial and ZWP Extra, and extending to customer magazines, compendia, yearbooks and e-books, all available as PDF and e-paper. The ZWP online Mediathek complements this with practical case examples from all areas of dentistry in the form of video contributions and image galleries, and the editorial team regularly reports from specialist congresses and dental trade fairs. As of September 2026 the portal remains active under OEMUS MEDIA AG. In that month the supervisory board of OEMUS MEDIA AG appointed Katja Kupfer to the management board, where she also took on the role of Chief Content Officer with immediate effect, signalling continued investment in the group's content operations, including ZWP online.
