The health complications of being
overweight, such as increased risk
of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes
and certain cancers, have long been
reported. Health-care professionals
often urge patients to manage their
weight and strive to get physical
exercise each day to achieve and
maintain overall health. And now,
researchers have uncovered another
benefit of maintaining a fit lifestyle:
healthy teeth and gums.
In a study published in the August
issue of the Journal of Periodontology, researchers found that subjects who maintained a healthy
weight and had high levels of physical fitness had a lower incidence
of severe periodontitis. Using body

German Society for Oral Implantology (DGOI) for the second time
in only five years.
From Aug. 26–28, leading international members of the implant
scene will get together at the
Hamburg Convention Center for
the 7th International Annual Congress of the DGOI and the 27th
World Congress of the ICOI.
This joint congress once again
shows the closeness between the
German Society for Oral Implantology and its international parent
organization.
The scientific directors of the
main podium for 2010 will be Dr.
Hom-Lay Wang from the United
States, representing the ICOI, and
Dr. Georg Bayer from Germany,
president of the DGOI.
The program will cover the following topics: “Digital Planning
for Exact Implant Positioning,”
“Complications and Problem Man-
agement,” “Innovations in Implant
Therapy,” “Growth Factors and
Predictable Bone Regeneration”
and “Predictable Aesthetics: Concepts For Success.”
More than 30 international
speakers will be presenting evidence-based assessments and
introducing new developments in
oral implantology.
In addition to the main podium schedule, the congress will:
devote Saturday morning to
young implantologists; have a
two-day auxiliary program for
staff members; allow for many
international members to participate in the congress via an
extensive table clinic and poster
presentation competition; and
feature several workshops compliments of sponsors on Thursday morning.

with the results of a periodontal
examination. Those with the lowest
BMI and highest levels of fitness had
significantly lower rates of severe

Periodontitis is a major cause of
tooth loss in adults, and research
has suggested gum disease is associated with other diseases, such as
heart disease, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
Samuel Low, DDS, MS, associate
Implant Tribune | August 2010
dean and professor of periodontology at the University of Florida College of Dentistry and president of the
American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), says that research connecting overall health and periodontal health should motivate people to
maintain a healthy weight and get
enough physical fitness.
“Research continues to demonstrate that our overall health and
oral health are connected,” Low said.
“Weight management and physical
fitness both contribute to overall
health; and now we believe staying
in shape may help lower your risk of
developing gum disease.
“Since gum disease is related to
other diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, there
is even more reason to take care
of yourself through diet and exercise.”
Low also encourages comprehensive periodontal care through daily
tooth brushing and flossing, and routine visits to a dental professional,
such as a periodontist. IT

The fourth International Congress
on 3-D Dental Imaging, sponsored
by Imaging Sciences International
and Gendex Dental Systems, held this
year in La Jolla, Calif., offered attendees and the dental media an ideal
setting in which to learn about 3-D
technology.
Experienced dental clinicians and
professionals shared their considerable knowledge of 3-D’s past, where
it is today and where it’s going in the
future. Attendees were provided with
a wealth of information from speakers and vendors that assisted them
in their practical application of the
everexpanding technology.
The two-day congress utilized lectures, panel discussions, break-out
sessions and live demonstrations to
allow for full participation and interaction among those gathered at the
event.
Attendee Dr. Christopher Phelps
of Charlotte, N.C., said: “There was
definitely a myriad of course topics here, including detailed clinical
information. And for those of us who
already have the technology, it was
helpful to have courses that focus on
non-clinical aspects, as well, such as
marketing and both medical and dental insurance reimbursement.”
A new speaker at this year’s congress, Dr. John Graham, focused on
clinical findings not apparent with
2-D radiology and staying ahead of
the curve when it comes to dentistry’s
evolving standard of care involving
CB/CT.
“The dentists who attended the
congress were looking to learn more
about a technology that can help them
advance patient care,” he said. “I

a greater understanding of this and
more.”
Returning speaker and moderator, Dr. Scott D. Ganz, presented on
how the utilization of cone-beam data
provides clinicians with a new sense
of confidence to diagnose, plan, communicate and execute dental implant
reconstruction and related procedures, such as bone grafting. As Ganz
said, “It’s not the scan, it’s the plan!”
Commenting on the congress’
other clinical courses, Ganz added:
“Attendees benefited greatly from
world-class speakers who illustrated
a variety of applications for both general and specialty practices.”
Dr. Sharnell Muir spoke on the use
of CBCT in conjunction with CAD/
CAM applications that, in part, covered the process of in-office milling of
surgical guides and restorations.
Mark Hillebrandt, director of product management for ISI and Gendex,
said: “Dr. Muir’s presentation gets
right to the heart of how dynamic
3-D technology is — the ability to
simultaneously plan restorations and
implants in a single piece of software
is a game changer for how patient-
driven dentistry is accomplished. She
very effectively illustrated the power
of a brand new level of CBCT-CAD/
CAM integration.”
Also in attendance, Henrik Roos,
president of Imaging Sciences and
Gendex, noted the attendees were
very eager to learn about the benefits
of 3-D technology.
“We are proud to sponsor this
comprehensive educational event
that offers dentists the information
they seek — how to better treat their
patients and how to expand services
in their practices,” he said.
The companies also announced
the upcoming fifth International Congress on 3-D Dental Imaging will be
held in Dallas at the Gaylord Texan
from Nov. 4–5, 2011.
The ISI and Gendex dedication to
education is exemplified in their collaboration to deliver quality courses

Product Review

Biological allograft products applied to dentistry
By Jason Yamada, DDS, MS
The advent of human bone grafting has led to applications within
the specialties of dental and sinus
reconstructive surgery for corrections to maladies such as ridge augmentations, sinus elevations and
repair of other bony defects.
There are a myriad of specialized
allograft products for various dental,
oral and sinus reconstruction. This
article describes products for use
by general practitioners, endodontists, oral surgeons, maxillofacial
surgeons, periodontists and other
related specialties.
The preparation of targeted bone
grafts for the mandible and maxilla
include the preservation of minerals and collagen while removing
inactive pathogens, antigens, fatty
tissues and other decayed materials.
The minerals and collagen
become the building blocks to complete and rapid bone regeneration
as the expected outcome for your
patients.
Mandible and maxilla bone grafts
can be applied to dental surgery procedures for needed graft areas to fill
voids left by bone decay and loss, for
sinus grafts or for implants.
Preservation of such grafts should

include at least a five-year shelf life
at room temperature. Specific types
of biological allografts for these uses
are described next.
The block allograft eliminates the
need for autogenous bone harvest-
ing as it includes implantable corticocancellous bone.
A secondary benefit of this
allograft is that it virtually eliminates
the need for a follow-up surgery,
improving efficiency and shortening the patient’s rehabilitation time.
The block allograft comes sterile
and ready to use when needed. It
makes a fine, stable ridge augmentation in preparation for subsequent
implants in patients with verifiable
loss of bone volume due to atrophy. Typical sizes are between 10 to
15 mm.
The cortical allograft includes a
high-quality, malleable bony structure that can be used to effectively
maintain spatial volume, such as
the cases of sinus elevation, extraction sockets and augmented ridges.
When implanted, it acts as a barrier membrane to bacteria and other
decaying agents.
Subsequent dental implants are
accomplished and supported by
generation and remodeling of critical vascular bone tissues. Cortical
allograft sizes range from 250 to
2,000 microns and volumes between
0.5 to 2.0.
The
cancellous
particulate
allograft can absorb its own weight
in fluid due to its malleability and
elasticity. The allograft forms an
exceptional biological incubation
area via a demineralized matrix to
allow the in-growth of red blood
cells to aid the remodeling process.
This allograft has been a reliable
choice for many dental and oral
surgeons as it is known for its effective and efficient bone regeneration
properties.
During the regeneration process,
healthy natural bone is incorporated into the remodeling. Future
implantation for prosthetic therapy
can be placed with great results
due to the localized augmentation
of the ridge. Extraction sockets with
osseous defects are also effectively
filled using the cancellous particu-
late allograft. This unique allograft
is also helpful in raising the floor of
the maxillary sinus. Other applications include the reconstructive augmentation of the alveolar ridge and
the reparation of defective infrabony
periodontal structures.
If you are in the market to purchase human bone allografts, select
products with the American Association of Tissue Banks accreditation
to ensure you get the best uniform
quality and standards. IT

Quick and easy prosthetic planning
By Dr. Lieven Renier and Dr. Dominik Muylaert
The primary and most important complaint of this 17-year-old
woman was lack of esthetics. She
also complained about tooth mobility and limited functional comfort.
She was afraid to lose her teeth at
“any moment.”

At the age of 4, an embryonic
sarcoma of the naso-pharynx was
diagnosed. The sarcoma was treated with chemotherapy, followed
with radiotherapy.
As a result of this therapy in the
very early stage of facial forming,
growth of the maxilla and all structure in the field of view of radiotherapy were compromised.

Fabrication of a bite index
A bite index ensures that the prosthesis remains well-positioned and
the jaws stabilized at the time of
scanning. Make sure to use a radiolucent silicone material.

Integrating the Dual Scan
Markers
Dual Scan Markers (Materialise Dental) are prefabricated markers and
can be integrated in or glued on the
surface of the prosthesis. The Dual
Scan Markers do not cause scatter,
even in CB/CT images, which allows
for a correct registration in SimPlant.
It is very important to use a radiolucent resin to fixate the markers;
otherwise their visibility in the images will be disturbed. Exercise caution in product selection as most
materials for fabrication of temporary restorations are radiopaque.
The surface was roughened a little
bit and eight markers were glued on
the outer surface of the prosthesis.
It is important to distribute the
markers, some close to the outer
border and others close to the toothgingiva border.
The same day after the scan was
taken, the Dual Scan Markers were
removed. When the surface is only
roughened and no bonding agent
is used, this process is very easy to
follow.
The Dual Scan Package contains
a sample product of Triad Dualine
(Trubyte). It is a dual-cure resin,
which allows for fast fixation of the
markers when light cured.
3-D imaging and integration
of the prosthetic information
in SimPlant planning
Two scans were taken with the
Scanora® (Soredex) cone-beam 3-D
scanner.
The first scan was of the patient
wearing the prosthesis with markers
and bite index. The second scan was
of the prosthesis alone.
It is very important that during
the second scan, the prosthesis is
positioned in the same way as in the
first scan! Both scan data sets were
named similarly and saved in a separate folder.
First, the scan images of the
patient wearing the scan prosthesis
were loaded into SimPlant Pro. Next,
using the Dual Scan Module registration wizard, the scan images of
the prosthesis were loaded into SimPlant Pro and automatically matched
with the original patient data.
Final treatment plan
Based on the prosthetic information
and anatomy, the final treatment
plan was made and communicated
to the patient and her parents.
During evaluation of the patient’s
anatomy, it appeared as if implant

without an onlay bone augmentation procedure.
Taking into account the medical
history, bone augmentation procedure was not advisable.
When combining the prosthetic
information of the temporary prosthesis (which pleased the patient)
from an esthetic point of view, the
treatment plan needed to be reconsidered.
Taking into account the prosthetic set-up, implant treatment seemed
more realistic despite the limited
vertical bone height.
As can be seen in the images, this
is a very small jaw with a short dental arch, which means that occlusal force will also be limited. Six
Osseospeed® (Astra Tech) implants
were planned; three of 6 mm, one of
8 mm and two of 9 mm.
At position #11 and #21, no
implants were planned because of
limited bone volume near the foramen and to avoid phonetic complaints. A pontic design in the frontal area allows for more prosthetic
freedom.
Two fixation screws were
planned, more or less in the same
direction of the implants, to avoid
tilting the guide. The more vestibular direction allows for placement
during closure with the surgical
guide.

physical depth control and guided
implant placement.
A mucosa-supporting surface was
chosen to allow for flapless implant
placement.
As healing and osseointegration
would be compromised, the goal
was to work as much as possible
in an atraumatic way. With flapless surgery, the periosteum is not
removed and, therefore, blood supply is not compromised, allowing for
better healing.
In addition, the fit of the temporary restoration is not compromised.
The prosthesis can be easily relined
at the implant sites, allowing the
patient to go home, wearing her
temporary prosthesis.
Then there was six months of
healing in combination with 10 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
Final restoration
The final restoration will be a CAD/
CAM milled titanium “wrap around
bar.” The bar will be made directly
on the implant level as there is no
height available for placing an abutment. IT

Dent-X Strato now offers
lower-dosage applications
(Photo/Provided by ImageWorks)

The Strato Digital is now
available with low-dose
and frontal dentition
applications.
Dent-X is proud to announce that
its high-end panoramic/cephalometric X-ray, the Strato Digital, is
now available with low-dose and
frontal dentition applications.
Offices now have the ability to
conduct a low-dosage scan that
shows the full patient dentition. Clinicians can use this view to see if a
patient has his/her wisdom teeth or
might require corrective practices,
such as braces, while using a fraction of the radiation. This scan has
a faster rotation and uses less X-ray
dose for an overall drop in radiation.
The Strato Digital is also introducing its frontal dentition examina-
tion. This view allows a clinician to
see the frontal dentition only.
This, combined with the ability
to take half-pans, means one can
see the right half, left half or frontal
view of any panoramic X-ray without exposing unnecessary regions.
The Strato Digital now comes
standard with more than 13 applications, including digital linear tomography.
The cesium iodide CCD sensor
provides the highest quality images
in any examination type.

Suni offers 3D-only
CBCT with highresolution images
and affordable price
Suni Medical Imaging has
introduced a 3-D cone-beam CT
(CBCT) system for the dental and
endodontic markets designed for
affordability and high-definition
images.
Engineered for ease of use, this
new high-definition imaging system is equipped with simple-to-use
“Easy3D” software and includes
quick 3-D image reconstruction
times.
At a price of less than $75,000,
the Suni3D HD system boasts the
lowest price in the market ever for
3-D systems.
Many practitioners look at price
as a major hurdle in entering the
3-D market. Suni’s new 3-D-only
CBCT system provides entry to 3-D
imaging at a price never before
seen in the U.S. market.
The Suni3D HD system has a
.08 voxel size, among the elite
voxel sizes currently in the industry, providing image definition and
anatomical landmarks that cannot
be seen by traditional 2-D imaging.
Suni3D HD is a perfect fit for endodontists and practitioners performing implants.
“Suni has always been interested
in the specialized needs of endodontists,” said Paul Tucker, vice
president of marketing. “The small
field-of-view design is perfect for
quadrant dentistry, while keeping
radiation doses for patients at a
minimum.
“The Suni3D HD system is one of
the few systems on the market with
a 5 x 5 cm focused field-of-view,
meaning lower doses of radiation
for the patient and less liability for
the doctor.”
The Suni3D HD system is perfect
for capturing the necessary 3-D anatomic structures for even the most
demanding endodontic procedures,
according to the company.
Suni3D HD optimizes the clinician’s practice while allowing him
or her to provide the exceptional endodontic care that patients
deserve. The new 3-D-only system
is also upgradeable to include a
panoramic option should the practitioner decide to perform panoramic imaging in the future.
“Suni has always been a marketdriven company,” said Bill Fitzpatrick, CEO of Suni Medical Imaging.
“The new Suni3D HD system is
yet another addition to the string
of innovations that Suni has provided to the dental industry. And,
the price point for the Suni3D HD
system will allow all practitioners
to benefit from the improved diagnosis and treatment planning that
the system provides.”
The Suni3D HD system is currently available for purchase in the
United States.

Guide Right by DéPlaque launches GENERATION II
Bending tool designed to be
used with Guide Right
GENERATION II Guide Posts
Guide Right™ by DéPlaque
announces the GENERATION ll
Bending Tool, an innovative system
of components for the planning and
positioning of guide posts and guide
sleeves in surgical templates with
use of three-dimensional cone-beam
X-ray imaging for precision implant
placement.
This is a technique that allows
you to fabricate, evaluate, correct and
position implants precisely right in
your office or by your lab.
The GENERATION ll Bending Tool
is designed to be used with the Guide
Right Generation ll Guide Posts. Guide
sleeves are fabricated into a surgical
template, evaluated with 3-D X-ray
imaging, the angles of the guide post
corrected and the implant placed.
The GENERATION ll Bending Tool
is used to bend the guide post both
mesio-distally and bucco-linqually. It
is calibrated in 1-degree increments.
The guide post is placed in the bending tool and can easily be corrected
with the bending stylus.
A surgical template using the
Guide Right Surgical Components
is fabricated and evaluated with a
periapical or 3-D X-ray prior to surgery. The difference in the actual
angle of the guide sleeve and the
desired angle of the guide sleeve can
be determined by laying the Guide
Right Protractor over an X-ray or
measuring the angle with the conebeam software.
The correction of the angle can
then be made by bending the guide
post in the bending tool and remaking
the template.
If the direction of the guide post is
corrected but the bodily alignment is
off, an offset guide post in 1.0 mm or
2.0 mm is used.
The GENERATION ll Bending Tool
has three Bending Styluses available
to be used with the bending tool to
bend 3.0 mm, 4.0 mm, and 5.0 mm
guide posts.
Using the Guide Right Bending
Tool to bend the guide posts accurately corrects the angle of the guide
sleeve.
This is based on the angle determined by the 3-D scan image. If the
angles need to be changed, a new
template needs to be made with the
corrected changes.
The GENERATION ll Bending Tool
allows the implant-placing surgeon,
restorative clinician and lab technician to efficiently and effectively
communicate and execute a precisely
placed implant from the osteotomy to
the prosthetic restoration.
The GENERATION ll Bending Tool
is simply and cost effectively a triedand-true method to “get it right,” as
Guide Right by DéPlaque’s slogan
advises.
