For years, it was common practice for dentists to perform repeat
root canals and other procedures to
save teeth compromised by extensive
decay, gum disease and bone loss.
Today, the American Academy of
Implant Dentistry (AAID) said times
have changed and patients should
forego prolonged dental heroics to
save failing teeth and replace them
with long-lasting dental implants.
“There really is no justification for
undergoing multiple endodontic or
periodontic procedures, and enduring the pain and financial burden,
to save a diseased tooth,” said John
Minichetti, DDS, speaking for the
AAID. “The days are over for saving
teeth till they fall out. Preserving
questionable teeth is not the best
option from both oral health and cosmetic perspectives.”
Losing a tooth is an emotional
decision and patients must clearly understand the oral health and
cosmetic implications of preserving
questionable teeth. Even

well after either distraction osteogenesis or autogenous bone grafting, according to a new report published in the September 2009 issue
of the Journal of Oral Implantology.
Following alveolar reconstruction, endosseous implants support
and retain the prosthesis.
Therefore, it is important for the
method of alveolar reconstruction
to be highly compatible with the
subsequent implantation.
The authors conducted a retrospective analysis to determine
whether distraction osteogenesis or
autogenous bone grafting offers a
greater chance of clinical success.
The authors included 82 consecutive patients from the patient

in a retrospective analysis of the two
alveolar reconstruction techniques
and the subsequent endosseous
implantation.
All patients had been evaluated
for implant success in a 36- to
61-month follow-up. Implants preceded by autogenous bone grafts
had a success rate of 97 percent,
and those preceded by distraction
osteogenesis had a success rate of
98 percent. There was no statistical difference between the two
methods.

though patients often resist losing
natural teeth, in many cases the
best outcomes occur from extracting them and inserting implants,
which look and function like natural teeth.
“Our patients expect restorative
dental procedures to make their
smiles more attractive and longlasting. In most cases, implants
deliver the best results, as the ultimate goal is to achieve an esthetic
and functional restoration for years
to come,” Minichetti said.
Published studies have shown
there is a higher failure rate of
root canal procedures vs. dental
implants.
In some cases, root canals fail
because abscesses occur, and oral
surgery is required to clean out the
infected area.
Minichetti noted that a recent
study published in the Journal of
Oral Implantology showed that
single-tooth dental implants are
98.5 percent successful after seven
years and there was no discernable
bone loss in almost all the implant
sites.
First-time root canals fail 5
percent of the time, according to
the American Academy of Gen-

eral Dentistry, and at much higher
rates in repeat procedures. Further, endodontic surgical re-treatments, according to published
studies, have success rates ranging
from 37 to 87 percent.
Saving compromised teeth in
the esthetic zone with periodontal
treatments also can have unfavorable cosmetic results, according to
Minichetti.
“Periodontal procedures to
save decaying natural teeth can
require raising the gum line and
exposing teeth roots to anchor a
new crown,” he said. “The crown
needs something to hold onto, so
you have to push the gum tissue up with unfavorable cosmetic
impact.”
He noted that patients should
always ask the dentists how their
smiles will look if they chose to
save a questionable tooth in the
esthetic zone with a periodontal
procedure.
AAID is based in Chicago and
has more than 3,500 members. It
is the first organization dedicated
to maintaining the highest standards of implant dentistry by supporting research and education to
advance comprehensive implant
knowledge.

Implant Tribune | September 2009

Dr. Daniel Buser elected ITI president
The International Team for
Implantology, an academic organization dedicated to the promotion
of evidence-based research and
education in the field of implant
dentistry, has announced the election of Prof. Daniel Buser (Bern,
Switzerland) as its new president.
The elections were held at the
ITI's annual general meeting 2009
in Copenhagen.
Buser has been an ITI fellow
since 1986 and has taken an active
role in the organization's running
since that time.
He has been a member of various ITI committees, most recently
chairman of the education committee, as well as serving on the ITI
Board of Directors.
In 2007, he was nominated president-elect. Buser follows outgoing president Prof. Dieter Weingart
(Stuttgart, Germany), who led the
organization from 2005 to 2009.
Weingart will assume the role of
past president, and will continue to
serve on the ITI Board until 2011.
“Dr. Buser is an excellent educator and a charismatic leader,”
Weingart said. “His contribution to
the ITI, particularly in matters of

education, is vast and his dedication complete. I am confident that
both the ITI and the entire field of
implant dentistry will greatly benefit from his term of office as ITI
president."
Buser is an oral surgeon and
professor and chairman at the
Department of Oral Surgery and
Stomatology, as well as executive
chairman of the School of Dental
Medicine at the University of Bern,
Switzerland.
He has authored and co-authored
more than 200 publications and
book chapters, and is also a driving force behind the ITI Treatment
Guide series.
“I am excited to take on my
new role as ITI president, and I
look forward to working with the
ITI Board of Directors to further
establish the ITI as the leading academic organization in the
field of implant dentistry,” Buser
said.
“Our main focus in the upcoming four years of my presidency will be on quality assurance

president of the International Team
for Implantology.
sity Program, on strengthening
the ITI's independence, as well
as increasing ITI activities at a
national level through our country
sections.”
Buser received his undergradu-

ate and postgraduate degrees in
dentistry from the University of
Bern. He did research at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine
in Boston from 1989 to 1991, and
spent educational sabbaticals at
the Baylor College of Dentistry in
Dallas in 1995, as well as at the
University of Melbourne, Australia
from 2007 to 2008.
His main scientific interests are
in the field of tissue integration of
dental implants, the bone-implant
interface, bone regeneration in
defect sites, guided bone regeneration, autografts and bone substitutes, as well as long-term studies
on dental implants.
In addition to his work for the
ITI, Buser served as president
of the European Association for
Osseointegration from 1996 to
1997, was president of the Swiss
Society of Oral Implantology from
1999 to 2002 and was president
of the Swiss Society of Oral Surgery and Stomatology from 2002
to 2007.
He is also president of the Board
of the Swiss Implant Foundation
and a board member of the Osteology Foundation. IT

Pacific Section in Vancouver from
Aug. 20-22.
Beyond the teaching and the exhibits, relationships were continually
exhorted as a key part of membership
in the ICOI.
“More than education, we developed friendship and relationships,”
said Dr. Scott Ganz, session host
and speaker. “Camaraderie is a very
important part of the ICOI experience.”
Dr. Jack Krauser who spoke on
“Guided Implant Surgery: The Good,
the Bad and the Ugly,” agreed with
Ganz.
“We love implant dentistry,” he
said. “Throughout 20 years in ICOI,
I’ve made wonderful friends from
across the world.”
Despite encouragement to take
time to cultivate friendships, education was the focus of the event. The
theme was “Defining New Paradigms
in Implant Dentistry: Interdisciplinary
Concepts for Success.”
A sampling of speakers included:
• Dr. Renzo Casellini who spoke
on “Esthetics in Three Dimensions:
Simple, Fast and Predictable.” Casellini offered information on the newest
techniques in zirconium abutments,
over structures, crowns and full screwretained restoration in zirconium with
white and pink porcelain esthetics.
“Success is a team approach,” he said.

Look for an interview with Dr.
Kenneth W. M. Judy, co-chairman
of the ICOI, in next month’s Implant

Rendon/Implant Tribune)
“We really have a team, including the
patient. Teamwork means success for
these cases. No one can do it alone.
We need to work together.”
• Ganz (also session host) who
spoke on “The Impact of Digital
Dentistry on Prosthetic Paradigms.”
Ganz led the audience to understand
how to utilize technology in predicting implant placement and matching
implant design with available anatomy, or in anticipation of bone grafting
procedures. “New paradigms can truly
help us to plan our cases and treatment better,” he said.

• Dr. Natalie Wong who spoke on
“Destination … Digital! From Plans,
Scans and Now, Digital Impressions.”
Wong traced the history and evolution of digital implant dentistry and
offered suggestions on integrating and
utilizing technology within practices.
Her opinion is that the next phase of
implant dentistry in the digital revolution will be digital impression making.
Her components of an ideal digitable
impression included: allows ability to
scan quadrant to full arches; allows for
fabrication of all types of dental restorations; allows for subgingival prepa-

ration; and allows lab users to export
digital case data to file formats supported by CAD/CAM manufacturers.
• Dr. Michael Pikos who spoke on
“Sinus Grafting in the Presence of
Cysts and Polyps.” Pikos explained
how to assess the presence, size and
location of maxillary sinus polyps and
mucous retention cysts and offered a
treatment protocol for removing maxillary sinus polyps and mucous retention cysts simultaneously with sinus
augmentation surgery. He advocated
the use of cone-beam technology as
well, stating: “None of this can happen
without cone-beam technology.”
Speakers and attendees raved about
the Vancouver event and the quality of
the educational program.
“You have been subject to some
wonderful speakers, and I’m pleased
to be a part of this,” Pikos said. “This
organization is especially meaningful
to me personally because it’s where
I began speaking many, many years
ago.”

MaxilloPrep designed for bone, tissue removal
Bone chip extractors

As bone grafting and expansion
procedures become more commonplace in implantology, KOMET USA
is introducing three new specialized instruments for the safe and
effective removal of bone and soft
tissue.
Developed in conjunction with
Dr. Stefan Neumeyer of Eschlkam,
Germany, KOMET USA’s MaxilloPrep stainless-steel instruments
(trepan and centering burs, and
bone chip extractors) are essential
tools for successful implant surgery.

The
bone
chip
extractor
(9126.204.042/060) is designed
with a self-centering tip ensuring
correct positioning at the operative
site. This rotary extractor allows
precise, yet gentle removal of bone
chips, which can be collected and
evacuated using any standard bone
filter. MaxilloPrep instruments are
available in both a stainless-steel
starter kit (Kit 4571, containing one
of each instrument) or a complete
kit (Kit 4572, containing all eight
instruments, treatment tray and
container for sterilization).

Trepan burs
Trepan burs (TRT.205.045/ 055/065)
are designed for the removal of
bone blocks. With its state-of-the
art blade configuration, its cutting
teeth are arranged in pairs, allowing a non-traumatic treatment for
optimal results. Large perforations
within its working parts allow for
an unobstructed view of the site
and facilitate the removal of bone
cylinders. Depth marks around the
periphery allow exact determination of preparation depth.

Centering burs
Congruent
Centering
burs
(TRC.205.045/055/065) precede the

trepan burs and allow for exact positioning and controlled guidance.
Optimal centering and easy bone
penetration is due to their triangular tip. And because of their staggered (inclined) front toothing, cen-

tering burs provide a non-traumatic
treatment and the safe creation of
a circular guide groove. The bore
holes in its working part allow an
unobstructed view onto the operative site.

KOMET is a recognized worldwide
leader in the production of highly
specialized and precise dental rotary
instruments. KOMET operates in
the United States under the name
KOMET USA, and sells direct to practitioners and dental laboratories. The
company’s U.S. headquarters is located in Rock Hill, S.C.

Henry Schein to distribute Dentatus
Agreement expands
Schein’s offering
to cover full breadth
of dental implants
Henry Schein, the largest distributor of healthcare products and
services to office-based practitioners, and Dentatus, an innovative
designer and manufacturer of precision high-tech dental products, in
July announced a five-year agreement establishing Henry Schein
AD

as the exclusive distributor of the
Dentatus Atlas narrow body implant
system in North America, Australia
and New Zealand. Through this
agreement, Henry Schein will now
be able to offer dental practitioners
the full breadth of dental implants.
“In this important and growing
market, the Dentatus Atlas system
stands apart and is distinctly different from other systems, with
clear benefits that shorten healing time and increase patient comfort,” said Stanley Bergman, chairman and chief executive officer of
Henry Schein. “In North America
alone, we estimate the edentulous
population who could benefit from

this technology to be approximately
50 million people, with projected
6 million new edentulous patients
per year. We look forward to working closely with Dentatus to offer
these important new products to
our North American, Australian and
New Zealand dental customers.”
The Dentatus Atlas implant surrounded with the Tuf-Link Resilient
Denture liner provides secure retention and cushioned patient comfort.
The implant low profile eliminates
the need to drastically reduce the
denture, and its small diameter allows
placement where significant bone
loss has occurred without bone augmentation.

The Dentatus Atlas flapless surgical procedure, which is significantly
less expensive than a conventional
implant procedure, shortens healing
time and reduces discomfort. The
procedure requires no surgical incision and no sutures — both of which
are typical for wider, more conventional implants — and it can be performed using local anesthesia in the
office of a patient’s general dentist in
only 45-60 minutes. The patient can
walk out of the office wearing his or
her refitted denture right away.
With Dentatus Atlas implants, denture wearers of any age can experience healthier and better looking
smiles with comfortable and fully
functioning dentures. After undergoing the procedure, patients are able
to keep their dentures in place while
sleeping, brush them in the morning and treat them like natural teeth.
Dentures can be easily removed and
reseated without any stress.
Patients are able to laugh, smile,
maintain a nutritious diet and eat
their favorite foods with confidence.
Dentatus Atlas implants provide
patients with substantial relief from
the pain and discomfort they previously endured with ill-fitting dentures, while stimulating the jawbone
so less bone is lost. Dentures fit more
comfortably and properly support
facial features that may have been
previously lost, enhancing a patient’s
self esteem.
“In Henry Schein, we believe that
we have found a sophisticated distribution partner that can compellingly communicate the significant benefits of the Dentatus Atlas system to
dental practitioners,” said Bernard
Weissman, president of Dentatus
USA. “The company’s track record
of success in growing technologydriven products is impressive, and
we look forward to a close collaboration that will strengthen the
position of this innovative implant
system in these important markets.”

purpose of serving the then-emerging Scandinavian dental market, is

semi-adjustable articulators that

Astra Tech Implant System: setting new standards
The unique Astra Tech BioManagement
Complex™ design of the Astra Tech system
helps to optimize marginal bone maintenance with results that are at least four times
superior to the current standard norm.
The standard norm regarding dental
implant treatment success from 1986 accepts
a marginal bone loss of up to 1.5 millimeters.
However, it has been proven in study
after study, and documented in more
than 40 articles, that with the Astra Tech
Implant System the mean marginal bone
level reduction is only 0.3 millimeters over
five years.
Astra Tech encourages dental professionals to challenge the current standard

norm and demand more from their implant
system, both in terms of documentation and
results, all for the long-term benefit of their
patients.
When every millimeter counts, there is
no reason why any clinician or their patient
should accept a marginal bone loss of up to
1.5 millimeters.
Count on optimal marginal bone maintenance with the Astra Tech Implant System.
Why settle for less?
To learn more about the Astra Tech
Implant System and the scientific documentation go to www.astratechdental.com or call

Zimmer sinus lift
balloon joins
regenerative family

Zimmer Dental is pleased to
announce the availability of the Zimmer® Sinus Lift Balloon — the first in
a series of “sinus lift solution” products stemming from an exclusive
distribution agreement with Osseous
Technologies of America (OTA).
The minimally invasive Zimmer
Sinus Lift Balloon allows for improved
vertical sinus elevation results and
gives clinicians added security when
performing a sinus lift procedure —
protecting the Schneiderian membrane from tearing, which can significantly disrupt an implant case. The
balloon instrument is also well-suited
for measuring bone grafting material.
For example, 1 cc of saline, which is
used to inflate the balloon, is equal to
1 cc of grafting material.
The Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon
is available in three single-use configurations for optimum efficiency
and ease-of-use. The angled design is
ideal for lateral window procedures,
the straight model is well-suited for
a crestal approach and the popular
micro-mini design can be used for
either of these indications.
For more information, contact a
Zimmer Dental sales consultant or
customer service at (800) 854-7019 or
visit www.zimmerdental.com.
