Experts
discuss future
of implants in
Gothenburg
By Daniel Zimmermann, DTI Group Editor

Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark of
Sweden has urged dentists worldwide
to refocus on their patients’ needs.
Despite all recent developments in
oral and maxillofacial reconstruction,
the field should put more efforts to the
development of simple and affordable
solutions rather than following commercial interests, he told Dental Tribune during an exclusive interview at
the first P.I. Brånemark Symposium
in Gothenburg this month.
Eighty-year old Brånemark was
the first clinician to place a modern
dental implant back in 1965. He also
discovered the concept of osseointegration, which had a huge impact on
oral rehabilitation and other clinical
disciplines such as orthopedics.
The P.I. Brånemark Symposium,
which is supported by Nobel Biocare,
is supposed to be the first in a number of interdisciplinary events that
focuses on issues such as the quality
of life, economic and ethics in regard
to oral rehabilitation.
It drew more than 250 international scientist and dental experts
to Gothenburg in order to meet and
discuss the latest concepts and developments in oral and maxillo-facial
reconstruction including the latest
advancements in implant surfaces
and bone augmentation, as well as
imaging and CAD/CAM-based prosg IT page 2

Implant specialists
offer tips in New York
By Sierra Rendon, Managing Editor

The Greater New York Dental
Meeting (GNYDM) is traditionally an
event where the most up-to-date techniques are taught and discussed, and
this was no different in 2009.
Implants were a hot topic at the
event, which took place Nov. 29–Dec.
3. Here is a sampling of the many
GNYDM speakers and topics that
involved implants:
• “You’ve Taken Implant Training
... What Do You Do Next?,” by Lynn D.
Mortilla, which discussed integrating
implants into your practice.
• “Immediate Tooth Replacement
in the Esthetic Zone,” Dr. Barry Levin,
which showed that the time frame
of three to six months of unloaded
healing is not always mandatory any
longer. He explained how immediate
temporization can give the patient
an immediate sense of security and
esthetics.
• “My First Esthetic Implant Case
— Why, How & When?,” by Dr. Marius Steigmann, explained that success from the esthetic aspect requires
bone height and width, soft-tissue
architecture and prosthetic restorations close to nature.
• “Mini Dental Implants to Retain
Lower Dentures,” by Dr. Bruce Lish,
which showed how mini dental
implants can be used to help retain
and stabilize a complete lower denture.

Above, Dr. Bruce Lish of New York City prepares for his talk on ‘Mini
Dental Implants to Retain Lower Dentures’ in the Live Dentistry Arena.
Below, Dr. Dan McEowen speaks on ‘High-Resolution Cone Beam with
PreXion 3D’ during the Dental Tribune Study Club Symposia.

thetics.
The meeting also presented new
studies revealing promising satisfaction figures among patients who
received treatment with dental
implants.
“Osseointegration has been the
major breakthrough in 20th century oral rehabilitation and brought
together clinicians from different
disciplines who otherwise may
not have met,” said Dr. Daniel van
Steenberghe of Belgium, scientific chairman of the symposium.
“The purpose of this meeting is to
enhance this cooperation for the
sake of the patient.”
According to the latest industry
figures, the worldwide market volume for dental implants was $700

Osteogenics event back in Scottsdale
2010 Global Bone
Grafting Symposium
will feature worldrenowned speakers
Osteogenics Clinical Education, a
division of Osteogenics Biomedical,
has announced dates for its 2010
Global Bone Grafting Symposium.
The symposium will be held
March 26 and 27 at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Led by keynote speaker Dr.
Michael Pikos, the symposium will
feature presentations from worldrenowned speakers in dental bone
grafting, including Drs. Dexter Barber, Suzanne Caudry, Daniel Cullum, Andreas Siebold, Hom-Lay
Wang and Thomas Wilson, Jr.
Approximately 300 clinicians
from around the world are expected
to attend the symposium. This will
mark the second consecutive year
Osteogenics Clinical Education has
hosted the symposium in Scottsdale.   
“Based on last year’s overwhelmingly positive attendee feedback, this
educational format of having key-

note speakers, case presentations
and a hands-on workshop is very
effective,” said company president
Shane Shuttlesworth.
“Once again, we’re honored to
have such a talented and experienced group of lecturers, and we
know that attendees will be very
pleased with this program.”
The 2010 symposium will focus on
treatment planning routine and complex bone-grafting cases in an environment conducive to group learn-

ing. Attending clinicians will be able
to actively participate in the symposium through interactive treatment
planning sessions and a hands-on
ridge augmentation workshop.
“Comprehensive diagnosis and
treatment planning is the cornerstone of all that we do in dentistry”,
Pikos said. “While there can be more
than one treatment plan for a given
case, there is but one diagnosis, and
cone-beam CT has had a dramatic
impact on this critical process, both

in my private
practice and
with the Pikos
Implant Institute.”
The Westin Kierland
Resort & Spa
was chosen
due to the

Practice Management

Implant Tribune | December 2009

Building an implant business
By Roger P. Levin, DDS

Implant practices are a very
diverse group. Many practices “dabble” in implants. Some are more
involved but don’t place nearly as
many implants as they desire. A
select few become purely implant
practices.
Although not every clinician wants
an implant-only practice, most would
love to place more. The best way to
do that is examine the behavior of
highly successful implant practices
to see how they got that way.

Three key habits of highly
successful implant practices
During the last two decades, Levin
Group has consulted to many highend implant practices and guided
them to achieve their goals. These
Levin practices have the following
characteristics in common.
1) Everyone on the staff is wellversed in the benefits of implant
dentistry. In many practices, it is
only the clinician and/or an implant
treatment coordinator who have a
complete understanding of how to

discuss implants with patients. What
is rarely recognized is that other
staff members are asked by patients
for their opinions. This means that
patients are generally seeking validation from other sources before
making a decision.
2) All patients are educated about
dental implants. There should be a
clear set of systems, procedures and
scripts to ensure that patients understand all of the benefits of dental
implants. Even if patients don’t need
dental implants yet, remember that
they have family members, friends,

co-workers and acquaintances that
may.
3) All Levin practices employ an
implant treatment coordinator (ITC)
once they reach approximately 250
implants per year.
Levin Group has found that very
few clinicians are able to exceed
the 250–300 implant per year range
(in group practices this means per
clinician) without an ITC. We have
found that training an implant treatment coordinator leads to a 30 to 33
percent increase in implant practice
production.

Conclusion
AD

Dental implants will change dramatically over the next few years. There
will be more competition as more
general dentists become involved.
We will see breakthroughs in technology and even the expansion of
large implant surgery centers. Stay
competitive by taking the steps outlined above and enjoy sustained
implant growth over the life of your
practice! IT

Zimmer Dental, a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer
Holdings, is pleased to announce its
exclusive distribution of the ERA®

The tried-and-true ERA Mini
Implant System is an industry leader in implant-based denture stabilization — a procedure that can
markedly enhance a patient’s quality of life.
The versatile ERA Mini Dental
Implant System enables the transitional function of a denture during
the osseointegration of traditional implants, as well as long-term,
affordable, chairside denture stabilization in as little as one visit.
This multi-dimensional system
comprises the ERA Mini Implant,
surgical instrumentation and prosthetic components, including the
unique angulation-correcting, vertically-resilient properties of the
widely used ERA attachment.
Using the ERA Mini Dental

procedure.”
