Implants abroad
Primary objective is to
provide affordable treatment
By Daniel Zimmermann
Dental Tribune International
A government-funded low-cost
dental implant from India is said
to be close to market release. The
new tooth replacement developed
by Dehli researchers as part of the
country’s New Millennium Indian
Technology Leadership Initiative is
supposed to take on the country’s
high prevalence of edentulism.
According to government statistics, between 12 and 30 percent of
Indians older than age 60 are suffering from complete tooth loss.
The project, which is said to have
cost almost $1 million, took five
years to complete and is now undergoing human trials.
Previous research on rabbits has
shown promising results in regard
to strength and susceptibility of
the implant, lead researcher Prof.
Mahesh Verma from the Maulana
Azad Institute of Medical Sciences in
New Dehli said.
While final costs for commercial
release still need to be calculated,
they are expected to be significantly
less than other tooth replacements
currently available in the market.
“It will be kept affordable as
that is the primary objective for
this development,” Dr. Verma told
Dental Tribune Asia Pacific. “It is to
serve the Indian masses.”
Most dental implants placed in
India are imported from overseas
and, therefore, only affordable to a
small part of the population.
Imports are estimated to cost
between $550 and $650 while the
national average monthly income
has only tipped $65 in 2009, according to figures of the Central Statistical Organization.
Verma estimates that 60,000
to 70,000 implants are placed by
dentists in India each year, which
falls short compared to its neighbor
China. The country is also competing with other countries in the
increasing medical and dental tourism market. IT

First-ever international conference on dental
and craniofacial stem cells planned for 2011
Columbia University’s College of
Dental Medicine recently announced
that it will host the First International Conference on Dental and
Craniofacial Stem Cells (ICDCSC)
to take place on April 27–29. This
will be the first ever assembly of the
world’s most prominent scientists in
the field of dental and craniofacial
stem cells.
More than 300 internationally
renowned scientists and leaders
in the field will come together to
encourage cross-disciplinary alliance and foster a collegial atmosphere to catalyze the advancement
of dental and craniofacial stem cell
research. The conference will be
led by Dr. Jeremy Mao of Columbia
University, Dr. Darvin Prockop of
Texas A&M Medical Center, and Dr.
Pamela Robey and Dr. Nadya Lumelsky of the NIDCR.
“The discovery of stem cells
derived from dental pulp has generated enormous enthusiasm and
momentum for stem cell research
as these stem cells can be harvested
noninvasively and have great plasticity and efficacy,” Mao said. “We
are very excited to bring together the
leading scientists and researchers
from around the world to share and
further their knowledge on dental
and craniofacial stem cells to propel
breakthroughs in stem cell research
and forever change medicine.”
Current studies show that dental
stem cells are on the verge of drastically changing treatments that run
the gamut from dental implants to
reconstructive surgery, as researchers have been able to re-grow both
teeth and jawbone.
Moreover, dental stem cells
demonstrate tremendous promise
in advancing the field of regenerative medicine, which continues to
make important strides in addressing degenerative diseases and organ
re-growth.

Osteogenics expands Global
Bone Grafting Symposium
with hands-on workshops
New in 2011, Osteogenics Global
Bone Grafting Symposium will offer
pre-symposium hands-on workshops
on Thursday, March 31. Individual
workshops will be led by Dr. Suzanne
Caudry, Dr. Dan Cullum and Dr. Sascha Jovanovic.
Clinicians will have the option
to choose one of three workshops,
which will take place on Thursday,
March 31, from 1–5 p.m., followed
by the main symposium on April
1–2. Each hands-on workshop will
have limited attendance to ensure an
intimate learning environment. Additionally, each workshop will include
all the instrumentation, equipment,
biomaterials, models and pig jaws or
ribs available to allow clinicians to
immediately practice the techniques.
Caudry’s workshop is titled “Clinical Guidelines and Surgical Techniques for Hard- & Soft-Tissue Grafting in Implant Site Development.” A
treatment-planning approach will be
presented that enables clinicians to
select the correct material and surgical technique for a variety of defect
types and challenges in implant site
development.
Focusing on enhancing bone quality and volume with ridge expansion
and sinus floor elevation, Cullum
will lead the “Bone Manipulation in
Implant Reconstruction” workshop.
Application of bone manipulation
techniques, including flap designs,
soft-tissue augmentation and the prevention of complications, will be discussed and practiced in this handson workshop.
Jovanovic’s workshop is titled
“Optimal Implant Placement & Bone
and Soft-Tissue Grafting.” In addition
to its focus on guided bone regeneration and connective tissue grafting
simultaneous to implant placement,
his workshop will also include extraction site management and sinus lifts.
Each workshop leader will also
lecture at the main symposium. Additional main symposium lecturers
include Dr. Craig Misch, Dr. Istvan

Biological allograft products applied to dentistry
By Jason M. 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
a n d
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 next described.
The block allograft eliminates the
need for autogenous bone harvesting
as it includes implantable corticocancellous bone.
A secondary benefit of this allograft
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 millimeters.
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 de-mineralized 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
in to 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 particulate
allograft. This unique allograft is
also helpful to 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.

Faced with lawsuit by BIOMET 3i’s Italian distributor,
Straumann Italia admits preclinical study was flawed
After being confronted with a suit
before an Italian court brought by Biomax, BIOMET 3i’s Italian distributor,
Straumann Italia admitted in court
that flawed clinical conclusions were
drawn from the preclinical study it
sponsored by Dr. Frank Schwarz comparing SLActive Implants to BIOMET
3i NanoTite™ Implants.
In addition, Straumann Italia admitted that it falsely identified BIOMET 3i
NanoTite Implants in its marketing
literature that referenced Schwarz’s
preclinical study. Straumann admitted
that the preclinical study, which was
published in the Journal of Clinical
Periodontology, entitled “Influence of
Titanium Implant Surface Characteristics on Bone Regeneration in Dehiscence-Type Defects: An Experimental
Study in Dogs,” concerns dehiscencetype defects artificially created in animals.
Straumann Italia admitted that if
such dehiscence-type defects created
during the preclinical study should
be found in humans, it would be correct to follow a bone reconstruction
procedure.
In addition, while the SLActive and
BIOMET 3i NanoTite Implants have
several design differences, Straumann also admitted that these other
design differences were not evaluated
by Schwarz and that the comparison
made by Schwarz concerned only one
of several issues that can determine
an implant’s success.
Straumann Italia’s marketing piece
highlighting Schwarz’s preclinical
study included a comparative photo of
two implants, one of which Straumann
identified as a BIOMET 3i NanoTite
Implant that had allegedly failed.
However, Straumann Italia now
admits that this allegedly failed
implant in its photos was not, in fact, a
BIOMET 3i NanoTite Implant.
“We are very pleased with the outcome of the litigation concluded with
this admission made by Straumann
Italia in favor of Biomax and continue to stand behind our NanoTite
Implant product line and its strong
global growth. We are confident that
outcomes such as this will encourage
industry to focus on credible, evidence-based science rather than inaccurate comparisons,” said BIOMET
3i President Maggie Anderson.
“BIOMET 3i will continue to support
clinical research that is accurate and
evidence based and let the results
speak for themselves.”
Clinicians are reacting to the recent
judgment.
“I have placed hundreds of
BIOMET 3i NanoTite Implants and
have experienced consistent success
in my practice,” said Dr. PO Östman,
a global opinion leader in the dental implant market and a clinician
and researcher in Sweden. Östman
added, “The flawed comparisons in
the study surely tainted the results in
this article.”
The following are excerpts from
the retraction.
“Straumann Italia informs that:
• Implants made of titanium, aluminum and vanadium alloys (TiAl6V4)
have been used for implants and orthopedic prosthesis for decades; with reference to own brochure entitled “FOR
LIFE”, Straumann recognizes that
TAV implants distributed by BIOMET
3i and Biomax cannot be considered
toxic in the light of existing scientific
literature, good clinical practice principles and that they respect binding
international norms.
• The pre-clinical study made by Dr.
Frank Schwarz, et al., with reference to
SLActive and NanoTite implants, con-
cern dehiscence-type defects artificially
created in animals and which cannot
guarantee, in absolute terms, identical
outcomes in humans. In fact, if such
dehiscence-type defects created during
that study should be found in human,
it would be correct to follow the procedure of bone reconstruction by bone
substitutes and/or membranes.
• SLActive and NanoTite implants
show differences in various respects,
such as macrodesign, diameters, surfaces and threads’ forms. The individual contribution of these differences have
not been evaluated in Dr. Schwarz
study.
• The comparison made by Dr.
Schwarz concerned only one of several
issues that can determine implant’s success.
• The comparison made in brochure entitled “STUDIO COMPARATIVO SULLA RIGENERAZIONE OSSEA
IN DIFETTI DI TIPO DEISCENZA
SU IMPIANTI IN TITANIO CHIMICAMENTE MODIFICATO (SLACTIVE) O
NANOSTRUTTURATO (NANOTITE),”
regarding the study of Dr. Schwarz,
contained comparative photos of two
implants; the one falsely named as
a NanoTite was not a BIOMET 3i
implant. IT

Top-notch backward planning
with Immediate Smile and SimPlant
Immediate Smile. (Photo/Provided
by Materialise Dental)
AD
When dealing with edentulous
patients, it is paramount to start at the
end-point by ruling out any anatomical, functional and esthetical surprises during implant surgery.
SimPlant® reveals all details about
a patient’s bone and soft tissue —
crucial information when engaging in restorative-driven planning.
Thanks to SimPlant and the Immediate Smile® model, an accurate restoration can be made well in advance
— seeing patients leave surgery with
a carefully prepared new smile is the
fruitful result of thinking and acting
ahead.
The Immediate Smile model plays
a pioneering role on the market
in that it enhances communication
with the dental lab by delivering
all the necessary tools to fabricate
a fixed restoration prior to surgery
— a bone model, silicone soft tissue
and copy of the scan prosthesis. This
is interdisciplinary dentistry at its
best, according to the company.
The bone model represents the
patient’s bone anatomy and contains
implant sites that correspond with
the SimPlant 3-D plan.
The implant sites are adapted
to the dimensions of the implant
analogs. A time- and money-saving
fixation system even allows for easy
recuperation of implant analogs.
A lifelike silicone soft tissue,
which is perforated at the implant
positions, represents the patient’s
soft tissue, helping the lab take
into account the realistic soft-tissue
thickness during fabrication of the
restoration.
A prosthesis duplicate is a copy of
the scan prosthesis that fits perfectly
onto the bone model allowing for
accurate articulation. It also enables
the lab to fabricate the restoration
the way the clinician planned it.
At the time of surgery, the restoration is then relined in the patient’s
mouth to ensure a passive fit onto
the implants.
As a result, reverse planning has
never been more efficient for all parties engaged in implant treatment
and avoids cumbersome procedures.
Clinicians don’t need to use a guide
to fabricate a model, because this
increases the risk of damaging the
guide.
Also, they can follow the same
routine procedures as with all
standard guided surgery procedures, and implant holders are not
required.
Immediate Smile makes clinicians’ businesses stand out, the
company says. It’s a unique marketing tool that can be used to
attract patients when other implant
dentists do not follow a strategy of
thinking ahead in terms of adopting new technology and bringing
esthetics into the equation.
Patients are given an accurate,
predictable, esthetic and cost-efficient outcome.
No more discomforting and
uneasy smiles because of endless
waiting times to receive new teeth,
no more unforeseen expenses that
hit patients hard in their wallets.
They won’t even have to think about
taking days off at work or worry
about time- and money-guzzling follow-up appointments and the drag
to get there every time and on time.
Overall, an Immediate Smile procedure enhances treatment acceptability because patients know they will
have new teeth in no time.
The Immediate Smile model
is compatible with all SAFE SurgiGuide® kits available on the
market: ANTHOGYR Guiding System (Anthogyr), Facilitate™ (Astra
Tech), Navigator™ (BIOMET 3i),
ExpertEase™ (DENTSPLY Friadent),
