Look who’s 40
ICOI celebrates
milestone with a look
at implant dentistry’s
innovations,
complications
and controversies
F
or 40 years, the ICOI has been
educating clinicians on implant
dentistry, along with all the innovations, complications and
controversies that go with it. During its
recent ICOI World Congress, the organization honored that history and took a look
back at where this once fledgling “study
club” came from.
What once was run from the office of
ICOI co-chair Dr. Kenneth Judy now occupies an entire floor of an office building
in Upper Montclair, N.J. What once started as a small group of clinicians has now
grown to encompass more than 13,000
dues-paying members and spans all continents except for Antarctica.

JOI study: Surgical techniques compared for
reconstructing the jaw for dental implants
F
or a successful dental implant,
the first step for some patients is
reconstructive surgery of the jaw.
A bone graft to augment the upper jaw can now be achieved by several
methods. To assess these methods, their
risk of sinus perforation and the best
evaluation technology, researchers put
these procedures to the test on 20 human
cadaver specimens.
The Journal of Oral Implantology presented a pilot study comparing transcrestal techniques for maxillary sinus
floor elevation. This is a surgical procedure that increases bone volume and
prepares the upper jaw for dental implants. The study sought to determine if
any of the techniques carried a greater
risk of surgical complications.
Perforation of the sinus membrane is
the most common surgical complication
associated with maxillary sinus floor el-
evation. Perforations have been linked to
acute or chronic sinus infection, edema,
bleeding, loss of bone graft material and
failure of the implant.
The conventional method for this procedure is the lateral approach, which
gains surgical access through the zygomatic bone bordering the maxillary
sinus cavity. While this is an invasive
technique, there is a low incidence of
complications.
A less invasive procedure uses a crestal
approach through the osteotomy prepared for dental implant placement.
However, this is a sensitive technique
that restricts the surgeon’s direct visual
examination.
The current study used 20 human cadaver specimens with 40 intact sinuses,
as test subjects for three transcrestal
surgical techniques. One experimental
group used the DASK kit, which features
specially designed surgical drills to apply mechanical and hydraulic pressure.
Another experimental group received a
surgical protocol that permitted entry
into the sinus through crestal bone that
had been eliminated during site preparation. A control group was treated with
the osteotome/crestal sinus membrane
elevation, or OCSME, technique.
Postoperative assessment of the specimens determined whether membrane
perforation had occurred. Direct visual
endoscopy, cone-beam computerized
tomography, and periapical radiographs
were used.
While the study found endoscopy to
be the preferred form of detecting membrane perforations, no significant differences were found in the rate of perforations among the surgical techniques
used.

Maxillary Sinus Membrane Perforation
During Endoscopically Assessed Crestal
Sinus Floor Elevation: A Pilot Study,” Journal of Oral Implantology, Vol. 38, No. 4,

ITI Congress Canada: Analyzing the risks
and benefits of emerging technologies
This year’s International Team for Implantology (ITI) Congress Canada took
place in September in Toronto.
Close to 250 professionals in implant
dentistry attended the congress that undertook to analyze the risks and benefits
of emerging technologies in implant
dentistry and scrutinize them against
the backdrop of current best practices.
The two-day congress included top-class
lectures given by specialists from Canada and abroad.
The first day was devoted entirely to
Urs Belser and Daniel Buser (Switzerland), who presented an evidence-based
rationale for early implant placement
AD
and contour augmentation, handling
of esthetic failures, fixed implant restorations in the esthetic zone, treatment
planning principles for the esthetic zone,
the use of provisionals on final esthetics
and more.
The second day brought together Canadian clinicians from across the country
and beyond to discuss topics ranging
from technology transfer to each and
every step along the digital workflow. For
the first time, the ITInet Global Forum
came into play for the question period
after each session.
“We were extremely gratified by the
response of the attendees, all of whom
were very satisfied knowing that we had
provided them with a superb encapsulation of emerging technologies, put them
under the microscope and provided
the tools to evaluate them,” said Robert
Carmichael, education delegate of the ITI
section Canada.
The ITI Congress Canada was also the
setting for the presentation of the André Schroeder Research Prize 2012 to
Dr. Cornelius von Wilmowsky, a PhD
dentist, oral surgeon and researcher at
Friedrich Alexander University of
Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. The ITI’s
13,000th member, Dr. Adam Kaplan, was
also welcomed during the congress.

Sirona advocates Dr. Sameer Puri and Dr.

The Zimmer Trabecular
Metal Dental Implant.

immer Dental Inc., a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of
Zimmer Holdings, Inc., is pleased
to announce that it has received FDA approval to use the term “osseoincorporation” in describing the unique bone
healing process made possible with its
revolutionary Zimmer® Trabecular Metal™ Dental Implant.
Osseoincorporation refers to the healing potential of bone onto an implant
surface and into an implant structure.
The Trabecular Metal Dental Implant
features an osteoconductive mid-section, formed from Trabecular Metal material, designed for ingrowth as well as
ongrowth in a process new to implant
dentistry — osseoincorporation.
Human studies of the Trabecular Metal
Dental Implant started in 2010. In a study
of Trabecular Metal Dental Implants in
canine mandibular models, evidence of
ingrowth by maturing bone was documented as early as two weeks after implantation. In a human proof-of-principle
study, survival rates have been strong
with implants restored at two weeks.
Immediate loading is indicated when
there is good primary stability and an
appropriate occlusal load.
Manufactured at Zimmer’s TMT facility in Parsippany, N.J., and used in Zimmer’s cutting-edge orthopaedic devices
for more than a decade, Trabecular Metal
material is a three-dimensional, highly
biocompatible material — not an implant surface or coating — with up to 80
percent porosity for bone ingrowth and
a structure comparable to cancellous
bone.
The interconnected porosity is designed to enhance secondary stability
through a high volume of ingrowth.
Combining the popular features of the
Tapered Screw-Vent® Implant with the
unique properties of Trabecular Metal
material, the Trabecular Metal Dental
Implant is compatible with the Tapered
Screw-Vent Surgical Kit and prosthetics
for easy incorporation into treatment
plans.
For decades, Zimmer Dental has gained
the trust of thousands of clinicians
worldwide who count on its comprehensive line of products to deliver successful
patient outcomes. By looking to new and
innovative technologies and leveraging
its relationship with its parent company,
Zimmer Holdings, Zimmer Dental continues to reinforce its commitment
to
offering stateof-the-art dental solutions.

SimPlant GO: new solution in guided implant surgery
M
SimPlant GO by Materialise Dental.
(Photo/Provided by Materialise Dental)
aterialise Dental just
launched a new userfriendly implant planning solution. With
SimPlant GO, there are no surprises
during surgery because you have optimally planned the implants in the
bone — and with SurgiGuide, this
planning is then transferred into a
fully predictable surgery.
SimPlant GO’s intuitive navigation,
3-D images and simple four-step process is so straightforward that you
can learn it over lunchtime, during a
break or in-between appointments,
the company said.
This software is made for dentists
who have only a few minutes to become familiar with this easy 3-D
implant-planning software.
SimPlant has been hugely successful
during the past 20 years in addressing the needs of the implant specialists, the company said. However, some
dentists who were placing implants less
frequently felt overwhelmed by the
amount of flexibility that SimPlant has
offered. SimPlant GO has been designed
to specifically address their needs.
The solution has been specifically designed for dentists without a cone-beam
scanner in their office.
“Although cone beam is the way of
the future, not everybody is willing to
invest in it yet. And now dentists have
a great, low-threshold solution to start
with computer-guided implantology,”
said Bert Van Roie, SimPlant product
manager for Materialise Dental.
“We strongly believe there is a place for
our earlier products, so we will continue
to invest in their future, and new versions of SimPlant Planner, Pro and Master will be released this fall,” said Bart
Swaelens, CEO at Materialise Dental.
“Expanding our portfolio is our way of
ensuring that the best implant planning
software and surgical guides on the market reach the widest audience possible.”
Part of the scan-plan-guide process,
SimPlant GO is more than just a fancy
new computer software program; it’s
part of a full solution for your cases.
“On top of this, the process is a cool and
smooth user experience,” he added.
