he needle implants were designed and presented in the

Needle implants are cylinders of titanium provided with a tip that ends with
an obtuse angle, as to gently enter the
bone tissue (Fig. 1). They are mainly used
in diameters between 1.2 and 1.5 mm and
lengths from 25 to 40 mm.
At the coronal end, there are two fins
used for mounting on the mandrel that
must be mounted on the surgical handpiece. The mandrel is provided with two
grooves through which the fins of the
needle enter. Needle implants go inside
the bone tissue with a slow, swirling motion, using a surgical handpiece at low
speed (double green ring, 25-30 rpm).
The descent into the bone tissue is completed with a concave surgical chisel and
hammer, stopping as soon as one hears
the typical sound of the cortical bone
reached in depth.
Needle implants require reliable
means, which allow them to join together stably. During the ’70s, Pier Luigi
Mondani invented the intra­oral welding machine, that allows an immediate
connection of titanium implants. This
apparatus was conceived to weld needle
implants but can be successfully used as
well to connect any titanium implant:
emerging, submerged, endosseous or
subperiosteal. The connection can be
made either by welding a titanium bar
to the implants or welding the implants
directly to each other.

Indications
Welded titanium needle implants have
some specific indications in cases of
bone deficit, where the residual bone is
sparse and therefore the stability of the
implant system is entrusted to the cortical anchorage. The stability provided
by anchoring to the cortical bone allows
immediate loading. In particular, welded
needle implants give very good results in
the following situations of bone defect:
• upper anterior esthetic zone, as immediate post­extraction implants (Figs.
2a-c);
• posterior inferior district characterised by rarefied bone (D3-D4) (Figs. 3 and
4);
• area below the maxillary sinus, exploiting the space between palatal and
sinusal cortex (Fig. 5);
• as a support to other implants.

Statistical data
Between January 1996 and December
2012, we used 351 bicortical needle implants (ø 1.3 mm) in the posterior (behind
the fourth) atrophic lower sector, during
77 surgical interventions, with immediate welding and loading. The implants
were inserted in atrophic ridges of the
D3 -D4 bone.
In this study, 85.7 percent of the patients were female, while male patients
represented just 14.3 percent of the
group. The average age of patients was
61.4 years, in a range from ages 26 to
83. The first evaluation of the patients
was done using first-level X-ray examinations (intra­oral and panoramic). For
safety, we also used a TC to decide the direction of the implants along the side of
the inferior alveolar canal.
After piercing the bone crest surface,
the needle implant was mounted on the
mandrel, and by a slow rotary motion, we
arrived at the deep cortical bone. If you

also when the bone is rarefied (Fig. 4).
Overall success of the implants studied during the 1996-2012 time period
was 97.1 percent (341/351). Five­-year success rate was 99 percent (296/299) and
10­-year success rate was 95.8 percent
(138/144).

Conclusions
The titanium needle implant is a valid
therapeutic device, useful for dealing

with immediate loading cases of atrophy
in the esthetic zone, in the lower back
area, in the seat below the maxillary sinus and as a support to other implants.
Mandatory requirement is that all the
implants are bi-cortical and connected to
each other by intraoral welding. They are
not the first choice when the bone crest is
thick and deep. This technique is suitable
for cases in which bone is not particularly dense.

Zimmer Dental offers space-maintaining
resorbable porcine membrane

CopiOs Extend Membrane from Zimmer Dental can
be used in a variety of dental surgical procedures,
including guided tissue regeneration and guided
bone regeneration.

By Zimmer staff
AD

Zimmer Dental Inc., a leading provider
of dental oral rehabilitation products and
a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings Inc.,
is pleased to announce the availability
of the CopiOs Extend™ Membrane — a
biocompatible and resorbable, collagenbased membrane, derived from porcine
dermis — for use in a variety of dental
surgical procedures, including guided
tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided
bone regeneration (GBR).
CopiOs Extend Membrane offers clinicians the synergy of space and time
— promoting optimum resorption and
space maintaining conformance. Lasting six to nine months, the membrane’s
extended resorption profile is designed
to allow implant placement while subsequently providing ample time for unhindered regeneration. In addition, CopiOs
Extend Membrane has been designed
to conform to the defect with enough
structural integrity for necessary space
creation. Its cell occlusive nature allows
nutrients to permeate while blocking epithelial cells, thereby creating an environment more suitable for successful GTR
and GBR procedures, for example.
Clinicians can feel confident in the
safety and performance of the easy-touse CopiOs Extend Membrane. The biocompatible membrane is comprised of
highly purified, intact dermis. Supplied
sterile, it can be implanted dry or slightly
hydrated. Once applied, the membrane is
malleable and easy to reposition.
“Zimmer Dental continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to improving patients’ lives and providing clinicians with safe and effective products,”
said Harold C. Flynn Jr., Zimmer Dental
president. “With the launch of CopiOs
Extend Membrane, we have further expanded our industry-leading regenerative portfolio, which complements our
innovative dental implants and triedand-true restorative offerings. Clinicians
can rely on this long-lasting, resorbable
membrane for a range of oral surgical
procedures — from localized ridge augmentation and alveolar ridge reconstruction to filling bone defects, GBR and GTR
— for manageable and predictable regenerative outcomes.”

Reduce treatment time
with digital dentistry
At AAID

By Dean H. Saiki, DDS, and
Grant Bullis, Glidewell Laboratories
director of implant R&D and digital
manufacturing

A

72-year-old female patient
complained of a loose lower
denture that was painful to
wear and chew with. A routine
examination revealed a pronounced lack
of bone volume in the lower ridge in conjunction with a relatively high floor of
the mouth, making relines ineffective.
The decision was made to proceed with
a screw-retained, provisional fixed denture supported by four implants. The
restorative protocol for this case used
state-of-the-art techniques to improve
the accuracy of implant placement, optimize the function and esthetics of
the provisional, and reduce the time required for treatment.

Treatment objectives
The objective of the treatment plan was
to improve patient comfort and chewing function by replacing the patient’s
existing mandibular denture with a
screw-retained fixed implant bridge. The
provisional denture and final restoration
would be designed with dental CAD software, using the setup from the existing
denture.

Treatment planning
The patient’s existing denture was modified with fiduciary markers to serve as
the CBCT scan appliance. To ensure maximum accuracy of the surgical guide, an
extraoral scan of the denture was then
taken. A CBCT scanner was used to scan
the intraoral lower denture, maxillary
denture and the bite.
From these DICOM datasets, stereolithography (STL) files were extracted.
The bite scan was used to articulate the
scans of the lower denture and the maxillary denture.
Once the datasets were accurately
merged in the treatment-planning software, the implants were virtually selected and placed at the optimal positions
and angulations for the available bone
volume and prosthesis support. Multiunit abutments were used to correct the
angle of the two posterior implants and
to provide a common restorative platform across all implant sites (Fig. 1).
The DICOM data was segmented for
density, and models of the patient’s

and finished extraorally.

mandibular arch, provisional denture
and surgical guide were 3-D printed and
articulated, so the entire surgical and
prosthetic stack could be examined and
a surgical index fabricated on the articulated model between the guide and maxillary cast (Figs. 2a-c).

Implant placement
After administering mandibular anes-

thesia, the surgical guide was placed with
the aid of the surgical index.
The surgical guide was used to prepare
the osteotomies and guide the placement of four 4.7 mm implants. Primary
stability of all four implants was acceptable, and multi-unit abutments were
mounted on top of the implants.
The temporary prosthesis was held in
place with a luting index, and cold cure

The final restoration protocol made use
of intraoral scanning, dental CAD/CAM
and 3-D printing to deliver the final prosthesis in just three appointments.
• First appointment: The patient’s provisional prosthesis was used to guide the
design of the final restoration. First, a
scan was taken of the provisional in the
mouth, taking care to capture adjacent
anatomical landmarks. Next, the opposing denture was scanned extraorally.
Two additional scans were taken of the
lower denture seated in the mouth as
well as the edentulous arch. At the laboratory, technicians used the scan data to
design the final prosthesis, which included the milled titanium bar.
• Second appointment: The denture
setup was placed with one screw tightened on the milled bar, and radiographs
were taken to verify passive fit of the substructure. After making a minor fit adjustment, the provisional was reinstalled
and the verified denture setup was sent
back to the lab.
• Third appointment: The lab processed
the denture to the titanium bar with
acrylic to finish the final prosthesis (Figs.
3a-c). The provisional was removed and
the final fixed implant denture was delivered (Figs. 4a-d).

Conclusion
Guided surgery and dental CAD/CAM are
complementary technologies that can
make the surgical and restorative phases
of implant therapy more efficient and
predictable. Because we can predict the
implant position using guided surgery,
prosthesis design can be done presurgically.
Advanced treatment protocols that
leverage digital impressions, treatment
planning, guided surgery and dental
CAD/CAM technology are transforming
implant therapy, shortening treatment
times and improving prosthetic outcomes.

‘Guided surgery and dental CAD/CAM are complementary technologies
that can make the surgical and restorative phases of implant therapy
more efficient and predictable.’

Leveraging ATLANTIS patient-specific
CAD/CAM solutions for your
implant-supported restorations
By DENTSPLY Implants staff

T

he continued advancements in
technology and product design
further reinforce the simplicity and effectiveness of implantsupported restorative therapy. An excellent example of this is the ATLANTIS™
brand of patient-specific, CAD/CAM solutions, which includes cement-retained
and single-tooth, screw-retained abutments, as well as the latest ATLANTIS
ISUS suprastructures, including bars,
hybrids and bridges for fixed and removable implant-supported prostheses for
partially- and fully-edentulous patients.
Available for all major implant systems, ATLANTIS abutments are designed
and produced for the specific edentulous spaces in relation to the surrounding teeth and soft tissue, taking biology,
anatomy and engineering principles into
consideration. Unlike traditional prefabricated abutments that are circular in
shape, the unique anatomical shape and
emergence profile of ATLANTIS Abutments for cement-retained restorations
help to promote long-term soft-tissue
management and provide optimal support and retention of the final restoration, the company says.
In addition, for cases where the implant is placed deeper subgingivally, an
ideal margin height can be customized
and individually designed and manufactured for easy and safe removal of excess
cement. ATLANTIS Abutments are available in titanium, gold-shaded titanium
and four shades of zirconia for full versatility to meet all clinical preferences and
patient-specific demands for function
and esthetics.
For single-tooth restorations, where
the flexibility of a retrievable solution is
desired, an ATLANTIS Crown Abutment
is available in five different shades of zirconia, including a translucent option in
white.
All ATLANTIS abutments are supported by the ATLANTIS Abutment BioDesign Matrix™, which consists of four
key features (ATLANTIS VAD™, Natural
Shape™, Soft-tissue Adapt™ and Custom
Connect™) that work together to support
soft-tissue management for ideal functional and esthetic results. Incorporating
ATLANTIS abutments also helps to eliminate the need for inventory management
of stock components and simplify the
procedure for implant-supported restorations, the company says.
With DENTSPLY Implants’ recent introduction of ATLANTIS ISUS suprastructures, the ATLANTIS portfolio is
further expanded to also include a full
range of bar, hybrid and bridge suprastructures for all major implant systems.

ATLANTIS ISUS suprastructures are produced using the latest developments in
CAD/CAM technologies and supported
by computer-based industrial and medical device expertise. Unlike cast suprastructures, ATLANTIS ISUS suprastructures are milled from a choice of solid
blocks of titanium or cobalt-chrome,
eliminating the potential for a porous
material, according to DENTSPLY.
Moreover, milling strategies have been
optimized to ensure a precise, tensionfree fit. ATLANTIS ISUS offers freedom

and Svein Thorstensen, MDT, Dental Studio, Oslo, Norway

and flexibility for restoring partiallyand fully-edentulous arches and can be
designed for attachment to two or more
implants at the implant and/or abutment
level*. Using a wide range of attachment
components, both fixed and removable
prostheses options are available.
Whether it is an abutment or a suprastructure solution needed, incorporating ATLANTIS can be easy for both the
clinician and the dental laboratory.
All a clinician needs to do is to take an
implant-level impression and send it
to his or her laboratory of choice with a
request for ATLANTIS. In addition to its
simplicity, an ATLANTIS solution is often
more cost-effective than a techniciancast or a custom-milled abutment.
For the laboratory, ATLANTIS can also

be cost-effective because there is no need
for investment in materials, hardware or
software, something that is often a requirement of other CAD/CAM systems.
For added peace of mind, all ATLANTIS
solutions are also back by competitive
warranty terms**.

The new W&H straight and contra-angle
handpieces not only make working more pleasant but also more flexible and less tiring, the
company says. And all that with optimal visibility and perfect hygienic conditions.

and contra-angle handpieces has been expanded and particularly impresses with its ergonomics, a Mini LED+ with daylight quality,
flexible cooling with replaceable spray clips, a
scratch-resistant surface coating and the first
surgical contra-angle with a 45-degree head.
All straight and contra-angle handpieces can be
fully dismantled for superior cleaning.

Innovative performance features

Fatigue-free working

The W&H product portfolio for surgical straight

The ergonomic shape makes work less tiring.

The handpieces were specially designed
for a wide range of users, regardless of
whether they are right- or left-handed.

Perfect light with Mini LED+
The surgical straight and contra-angle
handpieces are now equipped with a
Mini LED+. This offers optimal illumination as the Mini LED+ can be integrated
very close to the handpiece tip, thanks to
it being half the size of a normal LED. For
the first time, the WS-56 (1:1), WS-92 (1:2.7)
contra-angle handpieces and the S-9 (1:1)
straight handpieces are now available
with light.
With their integrated generator, the
straight and contra-angle handpieces
can create the energy for the LED light all
on their own. As soon as the straight or
contra-angle handpiece goes into operation, the integrated generator produces
the electricity needed autonomously and
supplies the LED.

Flexible cooling
For the first time, cooling can now be individually adapted with replaceable spray
clips, so the coolant is always in the right
place, the company asserts. The spray clips
(for WS-75, WS-75 LG, WS-56 and WS-56 LG)
allow attachment of the coolant tubes
for external cooling and the internal bur
cooling (Kirschner-Meyer) on the left or
the right.

Perfect hygiene
The new scratch-resistant coating on the
surface of the straight and contra-angle
handpieces offers the optimal basis for
improved cleaning and hygiene, the company says. In addition, the new surgical
straight and contra-angle handpieces can
also be completely dismantled, thermo
washer disinfected and sterilized up to 135
degrees C.

The first surgical contra-angle
handpiece with a 45-degree head
The new WS-91 and WS-91 L G contra-angle
handpieces with a 45-degree head unite
the advantages of straight and contraangle handpieces for the first time. The
45-degree angle allows considerably better access and better visibility of the treatment site. This makes palatinal access to
the maxillary molars much simpler, even
with a small mouth opening.
In contrast, in buccal applications, there
is more space between the cheek and operating site. At the same time, the view is
barely affected.
A ratio of 1:2.7 makes it possible to work
quickly and effectively, allowing rotating
instruments to achieve speeds of up to
125,000 revolutions per minute. A threeport spray guarantees sufficient cooling of
the bur as well as the tooth and bone. According to the company, the contra-angle
handpiece with a 45-degree head is ideal
for surgical extractions of wisdom teeth,
tooth separations and apical resections.

ith the MGUIDE Guided Implantology System, only a
single CBCT scan is required
in order to start the planning

immediately.
The stone model and diagnostic wax-up
of the patient can be displayed digitally
on the CBCT scan data within the implant
planning software. This allows us to see
the current soft-tissue contour, the future
prosthesis plan, the patient’s bone volume,
the implants and even the abutments. With
this information, we can now create the
ideal treatment plan.
In fact, by using the surgical template, we
can create a model of the post-operative
condition, complete with analogs, prior to
the surgery.
By doing this, we can fabricate temporary
components to be immediately loaded after implant placement, so the patient can
go home having his or her teeth.

Case planning
The latest CBCT scan data is used for case
planning, allowing the location of the implant to be positioned with the precision
of one tenth of a millimeter. This reduces
the risk of error tremendously, and also the
risk of damaging any proximal anatomical
structures.
Because of the precise orientation, any
bone replacement may be avoidable. In situations where bone grafting is unavoidable,

sions such as this can be thoroughly discussed during the treatment planning.
Planning for implant placement with our
system allows informed decisions to be
made prior to the surgical procedure. This
preparation helps ensure that the implant
survival rate remains extremely high. By
way of prosthetic-driven planning, actual
surgery time can be reduced, and optimal
implant placement results in simpler prosthetic work. Why? Because you can analyze
the bone, the soft tissue and the proposed
tooth placement during the planning
stage. The ideal solution can be realized
right from the beginning.
In overdenture cases, the axial positioning of the implants can be automatically
made parallel. This allows better fixation of
the prosthesis, resulting in better comfort
and durability.

Surgery
AD

Our newly designed MGUIDE Guided Surgical Kit and Tools Kit work seamlessly
within our system. Unlike traditional guided surgical kits, our system has eliminated
the need for guidance keys or spoons.
The drills and sleeves work together to
center and stop at the precise depth and
positioning that was planned. Our innovative drills are sequenced according to our
implant lengths, so sleeve heights are not
required to be raised or lowered to achieve
accurate depth. These features not only allow you to change implant lengths at the
time of surgery, but also ensure that clearance is never a problem.
Raising the flap is not required, as tissue
punches are provided to perform minimally-invasive procedures. This means
minimal or no suturing, faster healing
time and esthetically pleasing restorative
results, all of which lead to greater patient
and clinician satisfaction.
The MGUIDE System goes beyond the
guided surgical procedure, providing you
with tools specifically designed to place
the implants through the template. This
ensures that the actual treatment goes
precisely as planned, from pilot drilling to
placement.

What makes the MGUIDE so special?
We have created a system that simplifies
the workflow for everyone involved. The
clinician now has the ability to responsibly
plan his or her case using all of the resources available. Bone quality, tissue height and
prosthetic plan information aid us in treatment planning, taking most of the guesswork out of the surgical procedure.
We know going in what the final outcome
should resemble, and from that knowledge, we create a precise and safe surgical
plan that can be executed with the utmost
ease. Our tools are designed to allow you
the most comfort and control during the
procedure, vastly shortening the actual
surgery time.
This can allow greater patient satisfaction, minimal pain and the opportunity
to treat more patients in one day. Shorter
chair time equals more turnaround. Being
able to conceptualize the treatment plan
and present it to your patients allows you
to keep them informed about what is going to happen. This increases their comfort
and enables them to be on board.
Our system allows you to map out the
road to success. The collaborative efforts of
