Study: Healthy gums
may equal healthy lungs

Dental
implants can
be successful
with less root
than crown
Dental implants are now a common way to replace a tooth. But a
dentist must first determine that an
implant restoration can be successful for a particular patient.
As an indicator, dentists use the
crown-to-root ratio — how much of
the tooth extends above the jawbone
and how much is in the bone. However, the ideal crown-to-implant
ratio for the replacement tooth has
yet to be determined.
A new study in the current issue
of the Journal of Oral Implantology
evaluated the health of implants that
had been in place more than five
years. By examining the crown-toimplant ratios in these cases, the
authors found that this factor was
not as important to the success of
implants as previously thought.
Radiographs were used to examine 309 single-tooth short-length
implant-supported restorations in
194 patients. All the implants had
been surgically placed between February 1997 and December 2005.
The ideal crown-to-root ratio for
a tooth to serve as an abutment for
a partial denture is considered 1 to

Group’s annual meeting
to focus on ‘Combining
Fundamental Principles
with New Technologies’
Recognizing implant dentistry’s
global reach, the Academy of Osseointegration will debut an International Symposium to highlight
clinical research, technology and
treatment advances that may be
unfamiliar to U.S.-based practitioners during the AO’s 2011 Annual
Meeting, taking place March 3–5, in
Washington, D.C.
This focus on international innovations is part of the meeting’s overall theme, “Back to the Future: Combining Fundamental Principles with
New Technologies for the Next 25
Years.” The theme will serve as a
guide for applying the knowledge
gleaned during the last quarter century to the technology of tomorrow,
Annual Meeting Program Committee Chair Dr. Tara Aghaloo of Los
Angeles said.
“The 2011 annual meeting will
illustrate that the most effective
technological advances will reinforce fundamental principles and
improve outcomes,” she said. “To
maintain the credibility of our rapidly growing field, we must avoid
embracing technologies that do neither.”

2 — twice as much root as crown. But
previous studies have given mixed
results about ratios for implanted
teeth. Excessive crown-to-implant
ratios have been named as detrimental to long-term survival of an implant,
while disproportionate ratios have
been noted in high rates of implant
survival.
The current study found an average crown-to-implant ratio of 2 to 1.
Natural teeth with such ratios would
often be recommended for extraction and replacement.
The authors found that stable
implants could be produced with less
of the tooth serving as root. Additionally, the study found no statistically significant relationship between
increasing crown-to-implant ratios

Implants see fastest growth in emerging markets
By Daniel Zimmermann, Group Editor
Dental Tribune International

Premium manufacturers are
driving the market for dental
implants and bone-craft substitutes in countries such as China
and India, according to iData
Research.
In a market report, the
Canada-based consulting company has forecasted the market volume of both countries for dental
implants to exceed $400 million
by the year 2017.
Strong double-digit growth
rates were also predicted for Brazil, another potent global emerg-

AD

ing market.
The rapid growth of dental
implants will also drive the market for dental biomaterials and
bone-craft substitutes, the report
states.
The number of procedures
using these materials is expected
to reach almost 400,000 in both
countries by 2017.
“The de-regulation of dental
care services in China and India
has fueled growth of private dental clinics in major urban centers,” said Dr. Kamran Zamanian,
CEO of iData.
“In addition, the low cost of

labor has kept implant procedural
costs relatively low, promoting
dental tourism from countries
such as Japan, South Korea and
Australia.”
Markets in China and India
are currently dominated by a few
foreign manufacturers such as
Dentsply-Friadent, Nobel Biocare
or Straumann.
The Swiss-based company
particularly has increased its
market share in China and South
Eastern Asia with the introduction of products including the
Bone Level Implant and SLActive dental implant surface tech-

nology.
Global business consultant
Frost & Sullivan recently awarded
the company with its 2010 Asia
Pacific Dental Implant Company
of the Year Award for superior
performance in different areas
such as strategic product development.
Europe still holds the largest
share of the $3.2 billion global
dental implant market followed
by the United States, Korea and
Japan.
The market itself is projected
to grow by more than 20 percent
during the next five years.

Healthy
gums may
lead to
healthy lungs
Maintaining periodontal health
may contribute to a healthy respiratory system, according to research
published in the Journal of Periodontology. A new study suggests
that periodontal disease may
increase the risk for respiratory
infections, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
and pneumonia. These infections,
which are caused when bacteria
from the upper throat are inhaled
into the lower respiratory tract, can
be severely debilitating and are one
of the leading causes of death in the
United States.
The study included 200 participants between the ages of 20 and 60
with at least 20 natural teeth. Half
of the participants were hospitalized
patients with a respiratory disease
such as pneumonia, COPD or acute
bronchitis, and the other half were
healthy control subjects with no history of respiratory disease. Each
participant underwent a comprehensive oral evaluation to measure
periodontal health status.
The study found that patients
with respiratory diseases had worse
periodontal health than the control group, suggesting a relationship between respiratory disease
and periodontal disease. Researchers suspect that the presence of oral
pathogens associated with periodontal disease may increase a patient’s
risk of developing or exacerbating
respiratory disease. However, the
study authors note that additional
studies are needed to more conclusively understand this link.
“Pulmonary diseases can be
severely disabling and debilitating,”
said Donald S. Clem, DDS, president of the American Academy of
Periodontology. “By working with

Management of two implants
in the esthetic zone
By Saghi Parham, DDS

A medically and periodontally
stable 24-year-old woman presented
with two failing root canals on teeth
#8 and #9. Her dental records indicated both teeth were endodontically treated twice before. The first
root canals were performed when
she was 18 years old due to a trauma
incident and again six years later.
Two weeks prior to presenting at
our office, the patient stated she had
another accident causing trauma to
her two maxillary centrals. A new
series of radiographs revealed apical infections on both teeth (Fig.
1). Both teeth were deemed restoratively hopeless (Fig. 2).

Treatment plan
The patient was given the option to
have a removable partial denture,
fixed partial denture or implants.
The following treatment was performed:
• Extraction of teeth #8 and #9
and maxillary periodontal esthetic
osseous surgery.
• Temporization with a resinbonded fixed partial denture during
healing period.
• Placement of implants for #8
and #9.
• Six-month healing period.
• Placement of final implant crowns.
• Extraction and socket preservation.
The teeth were extracted followed by a thorough degranulation
and debridement of the extraction
sites. No dehiscence or fenestration
was detected, and no graft material
was placed in the extraction sites.
The space was then temporized with
a resin-bonded fixed partial denture
(Fig. 3).

Esthetic periodontal osseous
surgery

The primary goal for this procedure was to eliminate the “gummy
smile.” Osteoplasty was followed by
approximately 1 to 1.5 mm of ostectomy. The flap was repositioned apically (Figs. 4 and 5).

Implant placement
After osteotomy preparation, two
internal-hex implants with S.L.A.
(sand-blasted with large grit and
acid etching) surfaces were placed
(Fig. 6).
A 3.8 mm x 12 mm implant was
placed into site #8 and a 3.4 mm x 12
mm implant was placed into site #9
(Implantium S.L.A. implant by Dentium USA, Cypress, Calif.). Primary
stability was achieved, and healing
abutments were placed. The site
was re-temporized using the same

Final prosthetics
Final restoration of both #8 and
#9 implants was performed at six
months. The marginal height and
contours of both implants matched,
and a periapical radiograph revealed
sufficient bone height around the
fixtures (Figure 7).
The patient was happy with the
functional and esthetic results (Figure 8). IT

Clinical evaluation and laboratory
comparison of chairside CAD/CAM systems
Bluestone Center for Clinical Research at the
New York University College of Dentistry recently
released the results of several projects that evaluated the clinical efficacy and performance of the
E4D Dentist System (D4D Technologies) and
compared the fit and strength of restorations produced by the E4D Dentist System with those from
a competitive chairside CAD/CAM system.
In the clinical evaluation, the investigators
reported the E4D Dentist System was “… easy
to learn by both experienced and inexperienced
CAD/CAM users. Restorations were captured
(scanned), designed, milled, occlusion adjusted
and inserted in an average of less than 45 minutes. One hundred percent of all restorations created were found to be clinically acceptable by an
independent examiner…”
In a separate in-vitro investigation, full coverage restorations of similar design were fabricated
by the E4D Dentist System and a competitive system, seated onto composite dies using resin-based
cements and then sectioned for fit analysis. The
analysis showed that the E4D fabricated crowns
exhibited a reduced and more homogeneous fit at
all measured positions (buccal, lingual and center). The results demonstrated a mean marginal
fit of less than 20 microns, with an upper limit
of 30 microns for E4D restorations and a mean
marginal fit of 43 microns with an upper limit of
68 microns for the competitive system.

Vivadent) fabricated by the E4D Dentist System
and a competitive system were evaluated. Results
from the single load to failure provided a value
of 1175 N for the E4D fabricated restorations and
1087 N for the competitive system. In the fatigue
failure evaluation, no statistical difference was
noted between the two systems.
Dr. Gary Severance, D4D Technologies’ vice
president of clinical affairs, said: “Clinicians who
currently embrace chairside CAD/CAM dentistry
and those who may have been cautious in the past
due to misconceptions regarding the integrity and
ease of use of such systems will be encouraged
by these results. We are grateful to researchers
at NYU’s dental school for their contribution and
effort and for making their findings available to
the profession.”
It should be noted that different operators fabricated the samples from each system.

Zimmer Dental offers minimally
invasive sinus lift instrumentation
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 Sinus Crestal Approach Kit and Sinus Lateral
Approach Kit for minimally invasive
and streamlined sinus lift procedures.
Stemming from an exclusive U.S.
distribution agreement with Neobiotech Co., Ltd, the two kits are the
latest additions to Zimmer Dental’s
expanding sinus lift instrumentation
portfolio.
The Sinus Lateral Approach Kit
AD

Sinus Crestal
Approach Kit by

offers a complete solution for accessing the sinus via opening the lateral

wall. The result is minimal flap size
and a smaller window than conven-

tional techniques. The Sinus Lateral
Approach Kit’s reamers can be used
with a standard surgical motor handpiece (2,000 rpm) for an expedient
osteotomy.
The tapered trunk on the kit’s LSreamer is designed to control drilling depth up to 3.5 mm without the
use of drill stops, and the special
blade design creates a thin bone disc
that protects the Schneiderian membrane. In addition, the C-reamer can
be used to cut through the lateral
wall and save a piece of circular bone
that can be used to close the opening
after the procedure.
Like the Sinus Lateral Approach
Kit, Sinus Crestal Approach Kit offers
a minimally invasive option for sinus
lift procedures. The unique drill
design of the Sinus Crestal Approach
Kit’s S-reamer head (800-1200 rpm)
also leaves a thin bone disk between
the Schneiderian membrane and the
reamer for optimum protection, and
it can be used in misaligned and septum cases.
Furthermore, an assortment of
stoppers control the drilling depth of
the S-reamer from 2 mm to 11 mm,
and the stoppers can be mounted on
the bone spreader and inserter, thus
making the kit a complete solution
for performing a crestal sinus lift.
For decades, Zimmer Dental has
gained the trust of thousands of clinicians worldwide who count on its
comprehensive line of scientificallyproven products to deliver successful
patient outcomes and the best value
in the industry.

sinus lift kits, contact a Zimmer Dental sales consultant or customer service at (800) 854-7019, or visit www.

DentalPlanit makes dental professionals’ lives easier. It facilitates the
method of searching for and working
with any imaging provider, whether
large or small.
Everything flows together in one
seamless process — managing and
tracing patient cases takes no time
at all as vital information is at one’s
fingertips. Even an all-round treatment planning assistance service
called PlanAssist is part of the deal.
Clinicians can request full-fledged
treatment-planning assistance during live PlanAssist sessions. Or they
can choose to have a treatment-plan

money.
“Also on DentalPlanit, imaging
companies can advertise their services to dentists in a much larger
area than they could cover through
their own marketing channels,” said
Cassandra Gozin, product manager
at Materialise Dental.
Thanks to DentalPlanit, imaging
providers can offer their services
to dentists. These services include
the delivery of standard CT images
or files, which are ready to be used
in market-leading implant planning
software such as SimPlant®, Facilitate™ and ExpertEase™. DentalPlanit

Mixed cortical and cancellous
particles provide the combined
excellence of structural strength
and volume while also providing the
environment for the infiltration of
blood cells and the remodeling process that promotes bone growth.
In addition to the new mixed

mix.

Aseptico ELITE motor system
redefines value and performance
The ELITE all-in-one motor system from Aseptico (model AEU7000L-70V) is said to be ideal for a
number of dental specialties, including implant, endo, restoration and
oral surgery, resulting in a superior
return on investment.
Features include:
• A powerful, 40K rpm, autoclavable micromotor with LED illumination at any speed. Unlike conventional fiber optic bulbs, the integrated
LED provides tens of thousands of

operating hours.
• An advanced dynamometer calibration system that automatically
detects the properties of individual
implant or endo reduction handpieces
for highly accurate speed, torque, and
efficiency results at the time of treatment. This means that almost every
brand of new or existing reduction
handpiece from 16:1 – 32:1 (implant)
and 4:1 – 16:1 (endo) can be used.
• Torque control is adjustable up to
60 Ncm, ensuring compatibility with

every implant system in the market.
• Endo functionality that exceeds
any competing hybrid system (onboard file library, torque in g-cm,
auto-stop-reverse, etc.).
• Twelve programmable preset
buttons (six implant/six endo) are
available for saving preferred ratio,
speed, torque, irrigation, motor direction settings and even display names.
• Upgradable software ensures
longevity of the device.
The ELITE performs the complete

implant procedure using a 20:1 reduction contra angle, such as the new
AHP-85MBFO-CX Mont Blanc Fiber
Optic Handpiece with Depth Control. The micromotor is also compatible with most brands of lighted and
non-lighted handpieces (such as the
AHP-85MB-X or AHP-85MB-CX Mont
Blanc and the AHP-85P-I Impulsion).
The ELITE may also be used with
8:1 endo, 1:1 standard, 1:2 and 1:5
increaser handpieces for a multitude
of dental applications.
The ELITE will debut at the Chicago Midwinter (Feb. 24-26) and IDS
Cologne (Mar. 22 – 26).
