Event takes place in Switzerland every five years,
results to be presented at ITI’s annual meeting
T
he International Team for Implantology is holding its annual
conference 2013 entitled “Treatment Guidelines and Recommendations of the 5th ITI Consensus Conference” in Bern, Switzerland on April 27.
The event will directly follow the fifth ITI
Consensus Conference held in Bern from
April 23–25.
With the rapid advances in clinical
techniques and biomaterials in the
field as well as new ideas and different
approaches, it is vital for clinicians to be
able to access up-to-date information
and clinical recommendations. The ITI
Consensus Conference offers a scientific
evaluation of the latest developments
in the field and establishes a series of
consensus statements.
Every five years, more than 100 leading clinicians and academicians from all
over the world gather for three days of
debate during which clinically relevant

annual
meeting
in Tampa
The Academy of Osseointegration hosted 3,070 total attendees at
its 28th annual meeting, including
525 international dentists attending
from 44 countries.
The emphasis in the scientific program was on achieving quality and
leveraging the advantage conferred
by the interdisciplinary team approach.
The annual meeting program focused on the future with the theme,
“Moving Forward: Evidence, Experience, Excellence.”
Leading off the program was researcher/clinician Lyndon F. Cooper, DDS, PhD, Chapel Hill, N.C., on
the topic, “Translating Evidence
Into Treatment Predictability: What
Evidence Do We Have? What Do We
Need?” Cooper’s presentation examined the current status of dental
implant therapy. His current clinical
interests focus on the development
of cell based tissue engineering for
clinical bone formation and the immediate loading of dental implants.
The program was created by the
2013 Annual Meeting Committee,
chaired by Dr. Dean Morton, Louisville, Ky.
Next year’s event will take place in
Seattle from March 6–8.
AD
issues in implant dentistry are reviewed
in detail. The resulting statements and
guidelines represent a golden standard
for the field of implant dentistry and
form the basis for the ITI’s Treatment
Guide series of publications.
In Bern, five working groups led by
Michael Bornstein, Daniel Wismeijer,
Dean Morton, German Gallucci and Lisa
Heitz-Mayfield will discuss topics in the
following areas:
1) Contemporary surgical and radiographic techniques
2) Restorative materials and techniques for implant dentistry
3) Optimizing esthetic outcomes in
implant dentistry
4) Loading protocols in implant dentistry
5) Prevention and management of
technical and biological complications.

Imaging Sciences International is
pleased to announce a new addition to
the award-winning i-CAT® family of
cone-beam 3-D imaging — the i-CAT FLX
— an innovative 3-D imaging solution
that can help clinicians to quickly diagnose complex problems with less radiation* and develop treatment plans more
easily and accurately. This newest system
to the i-CAT brand offers 3-D planning
and treatment tools for implants and restorations, oral and maxillofacial surgery,
orthodontics, plus TMD and airway disorders.
i-CAT FLX has a range of innovative features that deliver greater clarity, ease-ofuse and control.
• Visual iQuity™ image technology
provides i-CAT’s clearest 3-D and 2-D images*.
• QuickScan+ allows for a full-dentition
3-D scan at a lower dose than a panoramic image*.
• SmartScan STUDIO’s touchscreen
interface and integrated acquisition
system yields more control and workflow flexibility by allowing the clinician
to easily select the appropriate scan for
each patient at the lowest acceptable radiation dose.
• Ergonomic Stability System (ESS) offers seated positioning, robust head stability, and adjustable seating controls to
minimize patient movement, thus reducing the need for retakes. ESS also provides wheelchair accessibility.
• i-Collimator electronically adjusts
the field-of-view to limit radiation only
to the area of scanning interest.
• i-CAT FLX’s small footprint fits easily
into any practice.
• i-PAN for traditional 2-D panoramic
images
Of course, as with all i-CAT products,
the Tx STUDIO™ optimized treatment
planning software provides immediate
access to integrated treatment tools for
implant planning, surgical guides, and
other applications.
“We are thrilled to debut the i-CAT FLX
— a complete 3-D treatment solution,”
said Kalpana Singh, senior product manager for Imaging Sciences International.
“Given its high level of control over radiation dose and easy workflow, we know
that the i-CAT FLX can benefit dental
team members and patients they treat.”
In 2012, Imaging Sciences International
celebrated two decades of dedication to
dental imaging, developing and manufacturing advanced dental and maxillofacial radiography products including
the i-CAT Next Generation™ and i-CAT
Precise™ and their exclusive software applications. The i-CAT brand has become
among the most trusted 3-D radiographic systems in the dental industry. Now, iCAT FLX continues this legacy.

Three innovations. All diameters.
Award-winning technologies.

Straumann — a global leader in implant dentistry offering surgical, regeneration, restorative and digital solutions
for the dental and lab business — is a pioneer of innovative technologies. We have
won the confidence of our customers
with this promise: a strong foundation
of scientific and clinical evidence supporting the specialization, reliability and
simplicity that define every Straumann
solution.
As a pioneer of innovation, Straumann introduces a new implant line —
Roxolid® for All.
Roxolid — the first titanium zirconium
alloy designed specifically for implant
dentistry — launched in 2009, has been
implemented in practices all around the
country. Initially designed to offer more
confidence when placing small-diameter
implants and to help increase patient acceptance of implant treatment, the Roxolid Ø3.3 implants were just the beginning.
This month, Roxolid for All expands to
all diameters the advanced combination
of the Roxolid material, the SLActive®
surface technology and the new Loxim™
transfer piece for simplified implant
handling. Loxim is a pre-mounted, selfretained transfer piece that offers clockwise and counter-clockwise rotations for
one-step implant insertion. With Loxim,
the holding key is no longer required to
remove the transfer piece, helping to
make implant placement more efficient.
The Roxolid material and the SLActive
surface technology each received the
Frost & Sullivan Medical Device Technology of the Year Award. This award, which
recognizes excellence in technological
innovation, is one of the Best Practices
Awards bestowed by Frost & Sullivan,
the global growth consulting company.
In 2005, the SLActive surface technology was noted as a “next generation dental implant surface technology” and in
2009, the Roxolid material was noted as
an “innovative high performance material for dental implants.”
Now Straumann includes these two
award-winning technologies along with
simplified handling with the introduction of Roxolid for All.
What does this mean for you? Roxolid
for All with the Loxim transfer piece is
designed to provide you with confidence
in all cases, the flexibility of more treatment options, help increasing patient
acceptance of implant treatment, improved osseointegration properties1 and
efficient implant placement through
simplified handling. Three innovations.
All diameters. Award-winning technologies.
Today, life expectancy is longer. The
scientific advancements in modern medicine along with an individual focus on
good health and well-being all contribute to the potential of our life spans. It is
important to place an implant you and
your patients can trust — and depend
on to last. Straumann invites you to try
Roxolid for All.
For more information, contact your local Straumann territory manager or call
customer service at (800) 448-8168 or
visit www.straumann.us.
