Debating in D.C.
AAID Annual
Meeting to focus
on various implant
treatment options
Washington, D.C., is the site for the
annual scientific meeting of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry,
from Oct. 3–6. This year, as befits a venue in the nation’s capital just a month
before the presidential election, the
main podium programs will include
separate debates on 10 different topics
in implant dentistry.
“We’re doing the meeting a little
different from the past by moving
away from the traditional lecture” See AAID, page B2

Biomaterial stimulates healing
following dental implants
By Dental Tribune International
Researchers have found that blood
platelet biomaterial significantly improves the healing process after placement of dental implants. In a case study,
they observed beneficial short- and longterm results after the replacement of a
fractured central incisor.
According to the authors of the recently published paper, restoration of the
maxillary anterior segment following
traumatic injuries is very complex.
Even when all steps toward a favorable
result have been successful, healing of
the tissue can still be an unpredictable
aspect, they said.
In the article, they present a new approach to improving the outcome of anterior implants by using blood platelet
concentrates.
The paper reports on a case study of
a 45-year-old female patient who had
fractured an incisor in a sport-related
accident. In an Italian private practice,
the broken tooth was extracted and an
implant inserted. In addition, a biomaterial of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin
(L-PRF) was used.
The scientists observed positive heal-

after-lecture format in our main podium
sessions,” said AAID President James L.
Bush, DDS. “It should be one of the liveliest
and most provocative AAID meetings ever
as our speakers will be debating alternative treatment options through their presentations.”
Leading experts will have 30 minutes
to present their arguments, followed by a
moderated interchange of responses. Session attendees will then be able to vote
their preferences electronically following
each session.
The debate topics are:
• Implant dimensions: long vs. short
• Esthetics: ceramics vs. gingiva
• Treatment planning: bioengineering
vs. design engineering
• Treatment options: comprehensive vs.
conformative
• Grafting: plain and simple vs. bells and
whistles
• Guided surgery vs. free-hand skilled
surgeries
• Implant soft-tissue esthetics: biometrics vs. biomimetics
• Block grafts: autogenous vs. allogenic
• Vertical augmentation: vascularized
osteotomies vs. GBR
• Prosthetics: glass ceramics vs. metal ceramics
In addition to the debates, the AAID
meeting program includes live implant
surgeries, according to Scientific Program
Chair Shankar Iyer, DMD, as well as a global
symposium featuring expert speakers
from the United Kingdom, Spain, Japan,
South Korea and other countries.
“Dentists who attend the AAID meeting
will leave with new ideas they can implement in their practices right away,” Iyer said.
Meeting Chairman John Minichetti,
DMD, added that a research symposium at
the meeting will cover the latest scientific
discoveries related to implant dentistry,
and a staff program will offer a wide range
of topics, including medical insurance
coding for implant procedures, hands-on
training in implant components, impressions and temporaries and legal issues.
“Our staff members will enjoy the opportunity to learn more about the clinical
and administrative issues they deal with
every day, and they’ll also gain valuable experience from viewing the live surgeries.”

ing of the tissue two days after surgery.
They found that the material acts as a
bio-membrane that protects the implant
from the oral environment. It appears
to stimulate the growth of cells and to
accelerate gingival healing and maturation.
After seven days, they found that the
gingival esthetic profile was well defined.
At six months, they reported a satisfactory final result that was still stable and
esthetic after two years.
According to the researchers, L-PRF is
simple, inexpensive and easy to prepare
in only 15 minutes. Thus, it suits the practical needs of daily implant dentistry, in
particular. Moreover, it is free of additives, such as anticoagulant, a substance
that prevents the clotting of blood, or
chemicals for activation, they said.
The project was conducted by researchers at the University of Geneva’s School
of Dental Medicine, the State University
of New York at Buffalo’s Department of
Restorative Dentistry and the Chonnam
National University’s School of Dentistry
in Gwangju, South Korea, in collaboration with two practitioners in Italy and
Israel.
The study was published in the April

Astra Tech presents new OsseoSpeed data from the
global clinical research program at World Congress
During the Astra Tech World Congress,
held in Gothenburg, Sweden, May 9-12,
Astra Tech presented new data from its
global clinical research program, confirming yet again the benefits of the Astra
Tech Implant System™.
“We are very proud to present continuous positive data from our global clinical
research program at the Astra Tech World
Congress. For us, it is of utmost importance that clinicians feel confident when
using our implant system to care for their
patients. Ninety percent of all dental implant systems available today have no
clinical documentation,” said AnnaKarin
Lundgren, head of global scientific management.

Tech Dental
In a prospective multicenter study by R.
Nölken, et al3, 65 patients with a need of
single tooth replacements were included.
The aim of the study was to clinically
and radiographically evaluate the position of lingual, buccal and interproximal
marginal bone support after placing and
restoring a single OsseoSpeed Profile implant in sloped healed ridges.
After one year, the results revealed
small marginal bone level alterations
indicating that the OsseoSpeed Profile
implant is a predictable treatment option where the alveolar crest anatomy is
sloped in a lingual to buccal direction.
Five-year clinical evidence for early
loading of OsseoSpeed implants
Astra Tech products supported
by more than 600 publications
In a recently published prospective
study by H. Schliephake et al1, the fiveyear clinical outcome from 44 patients
treated with 123 implants placed in the
posterior mandible and early loaded was
presented. The study focused on clinical
efficacy; hence, survival rate, implant
stability and marginal bone level change
were evaluated. All implants survived the
whole study period, giving a 100 percent
implant survival rate. Implant stability,
by means of ISQ values, increased during
the first year and the marginal bone level
change was minimal, ending in a total
mean change from implant placement to
five-year of -0.08 mm.
The authors concluded that implants
with the fluoride-modified OsseoSpeed
surface provide auspicious results for the
early loading protocol in the posterior
mandible.
Astra Tech Dental has reached an important milestone: the product portfolio is now supported by more than
600 articles, published in renowned,
peer-reviewed, scientific journals.
The articles are written by scientists
and clinicians from all over the world
and have been scrutinized by independent editorial review board members before being accepted for publication. With
this clinical evidence, clinicians can expect predictable and excellent treatment
outcomes when using Astra Tech Implant
System.

Evaluation of OsseoSpeed 3 mm
narrow implant
A prospective multicenter study by P.
King et al2, included 69 patients, together
treated with a total of 97 implants. The OsseoSpeed narrow implants were replacing a single tooth in the anterior region,
and the study was designed to evaluate
clinical performance using one stage surgery with an early loading protocol. Twoyear follow up indicates that treatment
with OsseoSpeed TX 3.0 implants is a safe
and predictable treatment option in the
anterior region when interdental space
is limited. Soft tissue and marginal bone
levels were well-preserved.

gIDE to host 4-day implant hands-on workshop
From July 24–27, Global Institute for
Dental Education (gIDE) will host its quarterly four-day Advanced Implant Therapy
certificate course and implant hands-on
workshop in Los Angeles. Participants
will learn the latest implant techniques
for successful soft-tissue management,
extraction site grafting, ridge preparation
and regeneration for implant placement.
Esthetic implant procedures and sinus
grafting are also taught, all through the
use of didactic, comprehensive and clear
clinical protocols. This implant course offers a hands-on workshop and live-patient
surgery that can be taken separately or
together as a comprehensive update program.
gIDE’s workshop is an essential shortterm implant program to get participants
to the next level in implant surgery and to
improve confidence in hard- and soft-tissue grafting, as well as the management
of complications.
Founded in 2003 in Los Angeles, gIDE
is now equipped with a high-tech, modern training center fully integrated with
an advanced surgical suite and complete
with audio/video capabilities. Previously
limited to 16 participants, the remodeled
institute now accommodates up to 25 professionals with a large-screen viewing of
up-close surgery.
gIDE moved its global headquarters in
June 2006 to a 4000-square-foot recording studio, formerly home of the famous
California band “The Beach Boys.” It has
now been transformed into a modern
facility with studios for live broadcast
events held worldwide, production of
clinical videos and onsite training center for hands-on courses and live surgical
demonstrations.
gIDE’s vision of the innovative training
center is for the clinician to experience
learning via theory, hands-on and live
surgery with inspiration of the high-tech
surgical suite to instill a desire to realize
achievable goals.
Registrants receive one clinical video
DVD per course day as review material.
For more information regarding gIDE’s
hands-on training and workshops, please

Hands-on workshops are available at gIDE’s new modern training center in Los Angeles.

The world’s first Android-based
control screen in dental laser industry
PerioLase MVP-7 for the LANAP protocol brings together
advanced science and developing technology
Millennium Dental Technologies announces the first laser in the dental industry to incorporate an Android™-based
digital display and control system. The
PerioLase® MVP-7™ for the LANAP®
protocol combines its advanced laser
components with the latest LCD display
technology for the optimum operating
experience.
The enhanced display integrates the absolute latest developments in the tablet
industry into the PerioLase MVP-7 digital
dental laser and also provides a consistent
platform to continually take advantage of
the explosive growth and development in
the electronics industry.
Millennium Dental Technologies is
breaking the paradigm of the planned obsolescence built into the manufacturing
of capital equipment within the dental industry. By integrating the open-platform
Android operating system, the PerioLase
MVP-7 will enable new display device integration and upgrades without the pur-
chase of a new laser.
“Currently, in the industry, a device upgrade means a completely new laser at
high cost. Millennium’s constant practice
of ‘Kaizen’ has allowed us to break through
this paradigm and provide true device upgradability,” said Robert H. Gregg II, DDS,
president and co-founder of Millennium
Dental Technologies.
The new streamlined user interface increases usable display space to allow the
practitioner to focus on the clinical procedure, with intuitive operating controls
and engaging graphics. The 360-degree
mounting system increases clinician
comfort during the procedure, with a
wide-range viewing angle and increased
flexibility of laser placement in the operatory.
“Operating system upgrades can be
done in the field through encrypted hardware authentication, with less downtime
to the clinician,” said Patrick McCormick,
CFO of Millennium Dental Technology.
“This enables clinicians to maintain patient treatment schedules and efficiency,
while giving them the power to stay
abreast of the exploding high-resolution,
flat screen display technology.”
Chief Technical Officer Delwin McCarthy, DDS, explains: “The transformation to the Android-based platform is
fully backward compatible. All existing
PerioLase MPV-7 laser devices can be
merged with the advanced display and
control, an important benefit to our
LANAP-trained clinicians.”
Millennium Dental Technologies is
exploring forward-compatible upgrades
including evolution to Electronic Medical
Records (EMR), the Obama initiative for integration of electronic dental records and
systems, and seamless communication
with case management software.
The display upgrade is included at no additional cost for all orders that take delivery for the next 90 days.
The PerioLase MVP-7, a free-running
pulsed Nd:YAG
laser, was developed specifically
to support the
LANAP protocol
and,
through
product relevancy and a dedicated management
team, is the
longest-lasting
laser system still The new PerioLase.

associated with traditional gum surgery.

Sirona introduces inLab Software 4.0
New inLab Software
4.0 delivers improved
performance to entire
restorative process
Sirona Dental Systems, a company that
pioneered digital dentistry more than 27
years ago and one of the world’s leading
producers of dental CAD/CAM systems,
has launched a major software upgrade
that effortlessly handles everything from
single-unit crowns to complete smile
makeovers with the touch of a button.
According to Norbert Ulmer, director of
Laboratory CAD/CAM for Sirona: “The new
inLab® Software 4.0 is the most significant
and sophisticated inLab software release.
It propels the inLab system to new heights
with outstanding new features designed
for faster and easier navigation through
design steps and work direct-on-tooth
tools. This is a major redesign of the inLab
software platform.”
Matt Roberts, CDT with CMR Dental
Lab, says: “inLab Software 4.0 is a gamechanger for digital dentistry. It’s now even
easier to artistically modify the design
to fit the specific esthetic and functional
needs associated with each case!”
Among the many enhancements made
possible with inLab Software 4.0 are the
following:
The Alta MLS. Photo/Provided by Dental
Photonics
New laser
system
from Alta
The Alta™ MLS introduces a laser
system with no obsolescence. After
you purchase the base console, you
can add the modular units at your
discretion.
It features the world premiere of
Thermo-Optically Powered (TOP™)
Surgery, the radically new Automatic Power Control (APC™) Mode
with AutoStop™ and SureStep™ tip
initiation. With TOP Surgery, you
cut like a CO2 laser but with greater
control, tactile feedback and minimal collateral thermal damage. APC
provides user-defined constant operating temperature at the surgical
tip.
Call (781) 754-7900 or visit www.
altamls.com for more information.
• Intuitive graphical interface: The inLab
software guides you confidently through
the design process. See exactly what step
you’re working on, what’s next and what
you’ve already accomplished. Readily
“jump” from one design step to the next
— or even go back a step or two — without
having to “undo” the work you’ve already
done.
• Multiple restoration design: Work on
as many different restorations and indications as you want and at the same time
— including in multiple quadrants and
opposing arches, from single units to fullmouth cases.
• Design tools for total control: Design
tools can now be executed directly on the
tooth when performing functions such as
adding or removing material, rotating or
positioning the restoration, or expanding
or reducing tooth size. Grab and move the
tooth, and use your digital porcelain brush
to design your crown. This provides greater
control and a more natural, hands-on feel
to the computer design process.
• Widest range of indications: Your software capabilities are as endless as this
list, such as anatomically shaped copings
and bridges, to full-contour crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers, digital temporaries,
multilayer/split-file designs, Maryland
bridges, customized abutments, modelbuilding software, bars, attachments,
stressbreakers, stack milling, digital cutbacks, diagnostic wax-ups and wax patterns, and there is always another soft-
ware update just around the corner.
The increased productivity and efficiency delivered by inLab Software 4.0 is
a bottom-line booster, as well. Chad Rogers
has been an inLab user for nearly a decade,
and was also among the first to use inLab
Software 4.0.
“For me, Sirona has made dental CAD/
CAM more predictable and profitable than
ever,” he said. “With the introduction of the
new inLab Software 4.0 coupled with the
inEos® Blue and the inLab MC XL, my laboratory is quickly changing and becoming a
profitable machine.”
For more information about inLab Software 4.0, contact your Sirona representative,
call (855) INLAB4U or visit www.inLab.com.
