‘An impossible dream’
Elizabeth Scotland still has one of first osseointegrated
dental implants in New England, placed in 1983
Elizabeth Scotland with her late husband, Frank. In 1983, Scotland received five lower implants in one of the first Brånemark implants done in
New England. Photos/Provided by Dental Implants of Boston
S
HARON, MASS. — The idea that
a titanium dental implant could
integrate with her jaw bone and
give her back the teeth she had
lost to periodontal disease once seemed
an impossible dream to 87-year-old Elizabeth Scotland.
She had come to the United States with
her late husband, Frank, in 1957, seeking
opportunities in his chosen trade: tool
making. The Scotlands knew there was
demand for skilled toolmakers in the
Boston area, and he quickly found work
and then moved up the ladder at Gillette.
She suffered with a dental plate, almost
unable to eat many of the foods she liked.
“I knew there must be something better
than the dental plate I had, but to be honest, I thought I’d be gone by the time they
got something,” Mrs. Scotland said.
In the early 1980s, she started inquiring
and heard about the new osseointegrated
dental implant then available from a U.S.
training center established by Dr. Paul
Schnitman at Harvard University.
“I so wanted to have implants. I used to
read about them,” Mrs. Scotland said. She
went to see Dr. Schnitman, who was looking for a patient for his first Brånemark
osseointegrated dental implant (named
for its Swedish founder, Professor Per
Ingvar Brånemark).
“I was just back from the first North
American Brånemark training session
in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and looking
for patients. Mrs. Scotland was a perfect
first patient,” Dr. Schnitman remembers.
He still sees Mrs. Scotland in his private
practice in Wellesley Hills, Mass.
In 1983, he replaced her lower dental
plate with five lower implants. When the
implants healed and the bone fused with
them, porcelain crowns were added, and
she still has them today. She received one
of the first Brånemark implants done in
New England.
“It was heaven. I could eat anything
with no problem,” Mrs. Scotland says.
“She was the perfect patient,” Dr.
Schnitman remembers.
Shortly after receiving the implants,
her husband was transferred to India to
” See SCOTLAND, page C2
Dr. Paul Schnitman placed Elizabeth
Scotland’s implants in 1983. It was his first
time placing implants, and the implants
remain in place today.
AAIP hosts
implant
seminars
in Jamaica
The American Academy of Implant
Prosthodontics (AAIP) joined with
its affiliates, Atlantic Dental Implant
Seminars (ADIS) and the Linkow Implant Institute, to present a four-day
comprehensive implant training
course in Kingston, Jamaica, at the
University of Technology, School of
Oral Health Sciences, from April 23–
26, for 18 dentists from Kazakhstan.
The course included lectures, surgical and prosthodontic demonstrations, hands-on participation on
anatomic manikins and cadavers,
diagnosis and treatment planning
of implant cases, the construction of
surgical templates, diagnostic waxups, the insertion of two to six implants by each participant and sinus
lifts under supervision of the course
faculty.
The 18 participating dentists inserted 67 implants (six immediate
placements), performed eight sinus
lifts, uncovered 15 implants placed
by participants of previous courses,
completed seven guided bone regeneration procedures, inserted four
immediate-function overdentures
and made multiple impressions of
various implant situations with a
variety of impression materials and
techniques.
Patients were provided by the Ministry of Health and the University of
Technology, School of Dental Sciences, of Jamaica.
Upon completion of the 35-hour
comprehensive implant training program, participating clinicians were
able to accomplish the following
tasks: identify cases suitable for dental implants; diagnose and treatment
plan for preservation and restoration
of edentulous and partially edentulous arches; demonstrate competency in the placement of single tooth
implants, soft-tissue management
and bone augmentation; obtain an
ideal implant occlusion; work as part
of an implant team with other professionals; and incorporate implant
treatment into private practice with
quality results, cost effectiveness and
profitability.
Patient treatment was provided
in the dental clinic of the University
of Technology, School of Oral Health
Sciences, Kingston, Jamaica, with per” See AAIP, page C3

manage a Gillette factory there. “Now I
could go anywhere with confidence,” she
said.
Though implants can be more costly
than some dental therapies, Mrs. Scotland does not regret the cost. “I’m just
very grateful to have them done. I always
try to buy the best, even when buying a
small thing for the kitchen. Buy the best,”
she said.
‘She was the perfect
patient.’

Meeting, received rave reviews by dental
professionals using the system for the
first time, the company said.
Gary Kaye, DDS, FAGD, founder and
principal dentist of New York City-based
Kaye Dentistry, recently hosted a handson demonstration of NEVO for leading
dental professionals.
“The technology that E4D has developed, particularly the scanner, is just incredible,” Dr. Kaye said. “Scanning inside
the mouth with most systems is very difficult to do. With NEVO, one of my associates used the new wand and, after just
a few minutes, was immediately getting
outstanding and accurate results.”
That new associate, Sarah Jafari-Namin,
DMD, MS, who specializes in prosthodontics, offered up her assessment.
“The system was very easy to use,” Dr.
Jafari-Namin said. “The handpiece is
much lighter than before, which made
it easier for the patient and me, and the
speed of the NEVO E4D system is outstanding.”
“The early reviews of E4D NEVO are terrific, and we at Henry Schein Dental are
very proud to be exclusively offering this
new solution to our customers,” said Tim
Sullivan, president, Henry Schein North
America Dental Group. “The introduction
of E4D NEVO requires the support of a
knowledgeable team working together to
ensure that dental teams across the United States see and understand the product’s considerable benefits to patients.
We look forward to bringing E4D NEVO
into our customers’ practices.”
Among the other professionals who
participated in the sneak preview were:
Dr. Bryan Couch, DDS, from Complete
Smiles Dentistry, Texas; Dr. Curtis Jansen,
DDS, from CEJ Dentistry, California; Dr.
Alex Schaap, DDS, from Kaye Dentistry, New York; and Dr. Edmond Suh, DDS,
from Supremia Dentistry, North Carolina.

Dentistry, demonstrates the E4D
NEVO Scanner and Design Center.
“How can dentists treat their patients
better? Well, this is one CAD/CAM technology that they should be looking at,”
Dr. Couch said.
The new NEVO system is “very fast, very
forgiving, and the erase feature is over
the top,” Dr. Jansen said.
“As the technology advances, I think it’s
a winner,” Dr. Schaap said.
“For years, the industry has been on the
precipice of fully embracing digital chairside dentistry,” Dr. Suh said. “NEVO should
give those who have been tentative the
ability and confidence to now jump.”
“We are very pleased to hear positive reviews from experienced, highly regarded
dental professionals who recognize the
critical importance of CAD/CAM technology for both the practitioner and patient,”
said Gary Severance, DDS, chief marketing
officer, D4D Technologies. “With NEVO,
practitioners can be confident that they
are providing the highest quality patient
care with exceptional patient comfort. We
are delighted to hear our first NEVO users
confirming these qualities.”

About E4D NEVO Scanner and
Design Center
The NEVO Scanner technology is based
upon years of experience with powderfree image capture in the intraoral environment and is the first scanner to use
E4D’s patent-pending blue laser technology, which provides exceptional quality
of data capture, video-rate speed and ease
of use, according to the company.
The NEVO Scanner employs blue laser
technology that features an improved
ability to capture the fine details that allow for more precise and accurate prosthetics, the company said.
The solid-state NEVO Scanner incorporates many other advances to ensure an
exceptional intraoral scanning experience. These include fog-free scanning, ergonomic design for easy positioning, removable tips for infection control, active
heat dissipation for full-arch scanning,
color-coded feedback to operator and adjustable field of view.
The new E4D NEVO Design Center is a
laptop computer that uses high-speed
Thunderbolt™ technology* with the
NEVO Scanner to provide more energy
and double the bandwidth of USB 3 connections, resulting in fast processing and
alignment of scans. Plug-and-play convenience gives dental offices the flexibility
to customize their E4D NEVO configuration, thereby enhancing the restorative
workflow across the entire practice.
