presents one side of the story, AAID’s 61st
Annual Meeting from Oct. 3–6 in Washington, D.C., will include 10 programs
during which two world-class experts
will debate their preferred option in implant dentistry. The audience will be able
to pose questions and cast its vote for the
ones it thinks are most convincing.
Imagine being able to witness Carl
Misch and his biomechanic approach
challenging Palo Malo with his “all-onfour” concept. Hear Michael Pikos advocate for longer implants, while Marco
Esposito offers his evidence-based rationale for short implants. Have you wondered if BMPs will become mainstream?
Edgard El Chaar and Alfred “Duke” Heller
will present the debate “Grafting — Plain
and Simple vs. Bells and Whistles.”

Clinical benefits of the Inclusive
Tooth Replacement Solution
By Darrin W. Wiederhold, DMD, MS, and
Bradley C. Bockhorst, DMD
A hallmark of the most successful
modern clinicians is the ability to strike
a balance between a daily load of 12 to
16 patients and maintain the same high
standard of care. This is no easy task
when it comes to implant cases.
Currently the manufacturer is responsible for the components and the laboratory for the restoration — after receiving
the impressions.
Restoratively, that’s like erecting a
house on an existing foundation, limiting the builder. Proper esthetics requires
soft tissue contouring that begins at implant placement, making stock components less than ideal.
With the new Inclusive® Tooth Replacement Solution from Glidewell Laboratories, custom-designed temporary
components allow for immediate provisionalization specific to each patient,
and a matching custom impression coping communicates the final gingival architecture to the laboratory.
Add the implant, surgical drills, prosthetic guide, final custom abutment and
final BruxZir® Solid Zirconia restoration
(Glidewell), and the clinician receives all
the components necessary to place, provisionalize and restore the implant.
The Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution supports a streamlined workflow
that ensures predictability and longterm success. Armed with the end game
in mind and the tools and road map to
get there, experienced and novice clinicians alike can place and restore dental
implants with greater confidence than
ever before.
Implant treatment workflow
• Consultation and data collection
• Day of surgery protocol
• Healing phase
• Restorative phase: final impressions
• Delivery of final prosthesis
Consultation and data collection
For single-tooth replacement or fullmouth rehabilitation, comprehensive
treatment planning is paramount. You’ll
need:
• Full-arch upper/lower impressions
(PVS)
• Bite registration
• Full-mouth radiographs (panoramic
and CBCT scan, as needed). NOTE: If you
do not have a CBCT scanner, refer patient
to an imaging center.
• Shade match of existing dentition
• Preoperative photos
Once you’ve selected a diameter and
length of implant, forward the diagnostic materials (impressions, models,
bite registration, shade, implant size) to
Glidewell for fabrication of the custom
components. The laboratory will pour
and articulate the models and assemble

the components, delivered to you in an
all-inclusive box (Fig. 1), including:
• Prosthetic guide (Fig. 2a)
• Custom temporary abutment (Fig. 2a)
• BioTemps® provisional crown (Glidewell) (Fig. 2a)
• Custom healing abutment (Fig. 2a)
• Custom impression coping (Fig. 2a)
• Surgical drills (Fig. 2a)
• Inclusive Tapered Implant (Glidewell)
(Fig. 2a)
Day of surgery protocol
Place the box contents alongside your
usual surgical armamentarium. Confirm that the prosthetic guide fits snugly
around the teeth. Visually confirm that
the proposed location of the implant osteotomy correlates with your planned
location.
After placing the implant, decide based
on the level of primary stability whether
to place the custom healing abutment or
the custom temporary abutment and accompanying BioTemps crown. Either option will begin sculpting the soft-tissue
architecture around the implant to develop the future emergence profile.
If there is adequate attached tissue,
use a tissue punch to remove the soft tissue over the osteotomy site; otherwise,
reflect a flap.
Note that the margin of the custom
temporary abutment is set at approximately 2 mm.
Depending on the thickness of the soft
tissue, the abutment can be adjusted and
BioTemps crown relined. The custom
healing abutment or BioTemps crown
must be 1 mm to 1.5 mm out of occlusion
to avoid occlusal stress.
Store custom impression coping with
patient chart for the restorative phase.
Healing phase
Schedule monthly follow-up appointments to ensure osseointegration is progressing and to adjust the provisional
restoration.
Restorative phase: final impressions
Upon successful osseointegration, the
restorative phase begins. Contours of the
custom impression coping match those
of the custom healing abutment or custom temporary abutment, so it’s simple
to remove the custom abutment, seat the
impression coping and take an accurate
full-arch final impression using a closedtray or open-tray.
Complete a simple prescription form
included with the original box, select
your final custom abutment and final
shade for your BruxZir or IPS e.max®
(Ivoclar Vivadent; Amherst, N.Y.) restoration and simply forward these items to
Glidewell. There are no additional laboratory fees.
Delivery of final prosthesis
On the day of delivery, remove the custom temporary abutment and clean all
debris from inside and around the implant. Try in the final Inclusive Custom
Abutment (Glidewell) and BruxZir or
IPS e.max crown (Fig. 3). Check the contours, contacts and occlusion and adjust
as needed.
The final occlusion should be light on
the implant-retained crown, with forces
directed along the long axis to minimize lateral forces. The abutment screw
is tightened to 35 Ncm, head of the abutment screw covered, and crown cemented. All excess cement must be removed.
Instruct your patient about home care,
and set a recall schedule.

MIS Implants Technologies has recently
launched the new C1 implant system. This
new C1 system brings a combination of
proven and innovative design features to
market, including a conical connection
and abutments that utilize a platformswitching concept.
The 6-degree conical connection ensures
a secure fit between the abutment and implant. By minimizing micro-movement at
that junction bone loss at the crestal level
is reduced. There is a six-position cone index within the conical connection to help
orient the implant during insertion as well
as placing the abutment into the proper
position.
Implants, abutments and tools are colorcoded according to platform size for easy
identification. The standard platform refers to the 3.75 and 4.2 mm diameter implants, while the 5 mm diameter implant
is the wide platform. Lengths for all of the
diameters come in 8, 10, 11.5, 13 and 16 mm.
The C1 implant (as all of the MIS implants) is made from a titanium alloy that
contains titanium, aluminum and vanadium known as Ti-6A1-4V-ELI (Grade 23). This
alloy has excellent fatigue strength and is
highly biocompatible. Similar to commercially pure titanium implants (Grades 1-4),
the outer surface of these implants consists of a thin layer of pure titanium oxide
(TiO2).
The unique geometry of the C1 implant
encourages primary stability with mild
bone compression at the upper 2/3 of the
implant. The final drill, used during preparation of the osteotomy, is designed to drill
in such a way to allow less compression by
the threads at the apical third of the implant, which will enable rapid bone growth
in that area. These two characteristics have
been put in place to minimize the period
of time between initial mechanical stability and long-term biologic stability.
Platform switching is a restorative concept that has been shown to minimize
crestal bone loss. It has been theorized
that moving the junction of the implant/
abutment connection away from the outer
edge of the implant platform reduces the
bacterial component that could lead to loss
of vertical height. For those clinicians who
prefer to utilize platform switching in the
restorative phase, the C1 abutments have
been designed to allow this.
As with other MIS Implant products, the
surface treatment consists of both large
particle blasting and acid etching. This not
only creates micro- and nano-surface morphology, but also ensures a high-quality,
contaminant-free surface that has been
shown to achieve superb osseointegration results. The apex of the C1 implants
is dome-shaped to help prevent damage
to the mandibular nerve, as well as avoiding perforation of the sinus membrane.
Packaged with each C1 implant is a sterile,
single-use final drill, a cover screw and a
temporary PEEK abutment. Each implant
(including these additional components) is
sold for $249.
MIS Technologies is headquartered in
Fair Lawn, N.J. To contact the local representative in your area or to receive
more information about the C1 or other
MIS products, call (866) 733-1333. Additional information is also available at

New ZONEfree temporary dental cement
uses reflective color blending nanofillers
ZONEfree
is a new
temporary
dental
cement.

DUX Dental introduces
first translucent zinc
oxide non-eugenol
cosmetic dental cement
DUX Dental recently introduced a new
temporary dental cement that contains
prismatic color blending nanofillers that
act like tiny beads of glass to reflect the
color of any adjacent surface. The new
product, called ZONEfree, is the only
zinc oxide non-eugenol cosmetic cement that is translucent. Its unique formulation combines the esthetic benefits
of reflective nanofillers and translucency, creating a natural look that blends
with the color of the patient’s own teeth,
crowns or other surfaces. ZONEfree is
now available for order through major
dental dealers.
“The desire for a superior esthetic result now overshadows the simple need
to replace a broken tooth. Television,
print media and the successful esthetic
results seen among friends and co-work-
ers have raised the public’s expectation
about what it will get from their healthcare provider,” said Michael Durda, vice
president of clinical affairs of DUX Dental in Oxnard, Calif. “Because ZONEfree
combines both reflective and translucent proprieties in one formula, the dental team can easily achieve a beautiful,
natural-looking result.”
ZONEfree has the reliable hallmarks of
a zinc oxide non-eugenol cement in that
it is easy to apply, easy to clean up and
remove and provides excellent retention
strength. When ZONEfree is dispensed
and applied, the cement has a pearly
white appearance, giving it enough color
to allow the dentist or assistant to place
it precisely and see excess cement during clean up and removal.
Yet, when ZONEfree is spread thin, the
cement blends with the adjacent surfaces, creating a “chameleon effect” that
results in a natural esthetic look. As the
only translucent zinc oxide non-eugenol
temporary cement, dentists can use
ZONEfree without worrying about resin
on resin build up and other issues common to resin-based temporary cements,
the company says.
“From my perspective, the most important feature of ZONEfree is the reflective nanofillers that get an excellent
result with temporaries. That to me is
very unique about ZONEfree,” said Dr.
Gary Radz, DDS, of Cosmetic Dentistry of
Colorado. “In our office, we are focused
on patient satisfaction and providing
beautiful esthetic dentistry. I can be confident that we achieve both when using
ZONEfree.”
Other benefits and specifications of
ZONEfree temporary cement include:
• It is Triclosan-free. Triclosan is currently under review by the FDA for safety concerns.
• It has a working time of one and a
half minutes. The cement self cures in
two minutes with no need for a curing
light.
• ZONEfree comes in a 4 gm. automix
syringe that provides accurate placement and minimal waste. It includes
eight application tips.
• The manufacturer’s product number
is 27041 and the MSRP is $45.

aterialise Dental just
launched a new userfriendly implant planning solution. With
SimPlant GO, there are no surprises
during surgery because you have optimally planned the implants in the
bone — and with SurgiGuide, this
planning is then transferred into a
fully predictable surgery.
SimPlant GO’s intuitive navigation,
3-D images and simple four-step process is so straightforward that you
can learn it over lunchtime, during
a break or in-between appointments,
the company said.
This software is made for dentists
who have only a few minutes to become familiar with this easy 3-D
implant-planning software.
SimPlant has been hugely successful
during the past 20 years in addressing the needs of the implant specialists, the company said. However, some
dentists who were placing implants less
frequently felt overwhelmed by the
amount of flexibility that SimPlant has
offered. SimPlant GO has been designed
to specifically address their needs.
The solution has been specifically designed for dentists without a cone-beam
scanner in their office.
“Although cone beam is the way of
the future, not everybody is willing to
invest in it yet. And now dentists have
a great, low-threshold solution to start
with computer-guided implantology,”
said Bert Van Roie, SimPlant product
The latest from OSADA:
Enac Model OE-F15
manager for Materialise Dental.
“We strongly believe there is a place for
our earlier products, so we will continue
to invest in their future, and new versions of SimPlant Planner, Pro and Master will be released this fall,” said Bart
Swaelens, CEO at Materialise Dental.
“Expanding our portfolio is our way of
ensuring that the best implant planning
software and surgical guides on the market reach the widest audience possible.”
Part of the scan-plan-guide process,
SimPlant GO is more than just a fancy
new computer software program; it’s
part of a full solution for your cases.
“On top of this, the process is a cool and
smooth user experience,” he added.

ANCHORS’

Company launches its enhanced bone-cutting
specialist with extended boosting power
OSADA developed and introduced Enac
in the United States in 1984, a piezoelectric ultrasonic system, multi-purpose
instrument that can be used in various
applications in the dental field.
Utilizing the dynamic nature of piezoelectric ultrasonic system, Enac has been
used extensively in endodontic and periodontic treatments, OSADA says. Because
it is automatically tuned, the Enac system is user-friendly. It provides continually stable oscillation at any level of power with any of the chosen tips. Its ease of
operation enhances the users’ technique
in achieving excellent results, the company says.
The clinical application of the ultrasonic device in the oral surgery field has
been seen in a variety of different contexts, including ultrasonic scalpels, apicoectomy and bone surgery in the maxillofacial area, to name a few.
In particular, bone surgery, which uses
the piezoelectric element (the dynamic
energy in the ultrasonic wave), ensures
minimal invasion to biological tissues including blood vessels and nerves, which
in turn leads to faster healing after surgery.
Upon the introduction of the OSADA
Enac OE-W10, featuring extended power
setting No. 10 through No. 12 and sterile irrigation by the peristaltic pump,
many extended applications in oral surgery became easily attainable, including
atraumatic tooth extractions, osteotomy,
osteoplasty, sinus lift, split ridge, crown
extension, implant preparation, corticotomy and more.
With OSADA’S latest model, Enac OEF15, the focus is on the powerful but safe
bone cutting (power No. 10 through No.

15). The surgical tips (also known as ultrasonic scalpels) enable the surgeons to
present fine and precise cutting results.
Combined with newly introduced
stronger tips, the OE-F15 makes the minimally invasive surgical procedures easier
to attain by cutting the bone faster but
leaving the adjacent soft tissue, blood
vessels, nerves, etc., with minimal injury,
the company said.
The ergonomically designed SE15 handpiece stays cool and its LED illuminates
the surgical area. The built-in peristaltic pump with simultaneous irrigation
minimizes temperature increases on the
handpiece, tips and the surgical area.
