AAID Foundation’s new moniker
reflects its expanded mission
n Although “Research” is no longer
in the name of the AAID Foundation,
research will not be slighted by the
foundation.
The foundation board voted in June
to expand the mission of the foundation beyond research to include
such activities as support for humani-
tarian efforts, grants for education,
development of an implant training
center and more.
According to Dr. Jaime Lozada,
chair of the AAID Foundation,
“Removing the name ‘research’ will
not impact the foundation’s role in
supporting research grants. It will
allow the foundation to expand to
include other areas of support.”
Individual members and dental
companies will now have additional
programs and projects to support
with their contributions to the foundation.
Those wishing to honor the mem-
ory of Dr. Norman Goldberg, AAID’s
founder who recently passed away,
may want to make a memorial contribution to the AAID Foundation.
Contributions can be sent to the
foundation at AAID’s headquarters,
attention Afshin Alavi, at 211 E. Chicago Ave., Suite 750, Chicago 60611.

AAID Annual Meeting — October 5, 2012
Get your AAID credentials today
n AAID stands for excellence in education, scientific development and
patient care. The academy provides
bona fide credentialing in implant
dentistry through the associate fellow and fellow membership examinations.
The associate fellow and fellow
credentials are recognized by numerous state boards and, most recently,
by the state court in Florida and the
United States Federal Court in California. One of the remaining states
that prohibited the announcement
of credentials, Texas, is in the process of amending its rules to allow
AD
such advertising. More information
is available at www.aaid.com or by
contacting Joyce Sigmon at joyce@
aaid.com or (312) 335-1550.
Associate fellow membership
If you wish to substantiate your
expertise in implant dentistry
through a verifiable credentialing
process, the associate fellow membership is where you begin. Your associate fellow certificate will let patients
know you are an experienced, credentialed implant professional.
To become an associate fellow,
you must meet the educational and
experiential requirements and pass
a two-part examination. Part one is
a written examination, and part two
includes an oral examination and the
defense of three cases that meet the
criteria specified in the case requirements section of the “Requirements
for the Associate Fellow Membership
Examination.”
Beginning in 2013, those who have
passed Part 1 of the associate fellow
examination may choose to take the
oral/case examination for either associate fellow or fellow membership. In
either case, the oral/case examination must be completed successfully
Here at the AAID
Opportunities are available to find out
more about the fellow and associate
fellow process and requirements.
• Admissions and Credentials (A&C)
Board in the exhibit hall: Visit the
A&C Board’s area near the entrance
to the exhibit hall. There you will
have the opportunity to talk with
some of this year’s new credentialed members and see how they
implemented the “Guidelines for
the Preparation of Case Reports.”
Representatives of the A&C Board
will also be present. Stop by from
5:30–7 p.m. today during the Implant World Expo Reception and
from 9:30–10:30 a.m. Saturday during the morning break.
• A&C Board roundtable sessions: The
A&C Board has scheduled a roundtable session from 9:30–10:30 a.m.
today during the morning break
where you can talk with members
of the board about the examination process. There is no charge for
this session, but pre-registration is
required.
Scan this QR Code
for more information about admissions and credentials as well as for
the applications
and study guides.
within four years after passing Part
1, and candidates for the oral/case
examination must be general members of the academy in good standing.
For more information, visit the
credentialing section of the AAID
website (www.aaid.com).
Fellow membership
Fellow membership is the next step
in validating your expertise and proficiency in implant dentistry. Your
fellow certificate and medallion will
be tangible representations of your
achievements that you can display to
your patients.
Any member who is an associate
fellow of the academy in good standing or, starting in 2013, who has
passed Part 1 of the associate fellow
examination, has five or more years of
experience in the practice of implant
dentistry and provides both the surgical and prosthetic phases of implant
treatment is eligible for election as a
fellow.
All applicants for fellowship must
have completed at least 100 hours
of continuing education in implant
dentistry in addition to the 300 hours
required for associate fellow membership, i.e. a total of 400 hours, and
have attended an annual scientific
session or educational course offered
by the AAID or note of its districts
within the two years before the examination. Proof of attendance must be
submitted with the application.
All applicants must also meet the
professional and leadership requirements specified in the “Requirements
for the Fellow Membership Examination.”

AAID Annual Meeting — October 5, 2012
The evolution of sinus lift techniques
By Andrew Kelly, DDS
About the author
n When Dr. O. Hilt Tatum performed
his sinus lift technique in 1975, I
wonder if he had any idea of how it
would evolve or the controversies
that would surround this procedure.
I can say there exist as many techniques as there are opinions on how
the procedure should be performed
and who should perform it.
A sinus lift is a surgery that adds
bone to the maxilla in the area of the
molars and premolars. It’s sometimes
called a sinus augmentation. The
bone is added between the floor of
the maxillary sinus and the Schneiderian membrane. To make room for
the bone, the sinus membrane has to
be moved upward, or “lifted.” Any
dentist who is trained to do it can do a
sinus lift. Tatum, the originator of the
procedure, is a general dentist.
There are two basic methods for
performing the sinus lift technique.
The first method is the Lateral window technique, which was described
by Boyne in 1960. The procedure was
used by Boyne to achieve an optimal
intercrestal distance needed for denture making.
Andrew Kelly, DDS, is a graduate
of California State University, Long
Beach, and received his DDS degree
from Howard University. He received
his advanced implant training from
the Core-Vent Institute in Encino, Calif.,
and the Medical College of Georgia in
Augusta, Ga. He is a diplomate of The
American Board of Oral Implantology/
Implant Dentistry, a fellow of the AAID,
a fellow of the AGD and a member of the
ICOI, the AACD and the AO. Kelly owns
and operates Dental Center of the Carolinas, a private cosmetic and implant
dental practice. He is also co-owner of
Dental Office Solutions, a dental staffing, consulting and training center for
cosmetic and implant education.

The sinus lift techniques have
undergone numerous modifications
through the years. In 1975, Tatum
was the first to perform the lateral
window technique in conjunction
with autogenous bone grafting for the
purpose of placing dental implants in
the newly formed bone. Although the
lateral window technique is highly
invasive, it is a necessary procedure.
In 1994, Summers, who was in pursuit
of a less invasive sinus lift method,
made the surgical protocol easier
by offering crestal approach or osteotome technique.
Initially, the osteotome technique
was used for compressing the soft
maxillary bone to improve primary
stability of implants and to increase
success rates of implants placed in the
posterior maxilla. After a period of

success using the technique for bone
compression, Summers started floor
dilatation of the sinus, thus increasing the length of his implants. When
the technique was first introduced,
there were two significant disadvantages that limited this technique’s
indications.
The first disadvantage was the
limited heath that the sinus could be
raised. Initially, Summers was able
to successfully lift the membrane
1–3 mms. The second limitation was
the inability to directly visualize
the membrane. The technique was
initially performed with convex osteotomes by using the sinus floor to lift
the membrane. After the membrane
is lifted, bone grafting material is the
used to hydraulically lift the Schneiderian membrane. Today, using modern technologies such as piezoelectric
units and balloons as well as crestal
approach kits, which use saline, we
are now able to achieve height gains
that rival those of the lateral window
technique, with little concern for
membrane perforation.
So where are we today? Very
few practitioners, including Tatum,
routinely use autogenous bone for
sinus augmentation. One of the main
reasons is there are several excellent
alternative bone grafting materials
available that don’t require a secondary surgical site and provide very
similar results to autogenous bone. So
one question that is being asked a lot
lately is: Is autogenous bone the “gold
standard”? The jury is still out, but
there is a lot of evidence out there that
suggest it is not. Only time will tell.
The lateral window technique is
being used more sparingly these days.
There are several methods available
that have allowed us to effectively
raise the Schneiderian membrane
5–7 mms or more routinely and place
the implant simultaneously, as long
as we have enough crestal bone to get
primary stability. This technique is
safer for the patient, and it reduces
the chance that an infection will
occur.
Lastly, with the evolution of safer
and more predictable sinus lift methods, more dentists are able to successfully perform the procedure, which
allow more patients to have implants
in the posterior maxilla.
Implant dentistry is a discipline
that requires the practitioner to possess a wide range of skills. As the technology improves, it will open the door
to a wider dissemination of implant
dentistry into our society and help to
increase the quality of life for many
patients that need our help. Technology will never replace knowledge and
skill; however, it can and will lower
the learning curve and help more
practitioners provide state-of-the-art
services to their patients.

AAID Annual Meeting — October 5, 2012
ANEW meets ‘most
precise’ standards
Narrow-body implants ideal for patients who have limited inter-dental spaces,
insufficient bone or require provisionalization during augmentation procedures
n First used in 2000 and granted FDA
approval in 2004 for long-term use as
determined by health-care providers, the 1.8, 2.2 and 2.4 mm diameter
ANEW implants from Dentatus have
met the most precise implantology
standards having undergone rigorous testing, research and clinical use
by the profession.
ANEW Implants are widely recognized by clinicians and universities worldwide. These narrow-body
implants provide effective remedy
for many because they are ideal
for patients who have limited interdental spaces, insufficient bone or
require provisionalization during
augmentation procedures.
Nearly 25 percent of patients who
come in for implant treatment will
not have enough bone to place a
conventional diameter implant,
Dentatus said. ANEW Implants should
also be considered when financial
constraints might delay or prevent
treatment. Every practitioner placing
implants should consider including
ANEW in his or her armamentarium
so that all patients might take advantage of the benefits that implants
afford.
ANEW Implants are the only onepiece narrow-body implants that
have restorative options for screwretained prosthesis, Dentatus said.
ANEW boasts a number of features
that set it apart from other implants,
including a short-threaded external
connector that tolerates substantial
abutment angulation without stress.
ANEW’s prosthetic components
provide patients with a cosmetic,
fixed chairside restoration at the time
of placement so they never have to go
without teeth. There are a variety of
platforms available for restorative
ease, presenting flexibility for optimal esthetic solutions.
For instances of single-tooth
replacement in narrow spaces, the
availability of ANEW Implants provides patients who might have to
proceed with a fixed or resin-bonded
bridge the luxury of dental implants
without preparation and/or reduction of the adjacent natural dentition.

erative challenges and dramatically
reduces the total time in treatment.
These implants solve the problems
of time, money and perceived pain
for most patients who otherwise do
not proceed with care, Dentatus said.
Other indications for use:
Atrophic and thin ridges

Another advantage to this modality
is the maintenance of aveolar bone,
which is documented to undergo
resorption with other restorative
options.
In 2012, Dr. Francois Fisslier and
Dr. Carlos Munoz from the New York
University Department of Implant
Dentistry presented the following
findings about papilla regeneration
at the Academy of Osseointegration’s
27th annual meeting:
“In this case series, nine patients
received 10 [ANEW Narrow Diameter
Implants (NDIs)], which were loaded
for periods of six months to 10 years
post-insertion. No implants or prosthesis had to be removed or replaced
during the follow-up period. Neither
a surgical or prosthetic complication
was seen on any of the 10 NDIs.
“The average mesial [Papilla Index
Score (PIS)] was 2.4 and the average
distal PIS was 2.7, indicating the NDIs
regenerated at least 50 percent of the
papilla in all cases (20/20 papilla).”
The non-hygroscopic screwcap
allows for retrievability, so that during the healing period the restoration
contours can be easily modified to the
tissue architecture, thereby eliminating a final “black triangle” result,
Dentatus said.
Their effective adaptation and integration in bone has been shown to be
on par with conventional implant fixtures and provide excellent support
and retention.
In 2007, Dr. Stuart Froum and
his colleagues published a study in
the International Journal of Perio
and Restorative Dentistry stating “40
ANEW Implants in patients for one to
five years post-loading. No implant
failures were reported, yielding a 100
percent survival rating.”
In 2005, the Journal of Oral and
Maxillofacial Implants published
Dr. Michael Rohrer’s histology
study on Dentatus implants. Rohrer
determined that the percentage of
bone in contact with the body of
Dentatus implants is in “the same
range and sometimes higher than
what is usually seen with conventional implants.”
The recommended surgical techniques allow for minimally invasive
flapless placement and immediate
loading. This eliminates most postop-
For patients with atrophic and thin
ridges who cannot or do not want to
undergo lengthy augmentation procedures based on age, systemic disease or inadequate volume of bone,
ANEW Implants are an economical
and viable long-term solution.
Emergency repairs
One of the most difficult situations
for the practitioner is the emergency
intraoral repair of a broken bridge.
With ANEW Implants on hand, those
difficulties are a thing of the past,
Dentatus said. Once the bridge is
removed, the implant can be placed
in the interceptal bone, stabilizing
the bridge, returning the patient to a
dentate state while a long-term treatment plan is determined.
Bone augmentation
Many implant treatment plans
include some type of bone augmentation procedure. It may involve a sinus
lift, replacement of the buccal plate
and/or widening or heightening a
ridge.
Selling an implant case involves
overcoming a patient’s concerns;
one of the major roadblocks is the
patient’s perception of a long, drawn
out treatment period. ANEW implants
will give patients teeth during the
entire treatment and avoids transmucosal loading of the graft while the
patient is able to function with a fixed
restoration.

Clinical benefits of the Inclusive
Tooth Replacement Solution
By Darrin W. Wiederhold, DMD, MS,
and Bradley C. Bockhorst, DMD
n With the new Inclusive® Tooth
Replacement Solution from Glidewell
Laboratories, the clinician receives
all the components necessary to
place, provisionalize and restore an
implant.
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. The
Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution
supports a streamlined workflow that
ensures predictability and long-term
success.
With this solution, experienced
and novice clinicians alike can place
and restore dental implants with
greater confidence than ever before.
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, including a
prosthetic guide, custom temporary
abutment, BioTemps® provisional
crown (Glidewell), custom healing
abutment, custom impression coping,
surgical drills and Inclusive Tapered
Implant (Glidewell).
On the day of surgery, place the box
contents alongside your usual surgical armamentarium. Confirm the fit
of the prosthetic guide prior to beginning the procedure (Fig. 1).
After placing the implant and verifying its position (Fig. 2), decide based
on the level of primary stability
whether to place the custom healing
abutment (Fig. 3) or 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.
Upon successful osseointegration,
the restorative phase begins. Contours of the custom impression coping
match those of the custom abutment,
so it’s simple to remove, seat the
impression coping and take an accurate full-arch final impression.
At final delivery, remove the temporary abutment. Try in the final Inclusive Custom Abutment (Glidewell)
and BruxZir ® (Glidewell) (Fig 4) or IPS

needed.
In response to the dental implant
market embracing the importance of
soft-tissue contouring, Glidewell Laboratories’ Implant department has
now expanded the Inclusive Tooth
Replacement Solution to accommodate all implant systems compatible
with the Inclusive Custom Implant
Abutment product line. This creates
the opportunity for more clinicians
to offer their patients the advantages
of the tissue-contouring system con-
GPS Abutments for Overdentures
GPS ™ abutments are available in both straight and angled (15 degrees and 30
degrees) options for many of the most popular implant systems. This abutment
is compatible with Zest Anchors’ LOCATOR® attachments and is provided with
an improved internal cap attachment that maintains 100 percent retention at
10-degrees rotation.
According to Implant Direct, GPS was recently rated “excellent” for “tolerance
of non-parallelism” with use of its angled abutments in an independent CR study.
