2019 Innovation Grant Recipients announced
By AAP Staff
n The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) is pleased to announce
that members Kevin M. Byrd, DDS,
PhD; Maria L. Geisinger, DDS, MS; and
Chun-Teh Lee, DDS, MS, DMSc, are the
2019 recipients of the SUNSTAR Innovation Grant.
Each winner will receive $30,000
for their research projects as part

of the AAP’s partnership with oral
health and technology company
SUNSTAR, which has committed to
awarding scientific grants to AAP
members whose investigations show
significant potential to advance the
specialty of periodontics.
Byrd’s research project, “An Atlas
of Experimental Gingivitis in Humans
at Single Cell Resolution,” aims to
develop chairside tools to predict gin-

givitis to periodontitis conversion (i.e.,
at-risk individuals) and to develop
specific adjuvant therapies for
periodontitis-afflicted
individuals
based on the principles of precision
medicine.
“Recently, there has been an exponential increase in our understanding
of human diseases,” Byrd said. “However, even for common oral diseases
like periodontitis, we have just begun

to grasp the complexity of interactions
at play.”
Geisinger’s research project,
“Development of Multimedia Educational Materials for Caregivers to Enable Optimal Oral Hygiene Provisions
for Patients with Dementia,” intends
to develop multimedia tools that can
be used to educate professional and

Esthetics backed by science
By Keystone Dental Staff
n When it comes to immediate placement and long-term esthetics, look
no farther than Genesis — The Biomimetic Implant System™.
Being offered here at the AAID, the
product offers a dual thread design
for immediate placement in an extraction socket while its Anatite™ pink surface provides a natural hue through
the peri-implant mucosa.
Micro threads minimize pressure
on the cortical bone while aggressive
macro threads offer primary mechanical stability, especially in soft bone
— providing optimal insertion torque
and immediate function in all bone
types, according to the company.
The BioSpark™ proprietary anodic
spark deposition (ASD) process produces a charged macro-micro-nano
textured surface that mimics the
chemical composition and structure
of natural bone.
The dark gray shadow of traditional titanium implants is no longer
a concern with an AnaTite pink surface, featuring a natural, uniformly
pink hue that closely resembles the
peri-implant mucosa.
According to a independent study
conducted through the Harvard
School of Dental Medicine, light

Nobel Biocare highlights dynamic 3-D
navigation and ceramic implant solution
By Nobel Biocare Staff
n With X-Guide empowered by DTX
Studio Implant, Nobel Biocare is presenting an innovative new treatment
option for same-day guided surgery
here at the 105th Annual Meeting
of the American Academy of periodontology. The company is further
showcasing a unique alternative to
titanium implants with its recently
launched NobelPearl ceramic implant
system.
A metal-free, two-piece ceramic
implant solution with a cement-free
internal connection, NobelPearl has
been designed to support natural softtissue appearance. Its white zirconia
material is especially beneficial in
patients with a thin mucosal biotype.
Microcirculatory dynamics in periimplant mucosa around zirconia have
been shown to be comparable to those
around natural teeth, and zirconia
has also demonstrated low plaque
affinity.
In essence, NobelPearl can help
patients gain the natural esthetic
excellence they desire, according to
the company. NobelPearl features
the VICARBO screw made of carbonfiber reinforced polymer. Designed
for a strong ceramic-to-ceramic connection, it withstands tensile forces
while the ceramic absorbs compressive forces.
The thread design and tapered
implant shape, combined with the
tapered drill protocol, have been
engineered to achieve high primary
stability. Furthermore, the hydrophilic sand-blasted and acid-etched

ZERAFIL surface, combined with a
partially machined collar, is proven
to osseointegrate.
NobelPearl follows a range of wellestablished workflows for two-piece
implants and is integrated into Nobel
Biocare’s digital workflow. Clinicians
seeking a successful start in ceramic
implantology and to expand their
choice for patients can thus gain
peace of mind with this easy-to-adopt
solution, the company said.

With the X-Guide system, clinicians further have a new treatment
option for same-day guided surgery
available, now that DTX Studio
Implant empowers this innovative
system for dynamic 3-D navigation.
Treatment plans from DTX
Studio Implant (formerly NobelClinician) can be quickly delivered
to the patient, facilitating a workflow
for diagnostics, implant planning and
dynamically navigated implant surgeries, even during emergency interventions where computer-assisted
surgeries until now could not be fully
applied.
The connection between DTX Studio and X-Guide aims for clinicians to
achieve high precision and shorter
time-to teeth treatments, including

screw-retained
provisionalisation
with full three-dimensional control
of their implant site preparation
and dynamically monitored implant
insertion. On the day of treatment, the
clinician carries out the 3-D (CB)CT
scan and the intraoral surface scans,
creates the treatment plan in DTX
Studio Implant and immediately
exports it with all the planning components to X-Guide.
Similar to a GPS in a car, X-Guide
provides stable, lag-free, real-time
3-D intraoral guidance of the drill and
implant position in relation to patient
anatomy, according to the company.
X-Guide is manufactured by X-Nav,

New loupes expand your vision
Panoramic Field Loupes represent a significant development in telescope design
By Designs for Vision Staff
n Designs for Vision is launching
several new product lines here at
the the 105th Annual Meeting of the
AAP.
Designs for Vision will be showing
the new patented (US pat. 8928975B2)
3.5x and 4.5x Panoramic Loupes.
According to the company, the Panoramic Field Loupes represent the
most significant advancement in telescope design in more than 100 years.
The viewable areas are twice as
large as prismatic expanded-fielddesigned loupes and up to five times
greater than Galilean designed
optics. Panoramic Field Loupes provide unprecedented field of view, clarity, definition and color, according to
the company.
Designs for Vision is also featuring the REALITY 5 Star rated Micro
3.5EF Scopes and Micro 4.5EF Scopes,
which use a revolutionary optical
AD

design that reduces the size of the
prismatic telescope by 50 percent
and reduces the weight by 40 percent
while providing an expanded field
view of the oral cavity. The company
also is introducing the Micro 3.0EF in
its line of Micro Series Loupes. The
Micro 3.0EF has a field of view of 100
mm and weighs less than 70 grams.
You can see the lightest 3.0x magnification with the new 3.0x Galiliean
loupes from Designs for Vision. The
Galilean design enables users to step
up in magnification while retaining a
sharp 70 mm field of view.
Designs for Vision is also introducing patented (U.S. pat. 8,851,709
and RE46,463) hands-free infrared

cally focuses the light from the LED
to provide 45 percent more light with
uniform distribution at 5,800° Kelvin, the ideal color temperature.
The patented IR feature enables
improved infection control by letting
practitioners operate the headlight
without touching the system. The
IR headlights use a built-in infrared
signal to enable turning the light on
or off simply and safely. Onboard
biometrics sense the position of the
headlight to filter out unintended
signals while working.
Designs for Vision has added the
High Definition Imaging to all of
its headlights, including the LED
DayLite® WireLess™ IR and the LED

DayLite WireLess Mini, providing a
lightweight cordless solution with
light intensity comparable to many
corded headlights. You can choose
High Definition Imaging with either a
wired or wireless design, and any of
the HDi headlights will illuminate the
entire oral cavity.
Designs for Vision’s WireLess headlights free users from being tethered
to a battery pack. Prior technology
married a cordless light to one pair of
loupes via a cumbersome integration
of the batteries and electronics into
the frame. The compact design of the
LED DayLite WireLess headlights are
independent of any frame/loupes.
The LED DayLite Micro HDi uses
the new HDi with a lightweight headlight in combination with the Micro
power pack. The Micro power pack is
the lightest and smallest power pack.
The complete unit includes two power
packs, and each power pack can run
up to 10 hours.

Tapered Pro implants:
A predictable solution
for immediate treatment
By BioHorizons Staff
n
Immediate implant treatment
requires predictability. Tapered Pro
implants have been developed based
on more than 10 years of tapered
implant success. The unique design
elements provide a predictable solution for immediate treatment, according to BioHorizons, the company
behind the product.
The Tapered Pro implant design
features a tapered body and deep
buttress threads to provide primary
stability. The proprietary buttress
thread design compressively loads
bone, while the tapered body produces a progressive increase in insertion torque during implant placement.
The end cutting, self-tapping
thread design of the tapered region
of the implant allows for controlled
implant placement, even in challenging sites, according to the company.
These features also held to disperse
bone chips throughout the osteotomy.
The collar of the implant is
designed with a reduced diameter
to preserve vital bone while maintaining a platform switching design.
The unique Laser-Lok microchannels on the implant collar create a
connective tissue attachment and
retain crestal bone, allowing for better control of esthetic outcomes, the
company asserts.
Laser-Lok is a proprietary surface treatment exclusively used on
BioHorizons implants. Its success in
maintaining soft tissue and retaining
crestal bone levels can be attributed
to more than 25 years of research,
including in vitro, animal and human
studies.
The surface is developed using
laser ablation to create circumferential, cell-sized microchannels around
the collar of the implant. The optimal
size of these channels allows for
attachment and organization of both
osteoblasts and fibroblasts.
Laser-Lok is the only surface
shown to attract a physical, con-

nective tissue attachment, mimicking the natural connections between
teeth and surrounding tissue. This
attachment helps to inhibit epithelial
downgrowth and maintain levels of
crestal bone for superior esthetic
results, according to the company.
The prosthetic connection of
Tapered Pro implants utilizes a conical internal hex design for a stable
biological seal and a rigid connection,
the company asserts. The implants
are fully compatible with the current
line of authentic BioHorizons abutments and prosthetic parts.
The prosthetic geometry of both
the implants and the abutments are
color-coded using anodization, providing a simple and reliable method
to match the correct components
together.
The Tapered Pro implants are also
compatible with the BioHorizons surgical kit and the BioHorizons guided
surgery kit. The protocols for osteotomy development utilize the current
line of tapered drills, with protocols
for placement in soft bone or dense
bone.
With the addition of Tapered

Ceramic implants are an
emerging opportunity,
and now is the time
By ZERAMEX Staff
n It’s time to take a serious look at
modern ceramic implants as a profitable health center for your practice.
Like the rapidly growing $50 billion
organic market, ceramic implants
are here to stay. Not only can ceramic
implants help us to improve the
health and cosmetics of our patients,
they can serve as a practice differentiator, driving profitable and loyal
patients.
According to studies, the market
share of ceramic implants is currently 2-3 percent but is predicted
to represent 24 percent by 2022. For
practitioners, this means the time is
now to incorporate them into your
practice and join the quickest growing market opportunity in dental
implantology.
Modern ceramic implants have
come a long way from the monocrystalline alumina implants during the
Brånemark days. Now made of zirconia oxide (Zr02), they are no longer
one piece, smooth or difficult to place
or restore.
Leading the evolution and modernization of ceramic implants is
ZERAMEX,® a Switzerland-based
manufacturer of ceramic implants
with FDA approval since 2016 and
current distribution throughout the
United States. ZERAMEX XT is a twopiece, screw-retained system that
functions surgically and restorative
like current titanium implants.
The XT system is tapered in design,
has an internal connection and the
unique VICARBO® screw creates a
seal against bacteria and micromovement. The current product offer has
restorative flexibility with multiple
abutment choices and will soon have
scan bodies and a complete digital
workflow with fully customized prosthetics. Modern ceramic implants
now offer the same ease of use as current titanium implants, according to
the company.  
Here are three reasons you should
consider adding ceramic implants to

your armamentarium:
1. Demand for metal-free implants is
growing as patients are seeking more
natural and biocompatible products
and asking their dentists about alternatives to titanium implants. If your
practice is close to a Whole Foods
market or other organic market, you
likely have patients who would appreciate the choice of a non-metal solution. Your practice could be missing
this same patient as they search for a
solution fulfilling their dental needs.
2. Patients have become more educated and demanding. Not only do
they want a tooth replacement for
functionality, but they are demanding exceptional esthetics. In thin tissue type and anterior cases, we have
all witnessed occasional greying and
metal transparency.
Ceramic implants are white, often
eliminating the need for tissue graft-

ing. Ceramic implants should be presented as a solution for all single tooth
cases in the anterior. Patient demand
for cosmetic solutions should be a
strong consideration in the offerings
provided.
3. Ceramic implants are worthy of
consideration because of the inherent
esthetic characteristics of zirconia as
well as its friendly biological properties. The fact is soft tissue has documented greater affinity for ceramic
implants over titanium implants.
Recent research raises valid concerns about the biological properties
of titanium, especially with regards

to peri-implantitis. Individuals with
specific polymorphisms (SNPs) are
even at greater risk both from a
dental and systemic point of view. At
the same time, research on zirconia
is quite positive and progressing
by leaps and bounds, according to
the company. Ceramic implants have
documented reduction in plaque and
bacterial attraction and are not susceptible to corrosion over time. Soft
tissue around a zirconia implant is
similar to that in soft tissue around
natural teeth.
As more research becomes available about long-term results, ceramic
implants will become the preferred
choice of many dental implantologists for biological, cosmetic and softtissue results, the company asserts.
