AAP Annual Meeting — Oct. 27–30, 2022
Study links periodontitis
and COVID-19 complications
n Systemic inflammation is not only
a symptom of COVID-19, but can also
be a symptom of periodontal disease,
or gum disease. Noticing this similarity, research published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology found
that gum disease is linked to severe
COVID-19-related complications.
According to the American Academy of Periodontology, these findings
signal the importance of diligent oral
care.
“It is well-established that systemic
inflammation is not only linked with
periodontal disease but to several
other respiratory diseases as well,”
said Dr. James G. Wilson, former president of the AAP. “Therefore, maintaining healthy teeth and gums in an effort
to avoid developing or worsening periodontal disease is absolutely crucial.”
Conducted using the national electronic health records of the State of
Qatar between February and July
2020, the study analyzed patient
cases with severe COVID-19 complications (death, ICU admissions or
assisted ventilation).
The control group was comprised
of COVID-19 patients discharged without major complications. Periodontal
conditions in the two groups were
analyzed using dental radiographs
from the same database.
Of the 568 patients studied, those
with periodontitis were at least three
times more likely to experience complications, including death, ICU admission and assisted ventilation.

AAP Annual Meeting — Oct. 27–30, 2022
‘We have changed the trajectory and
capability for innovation of the company’
By Franziska Beier,
Dental Tribune International
n As the AAP Annual Meeting gets
underway, Dental Tribune International (DTI) had the opportunity to go
behind the scenes to learn more about
one of the companies exhibiting during the meeting, Keystone Dental.
Speaking with CEO Melker Nilsson,
DTI learned about a recent acquisition that has fueled the company’s
mission to bring a unique full-arch
solution to the market.
Mr. Nilsson, could you tell us a little
bit about Keystone and its history,
and perhaps how it has grown and
developed since its beginnings?
Keystone was founded in 2006 by a
very large, well-known U.S.-based
private equity house called Warburg
Pincus. The modern history of the
company really started with our current owner, Accelmed, who acquired
the majority stake of Keystone in
2018 and very rapidly thereafter
acquired Paltop, an Israeli manufacturer of dental implants, which
provided a high-end manufacturing
plant in Israel.
Now, we are manufacturing almost
all of our implants in Israel and have
consequently improved our product
quality.
It was after these changes that
I started as CEO in 2019. Another
recent change was the acquisition of
the Australian company Osteon Medical, which has developed some highly
innovative and, I would even say,
revolutionary prosthetic concepts —
the Nexus iOS — to restore a full arch.
Through these recent acquisitions,
we have changed the trajectory and
capability for innovation of the company, putting us in a very good position. We look forward to presenting
this to the U.S. market!
Would you be able to share more
about this unique full-arch solution?
The problem we are solving is this:
it is a relatively complex process to
restore a full arch in a completely
edentulous patient, and it is quite
time-consuming. Osteon Medical has
been able to significantly reduce the
treatment steps and time it takes to
restore a full arch and does so with a
product with much higher precision,
among other advantages, based fully
on digital technology. In addition,
I would say that the price is highly
competitive.
Even though this technology has
been around for almost three years,

solution, you need an intra-oral scanner and you might want to include a
printer. We offer this service of being
a one-stop shop for our customers
for the entire digital workflow of our
newly acquired solution.

and it’s known in Australia, it’s widely
unknown in important markets such
as Europe and North America—except
for a few European dentists. So, the
reason why we acquired this company is to drive it in a new direction
and to promote the solution in order to
bring it to more markets.
Several articles on this new
technology are already available
and have been published in Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related
Research, in the International Journal
of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants and
in implants—international magazine of
oral implantology.
Let’s also talk about, more generally,
the Keystone product portfolio. What
does your company offer, and what
are some of the greatest benefits
of your company’s products for
clinicians and their patients?
Our overall focus lies on rehabilitation with dental implants, and we
offer products in five categories: dental implants, abutments, prosthetic
solutions, biomaterials and now also
full-arch restoration from a prosthetic point of view.
In addition to this, we offer the
associated technology that supports
clinicians. For example, if you want to
work in an efficient way with our new
What can Keystone customers look
forward to in the future?
Between now and the end of the first
quarter in 2023, we will be launching
more than 500 new products. We have
invested a lot to significantly increase
our innovation pipeline.
Moreover, we are arranging six
international conferences: Toronto
(March 24 and 25), Chicago (April
20 and 21), Newport Beach, Calif.
(May 11 and 12), Athens (June 22 and
23 June), Boston (Oct. 13 and 14) and
Melbourne, Australia (Nov. 9 and 10).
Our global symposium, which we
held this year in Las Vegas, will
return in 2024. We launched the
Nexus iOS during this year’s global
symposium, and it’s fair to say that it
has been a sensation.
For next June, we are organizing
courses on full-arch rehabilitation,
for example, in conjunction with the
University of Zurich. In addition, we
are planning to offer courses in Germany in the first quarter of 2023.

NeoScan 1000 intraoral
scanner: Your solution for
digital impressions
By Neoss Group Staff
n Neoss Group is bringing dental professionals into the 21st century with
its brand new, easy-to-use intraoral
scanner.
This accurate, compact and lightweight scanner provides the possibility for a flexible workflow with
totally open files, making the output
very easy to share amongst the dental
team.
With a USB cable connection
and full-touch screen support, the
NeoScan 1000 will excite dental professionals alike and comes at an
affordable price, according to the
company.
“The NeoScan 1000 is a revelation. At this price, why wouldn’t
anyone add this scanner to their
office technology? Providing an easy
scanning system with cloud storage
in a lightweight and transportable
package, this makes total sense for
the first-time users or someone that
wants to add another scanner to their
armamentarium,” said Robert Ritter,
DMD, of Florida.
Not only has NeoScan 1000 quickly
become a favorite amongst the initial
testers, the company asserts, but it
has also produced impressive results
in comparison to other intraoral scanners on the market, as discovered by
Dr. Michael Braian of Sweden (see
chart).
In addition to the intraoral scanner
offering from Neoss, the NeoPro software that accompanies the scanner
enables users to produce restorations
in their own practice or connect to
industrial production.
Designed to make digital impressions easy and fast, it’s an open
system and includes features such
as scan history management, smart
reminders, margin line tools, inspection and measurement.
Digital impression data sharing and order communication are
designed to improve workflow efficiency, according to the company.

Reproducible accuracy with Dr. Silvia La Rosa
By Silvia La Rosa, DDS, Diplomate of
the American Board of Periodontology
n What comes to mind when we
think of computer-guided surgery?
Accuracy, reproducibility, reliability,
safety, efficiency, sophistication, progress, constant evolution, continuous
evolution and flexibility.
When searching for technology
with such characteristics, I stopped
and reviewed the clinical challenges
of previous techniques. Like most of
you, I shifted from free-hand surgery
to static guidance, first fabricated
in-office and later through CAD/CAM
technology, which has drawbacks.
In my experience, Dynamic Navigation using Navident is my go-to in
every case because of its reproducible
accuracy. I find this most important in
areas of restricted vertical access and
critical spaces.
It offers me the ability to change
my plan within the procedure, which
is crucial; as we advance in the sinus
cavity, we need to place implants
accurately with transcrestal sinus
elevation without losing the tactile
feel.

Given its versatility and accuracy, dynamic navigation naturally
expanded to the field of endodontics
to facilitate accurate and more conservative access to calcified canals
and microsurgery.
We must choose technology

mind. Therefore, we must critically
research and understand the benefits
and drawbacks of the technologies

efficacious treatment modalities for
our patient’s needs. Computer-guided
implant placement remains an attractive choice as we aim for reproducible
accuracy that impacts the patients’
restorative, biological and functional
outcomes.
Often, we decline to use more effective and more accurate technologies
because of perceived and sometimes
genuine changes to our daily practice, resulting in less than ideal and
non-reproducible results. Computerguided surgery is not easier, yet it
sure is more accurate, making the
outcome optimal for the patient and
the clinician, thus minimizing chair
time for both.
New techniques and technologies
inspire us to do better for our patients,
be inquisitive, learn and grow professionally. We need to adapt to
change and invest time and effort
personally and financially to succeed. With every new system that we
incorporate into our practice, there is
a familiarity curve. Dynamic Navigation using Navident has been exciting, enjoyable and rewarding for our
team members and me.
Navident was the right choice for
our practice in 2017 and continues
to be the go-to technology to obtain
the most accurate and reproducible
results.

W&H’s Piezomed: Minimally
invasive, maximum power
By W&H Staff
n Piezomed puts all the advantages
of innovative ultrasound technology
at your fingertips: High-frequency
microvibrations allow cutting with
incredible precision. In addition, with
the so-called cavitation effect, you
can also ensure an almost blood-free
surgical site.
In other words, according to W&H,
the company behind the Piezomed,
it‘s minimally invasive and maximally effective.
The force in bone surgery
Piezomed facilitates the surgeon’s
work. Thanks to innovative ultrasound technology, only bone substance is resected with high precision. The surrounding soft tissue
remains uninjured.
According to the company, it’s a
noticeable relief for the patient, who
has less pain and quicker healing.
The innovative LED ring ensures
shadow-free light, ideal for illumination of the operating site.
With Piezomed from W&H, surgical
interventions can be performed
quickly and safely. State-of-the-art
ultrasound technology allows cutting
with precision. (Photos/Provided by

Clinical case
“External sinus augmentation with
delayed implant placement” by
Professor István Urbán, DMD, MD,
PhD, utilizes spatula-formed or round
piezoelectric instruments to prepare
the outline of the lateral window.
In this procedure, Urbán does not
detach the bone from the membrane
but infractures it and rotates it into
the sinus using specialized piezoelectric instruments.
Prior to delayed implant placement, the sinus is augmented with a
sagittal sandwich grafting technique.
Challenge of the procedure and
benefits of the Piezomed
The most significant risk of external
maxillary sinus augmentation procedures is damage to the Schneiderian
membrane (see Figs. 1 to 3). In this
context, the piezoelectric approach
reduces the rate of intraoperative
complications.
Clinicians with limited experience
should prepare the lateral window
with either of the diamond-coated
Piezomed instruments S1 or S2. These
instruments are safe, even at the preset power of 80, which allows them to
accomplish the procedure in a relatively short time.
Because of their selective cutting
action, these instruments cut effi-
Fig. 1: The outline of the lateral window can alternatively be prepared with the round Piezomed instrument S2 (preset power
65). Fig. 2: Note the rounded outline of the window. Fig. 3: As in the first example, the lateral bone fragment is rotated into the
sinus. Note the membrane, which has been detached and likewise moved cranially. As the membrane is very thin, the surgeon
has to use extreme care not to cause any perforations. (Case study photos/Provided by Professor István Urbán, DMD, MD, PhD)
