Dr. Torsten Jemt selected as 14th Nobel Biocare
Brånemark Osseointegration Award winner
By Academy of Osseointegration Staff
n Torsten Jemt, DDS, PhD, is the
14th recipient of the Nobel Biocare
Brånemark Osseointegration Award.
Today, he holds a combined scientific
position at the Faculty of Odontology
as an associate professor and as a
clinical scientific coordinator at the
Dental Health Service of the region of
Västra Götaland, Sweden.
This annual award, made possible
by a grant from Nobel Biocare, is
bestowed by the Osseointegration
Foundation (OF), AO’s philanthropic
arm. It honors an individual whose
impact on implant dentistry is exemplary in any or all of the foundation’s
mission categories: research, education and charitable causes.
“I was surprised and felt very honored,” said Jemt about learning he was
the 2022 recipient.

Dr. Torsten Jemt
Jemt started a collaboration with
Prof. Per-Ingvar Brånemark in 1978
and was involved in the development
of the first single implant abutments,
which he designed in 1983, and the
first CAD/CAM titanium frameworks
in 1996.
He co-founded the Brånemark
Clinic in Gothenburg in 1986 together
with Ulf Lekhom, DDS, PhD. According to Jemt, Prof. Brånemark was
very focused on the patients and
how to take care of them. He was
also focused on biology and saw the
response from the host tissue to be
crucial for the treatment result.
“In the early days, we should treat
the implants with care: only titanium
in contact with hard and soft tissue
— prosthesis components above the
tissue — good access for cleaning and
avoid probing into the tissue adjacent
to the implant,” said Jemt.
He continued: “During the early
1980s, a major focus of the team was
the testing of new clinical applications and the development of new
implant components. In 1982, I was
asked to create prosthetic components for the single implant applica-
tion, and during 1982 to 1984, Dr.
Tomas Janson and I treated the very
first single implant patients in the
world using osseointegration. I had
frequent contact with the Brånemark
team and became a part of the team in
the early 1980s, and treated my first
patient with an implant supported
prosthesis in the late 1970s.”
Jemt was co-chairman of the Brånemark Clinic between 1986 and 2000
and chairman between 2000 and
2009. He became a board-certified
prosthodontist in 1982 and received
his PhD degree in prosthodontics in
1984. He has published more than 170
scientific publications and lectured
worldwide since 1983.
At the OF Titanium Society breakfast on Saturday, Jemt will give an
exclusive presentation. He is also
scheduled to present as part of the
2022 Opening Symposium.

AO Annual Meeting — Feb. 24–26, 2022
Keep your chin up, neck straight
and eyes forward with Infinity VUE
By Designs for Vision Staff
n Designs for Vision has several new
and innovative products, including
Infinity VUE, Panoramic Field and
REVEAL.
Designed to provide a straightforward approach to ergonomics,
Infinity VUE loupes are available in
3.0x and 3.5x magnification. Infinity
VUE (Vision Up Ergonomics) keeps
your chin up, your neck straight and
your eyes forward while viewing the
magnified oral cavity.
Designs for Vision invites you to
try these loupes on to see (and feel) the
difference in your posture.
The new patented Panoramic Field
Loupes (U.S. pat. 8928975B2) represent the most significant advancement in telescope design in more than
100 years, according to the company.
The viewable areas are twice as large
as prismatic expanded field designed
loupes and up to five times greater
than Galilean loupes. Panoramic
Field loupes provide unprecedented
field of view, clarity, definition and
color, the company says.
Designs for Vision has also
launched
its
groundbreaking
REVEAL™ (U.S. pat. 10215977B1),
providing hands-free fluorescence
enhanced theragnosis™ (FET ™ ).
According to the company,
REVEAL supplies the visual information to support decision making and
facilitate proper treatment options
in cariology, oral hygiene, periodontology-implantology and restorative
dentistry.
Designs for Vision is also introducing the patented intuitive response

motion flight simulators will be on
board, replicating a pulse-pounding
WWII dog-fighting adventure, as well
as an opportunity to be an F-18 pilot
taking the “Screaming Eagles” training exercise.
The academy’s 2022 President’s
Reception will be a unique opportunity to visit this naval carrier that
features 18 decks, equal to a 20-story
building. The USS Midway was commissioned in 1945 just eight days
after the end of World War II.
Boasting a collection of more than
30 restored fighter and attack jets,
propeller aircraft and helicopters,

technology with the Micro IR HDi
headlight (U.S. pat. 8,851,709 and
RE46,463).
The patented IR feature allows you
to operate the headlight with handsfree operation. Onboard biometrics
sense the position of the headlight to
turn the light on when you are working and turn the light off when you
look up.
Designs for Vision’s WireLess™
headlights free you from being tethered to a battery pack. The simple
modular designs uncouple the headlights from a specific frame or single
pair of loupes.
The compact design of the company’s LED DayLite® WireLess headlights are independent of any frame
or loupes.
the USS Midway is the most complete
cross-section of carrier aviation. With
an expansive flight deck extending
more than three football fields, you
will be able to view restored vintage
WWII aircraft, including the F4U Corsair, the Vietnam War’s F-8 Crusader,
the F/A-19 Hornet from the Cold War,
specialist jets such as the T-2 Buckeye
and so many more.
All annual meeting registrants are
invited to attend this exciting and
fun-filled evening.
Admission and ground transportation are included as part of your
registration fee.
Get ready for another spectacular
AO gala! We look forward to seeing
you aboard the USS Midway!

AO Annual Meeting — Feb. 24–26, 2022
X-Nav achieves a milestone
with its navigation system
By X-Nav Technologies Staff
n More than 150,000 dental implants
have been surgically placed using
X-Guide® Dynamic 3D Navigation — a
system designed to assist dental surgeons in achieving more accurate and
less invasive dental implant results
than freehand surgery.
The announcement was made
recently by X-Nav Technologies, the
company behind the system. X-Nav is
a medical device company that develops surgical products for the dental
market that advance patient care
while improving doctor productivity.
According to the company, the
X-Guide surgical implant navigation
system has been eagerly accepted by
the dental community. Its success can
be attributed to remarkable ease-ofuse and seamless integration into the
fully digital surgical and prosthetic
workflow, the company said.
“We are proud of our customers
for believing this is the best technology for their practice and opting
to offer the capabilities of X-Guide
surgical navigation to their patients,”
said Edward Marandola, president
of X-Nav Technologies. “The significance of this growth shows that not
only does X-Guide surgical navigation
have a place in today’s dental implant
practice, but that the technology is
utilized regularly to improve patient
care.”
The X-Guide system is being used
in more than 40 countries to offer
patients a minimally invasive option
for dental implant surgeries. It is
designed to assist dental surgeons on
a broad range of clinical implant procedures, from a single tooth replacement to full-arch mouth reconstruction.
Dental implants can be navigated
more precisely with the X-Guide system, which plays a key role in the
functional outcome of the procedure,
as well as facilitating more immediate esthetic and restorative success,
according to the company. The benefits of more accurate placement to
both the surgeon and the patient are
profound, the company said.
The X-Guide Dynamic 3D Navigation system allows the surgeon to
digitally plan the ideal treatment and
then provides turn-by-turn guidance
of the handpiece to that target during
live surgery — like GPS for the dental
drill, the company said.
Dentists around the world embrace advanced surgical navigation technology. X-Nav Technologies has received FDA 510(k)
clearance to expand the use of X-Guide surgical navigation for endodontic access procedures, apicoectomies and calcified
canals. (Photos/Provided by X-Nav Technologies)

“It is exciting to see the global
dental community embrace X-Guide
Dynamic 3D Navigation so enthusiastically over the past few years,”
Marandola said. “We look forward to
continuing the momentum by driving
innovative and useful advancements
to the technology that will further
enhance patient care and doctor productivity.”
