Nobel Biocare brings latest innovations to Lisbon
The Mucointegration concept, edentulism and a new implant system in focus at EAO.
„ This year, Nobel Biocare opened a
new chapter for implant dentistry
with the launch of new surfaces and
the introduction of the new Nobel
Biocare N1 implant system. Visitors
to the EAO have the opportunity on
Friday, 27 September, to view these
groundbreaking innovations and discover more about them during an engaging symposium and through interactive hands-on sessions.
Sharing their expertise at the industry symposium will be Dr Tristan
Staas and Prof. Gabor Tepper, two of
the leading implant clinicians in
Europe. They will provide exclusive
insights into how Nobel Biocare N1 is
set up to revolutionise patient care.
In order to address some of the shortcomings of current protocols, the
recently introduced system was
designed from the ground up according to biological principles and keeping patient needs in mind. Going beyond this new implant design, Nobel
Biocare N1 is also redefining site
preparation with the introduction
of the OsseoShaper, an innovative
alternative to conventional drilling
protocols. Experiences from over
24 months of clinical evaluations of
the Nobel Biocare N1 concept with
an early ambassador group have already indicated promising results in
terms of the method’s effectiveness.
Embodying the Mucointegration
concept, Nobel Biocare’s Xeal and

During the symposium, Staas and
Tepper will be joined by the worldrenowned clinician Dr Paulo Maló
from Portugal, who will demonstrate
how the NobelPro Line helps clinicians to master even the most challenging cases and treat more edentulous patients. The Nobel Biocaresponsored symposium will take place
on 27 September from 17:15 to 19:15
in the main auditorium of the Lisbon
Congress Centre. Attendance is free
with registration for the congress, and
visitors are invited to come early to secure their seats.
Attendees interested in developing their practices further can take
part in two hands-on sessions held by
Nobel Biocare on Friday. In addition
to a morning session on immediate
restorations led by Staas, Tepper will
demonstrate in the afternoon how to
achieve optimal primary stability for
immediate restorations in all bone
densities through different drill protocols.
Those who wish to attend the
workshops are invited to visit the
Nobel Biocare booth at EAO 2019 to
find out whether seats are still available.

to Alcoforado and Dr Susana
Noronha, co-chair of the congress,
who spoke about what they hoped to
achieve under this year’s theme of
“The bridge to the future”.
Alcoforado thanked the members of the EAO congress and scientific committees, stating, “It is only
through their tireless work that we
can have such a large attendance
from such a wide range of countries”. Over 4,000 attendees overall
from more than 80 countries are expected to attend the congress, according to a press release from the
EAO.
“This is the first time the scientific meeting is taking place in Lisbon, making it an extra special occasion,” said Noronha. “I sincerely hope
that this meeting exceeds your expectations and that you all have a
fantastic congress.” 

“Using cell therapy for bone regeneration is promising”
An interview with Prof. Kamal Mustafa, University of Bergen, by Franziska Beier, DTI.
„ Prof. Kamal Mustafa from the Department of Clinical Dentistry at the
University of Bergen in Norway is
sponsoring and leading, together
with Dr Cecilie Gjerde (University of
Bergen) and Prof. Mariano Sanz (Complutense University of Madrid), a
multicentre randomised controlled
clinical trial (RCT) on stem cell bone
building. This research is part of the
European MAXIBONE project, which
is investigating whether new jawbone prior to placement of dental implants can be grown with stem cell
technology. At EAO 2019, Mustafa
presented his research group’s work
in a session that covered the topic of
“New avenues in implant dentistry”.
He shared insights into MAXIBONE
with Dental Tribune International.
Prof. Mustafa, you gave a lecture
titled “Are stem cells the implants of
the future?” On what did you focus
during your presentation?
The potential and value of stem
cell-based therapies were explored in
the early 1990s when therapeutically
relevant tissue-supportive cells such as
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were
applied for the regeneration of skeletal
tissue. This new approach using cell
therapy for bone regeneration is promising and could be used as an alternative for the classic gold standard treatment with bone grafts. The promising
data from a recent clinical trial in
11 patients in Bergen, as part of the
EU REBORNE project, has paved the
way for improved, well-designed trials
utilising stem cells for mandible augmentation and alveolar reconstruction.
MAXIBONE began at the start of 2018
and will be completed in 2021. What
is the current status of the project?
MAXIBONE aims to create personalised bone regeneration by using

2

culture-expanded autologous bone
marrow stem cells and biomaterials.
The four-year project started with
European funding of € 6 million. The
large consortium is coordinated by
Prof. Pierre Layrolle from the University of Nantes in France and me and
gathers 12 partners from six European countries, including academic
and research institutes, cell therapy
units and companies, among them
the global leader of dental implants.
In the project, an RCT of 150 patients will compare the safety and efficacy of autologous cultured stem
cells and calcium phosphate biomaterials with autologous bone grafting in
alveolar bone augmentation prior to
dental implants. In the previous European project, REBORNE, the clinical
safety of this regenerative strategy
was demonstrated in 11 patients.
How does the process work exactly?
Do the stem cells have to be autologous?
Yes, autologous cells are harvested from bone marrow, expanded
and cultured for two weeks in two
cell manufacturing centres in Germany and France. Afterwards, they
are delivered to the eight clinical centres in five European countries and
implanted in patients in combination
with biomaterials. The procedure has
been reported in our recent publication by Gjerde et al. from 2018, which
was part of the EU REBORNE project.1
Is this stem cell treatment less invasive than the standard bone transplant?
The patients tolerated the treatment very well, as described and reported in the previously mentioned
study. The data generated from the
clinical trial demonstrated that bone

marrow stem cells expanded successfully in the laboratory and, combined with synthetic bone substitute
biomaterial in the patient to augment mandibular bone, induced significant new bone formation. The regenerated bone volume was adequate for dental implant installation.
Healing was uneventful. The patients were satisfied with the aesthetic and functional outcomes. No
side effects were observed.
Could this method of bone replacement be used for other areas of the
human body?
Yes, a good example of using the
method to repair long-bone defects
has been demonstrated and reported
in a study by Gómez-Barrena et al.
from 2018.2 This interventional cli-

nical trial was also part of the
REBORNE project and performed to
evaluate the safety and feasibility of
autologous expanded MSCs from
bone marrow associated with bioceramic (microporous biphasic calcium
phosphate granules; MBCP+, Biomatlante) scaffolds in patients with longbone delayed unions and non-unions
(after a minimum of three months
from acute fracture). No severe adverse events related to the bone marrow MSCs were reported. The construct of stem cells combined with
the biomaterial which was used in
our maxillofacial clinical trial was
surgically and successfully delivered
to the non-unions, and 26 of 28
treated patients were found to be radiologically healed at one year after
treatment.

Dr Homa Zadeh delivering his lecture in the
auditorium of the Lisbon Congress Centre.

You gave a lecture titled “Placing implants in the aesthetic zone”. On what
topics did you focus during your presentation?
My presentation focused on the
decision-making process as the most
important aspect of implant therapy in
the aesthetic zone. There are dozens of
decisions that have to be made that
can affect the outcome. The bases on
which those decisions are made were
the focus of my presentation.
What are the pros and cons of implants in the aesthetic zone, and what
are the specific challenges of placing
implants in the aesthetic zone?
Implant therapy in the aesthetic
zone is fraught with pitfalls, such
as the variability of healing of tooth
extraction sockets, as well as the
variability of peri-implant mucosal
changes. Implant installation is far
more challenging in the anterior maxilla compared with other oral sites,
whether implants are placed in extraction sockets or in healed sites. The combination of biological variability in outcomes, as well as technical challenges,
can increase the likelihood of a negative outcome. However, rather than
avoiding implants in the aesthetic zone
altogether, it is important for clinicians
to perform a thorough risk assessment
in order to understand the risk factors
and risk indicators that can influence
the outcome. Important risk factors
discussed included the alveolar bone
phenotype of the extraction sockets
(i.e. thin is less than 1 mm and thick
greater than 1 mm) and the mucosal
phenotype. Also, the 3D implant posi-

“We usually think of rehabilitation as the responsibility of the clinician”
An interview with Prof. Jocelyne Feine, McGill University, by Franziska Beier, DTI.
„ As the percentage of older people
in the population is growing, the
number of elderly people depending
on dental implants is increasing.
Dental Tribune International spoke
with Prof. Jocelyne Feine from the
Faculty of Dentistry at McGill University in Montreal in Canada about
the challenges of implant procedures in older people and how patients can contribute to the healing
process. On 26 September, Feine
spoke about the topic at the EAO
2019 congress.
Prof. Feine, you gave a lecture on
identifying the best treatment op-

tions for older patients. On what topics did you focus during your presentation?
I shared with the audience the
factors that edentate older patients
consider to be important regarding
their prostheses. With that information, consideration of the most appropriate types of prostheses and number of implants was discussed.
Why is implant treatment in elderly
patients possibly more challenging?
Elderly adults tend to have many
chronic conditions and often take numerous medications that can interfere with the osseointegration pro-

cess. They may also have physical restrictions that may make maintenance of oral hygiene difficult.
How can elderly patients who
have received dental implants contribute to the rehabilitation process?
This is an interesting question,
since we usually think of rehabilitation as the responsibility of the clinician. However, unless the patient is
motivated and able to maintain his or
her oral hygiene, treatment will fail.
Thus, it is important for clinicians to
assess their older patients’ motivation, as well as their ability to clean
their mouths, the abutments, etc.

New hydrogel shows promise
in dental and craniofacial tissue engineering
„ Researchers from the University of
California, Los Angeles School of Dentistry have developed a new hydrogel
that shows high porosity and effectiveness in promoting tissue repair
and regeneration. The study findings
suggest that the next generation of
hydrogel systems could greatly improve current biomaterial-based therapeutics to repair bone defects in the
near future.
Hydrogels are biomaterials that
are made up of a 3D network of polymer chains. Owing to the network’s
ability to absorb water and its structural similarities to living tissue, it
can be used to deliver cells to defective areas to regenerate lost tissue.
However, the small pore size of hydrogels limits the survival of the transplanted cells, their expansion and
new tissue formation, making this
less than ideal for regenerating tissue.

Injectable combinations of living
cells and bioactive molecules using
hydrogels would be a preferred medical application to treat unhealthy or
damaged areas of the body rather
than more invasive surgery.

Future research is planned to investigate how the physical properties
of nanocomposite hydrogels affect
the migration of cells and their function, as well as the formation of blood
vessels.

“Our nanocomposite hydrogel
system will be useful for many applications, including therapeutic delivery, cell carriers, and dental and craniofacial tissue engineering,” concluded Lee.

The study, titled “Microporous
methacrylated glycol chitosan-montmorillonite nanocomposite hydrogel
for bone tissue engineering”, was
published in Nature Communications.

One material that has been of interest in the field of biomaterials is
naturally occurring mineral clay. It
has become an ideal additive to medical products and has no reported
negative effects. It has been shown to
be biocompatible and is readily available.
Clay is structured in layers and its
surface has a negative charge. This
unique layered structure and charge
were important to the research team,
as the hydrogel they used had a positive charge. When the hydrogel was
inserted into the clay layers through
the process of intercalation chemistry,
the end result was a clay-enhanced hydrogel with a much more porous structure, improving bone formation.
Once the researchers had produced the clay-enhanced hydrogel,
they used the process of photoinduction to turn their new biomaterial into
a gel, which would make it easier for it
to be injected into the mouse model.
The mouse model had a nonhealing
skull defect into which the researchers
injected the clay-enhanced hydrogel.
After six weeks, they found that the
model showed significant bone healing
through its own naturally occurring
stem cell migration and growth.
When asked by Dental Tribune
International what the study results
mean for dentistry and, specifically,
for implantology, lead author Dr Min
Lee, Professor of Biomaterials Science at the university answered:
“This research will help us develop
the next generation of hydrogel systems with high porosity for better
bone repair and could greatly improve current bone graft materials.”

“Antibiotics are often overprescribed in an arbitrary manner
and mostly unnecessarily in dentistry”
An interview with Dr Ismael Khouly, New York University, by Franziska Beier, DTI.
„ The use of antibiotics remains a
controversial topic. A recent study1
investigated the necessity of antibiotics for the prevention of dental implant infections. Lead author Dr Is© Ismael Khouly

mael Khouly, Associate Director of
Periodontology and Implant Dentistry at Bluestone Center for Clinical Research at the New York University College of Dentistry in the

US and his colleagues found that
the prophylactic use of antibiotics
has no influence on the prevalence
of post-surgical dental implant complications in patients who are
healthy overall. Khouly was so kind
as to answer DTI’s questions on the
topic.
Dr Khouly, why did you focus on this
topic for your study1?
We decided to focus our systematic review on this topic because of
the absence of current clinical guidelines for antibiotic prophylaxis in
dental implant placement procedures, the misuse and overuse of antibiotics, and the risks associated
with their prescription.
While reviewing the medical literature, I noticed that existing guidelines on antibiotic prophylaxis in surgery, such as hip and knee arthroplasty, are often based on postoperative infection. Therefore, we decided
to focus our systematic review on antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent surgical wound infection in dental implant
surgeries rather than to prevent implant failure only.

Furthermore, we investigated
whether any specific antibiotic regimens with regard to antibiotic compound, dosage and dosing schedule
were justified for specific evidence-based clinical guidelines. Our
goal was to obtain more information
and help clinicians to identify when
to use antibiotics, responsibly, in dental implant placement procedures, to
identify those clinical situations
where antibiotics are recommended,
as well as to choose the right antibiotic at the right dose and for the right
duration.
Would you say that antibiotics are
generally prescribed too often?
Unfortunately, antibiotics are often overprescribed in an arbitrary
manner and mostly unnecessarily in
dentistry, according to a recent study
published in JAMA Network Open.2
This is important because around
10 % of the antibiotics used in the US
are prescribed by dentists. Therefore,
we must develop clinical guidelines
for the rational use of antibiotics
based on evidence and reduce the
misuse of antibiotics.

How can dentists be made aware of
this situation?
Every clinician involved in dental implant surgery procedures
should take care not to overlook confounding variables while prescribing
antibiotics in dental implant placement surgeries. Clinicians should understand that postoperative complications in implant dentistry, such as
postoperative infection and implant
failure, are most likely multifactorial
and involve different risk factors
which could be related to the clinician, the environment or the patient.
Moreover, early implant failure may
be caused by reasons other than postoperative infection, such as confounders from the surgical procedure as
stated in a study by the International
Team for Implantology Antibiotic
Study Group.3
What would you recommend to dentists regarding antibiotic prescriptions for future implant surgeries?
Bearing in mind the limitations of
our systematic review, it seems that
antibiotic prophylaxis may not prevent postoperative infections after

dental implant placement procedures. However, and as stated in our
study, “It is our recommendation that
until such evidence becomes available, clinicians evaluate the benefits
(or lack thereof) of antibiotic prophylaxis for each patient given medical
history and surgical complexity and
seriously consider results of the present paper for overall healthy patients,
as well as risks associated with administration of antibiotics.”1

Eggshells may help heal teeth and bones
„ Crushed or pulverised eggshells
have many practical uses. They can
be used as a natural calcium supplement, a coffee sweetener, a treatment
for minor skin irritations and a nontoxic abrasive cleaner, or for garden
compost and pest control. Recently,
researchers also investigated the use
of eggshells as material for bone
grafts and for regenerating cartilage,
teeth and tendons.
The study, led by Dr Gulden
Camci-Unal of the Department of
Chemical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, found
an innovative use for powdered eggshells—which are composed mainly of
calcium carbonate crystals—for engineering bone tissue that could lead to

improved results for bone repair and
healing. The researchers used microscopic eggshell particles to reinforce
gelatin-based hydrogels, which then

served as stable 3D scaffolds for
growing osteoblasts.
Camci-Unal said that this technique can be applied to treat and re-

pair bones in patients who have suffered injuries due to aging or cancer
and other diseases, as well as those

eggshell particles in a hydrogel matrix for bone repair,” noted CamciUnal. “We have already filed a patent application for it earlier this
year. We are very excited about our
results, and we anticipate a lot of impactful applications of our invention.”
The study, titled “Eggshell particle-reinforced hydrogels for bone tissue engineering: An orthogonal approach”, was published in Biomaterials Science. 

Eggshells could play a role in bone grafting and other medical procedures.

New research could help to tackle tooth loss and regeneration
„ New research has shed light on
the mechanism behind the formation
of the periodontal ligament. The researchers found that the Notch signalling pathway, which is known to
be activated in stem cells and cancer,
is instrumental in periodontal ligament development. The findings will
help scientists work towards regenerating the tissues that support
teeth.
The study was conducted by researchers from the universities of
Plymouth and Geneva and focused
on rat and mouse molar teeth. They
found that lamin A, a cell nuclear
protein, is a direct target of the Notch
pathway. Lamin A is best known for
its mutated form progerin, which
causes the fatal “early ageing” disease called progeria syndrome. By

A recent study has examined regulation of periodontal ligament maturation at the molecular level.

28 th EAO Annual Scientific Meeting

uncovering the involvement of
lamin A in periodontal ligament formation, the scientists have gained a
better insight into how molecules
function during tissue regeneration
and how the process could be affected during disease.
“The periodontal ligament starts
to properly hold the tooth in the jawbone when a tooth breaks out and
becomes functional,” said co-author
Dr Bing Hu, Associate Professor in
Oral and Dental Health Research at
the University of Plymouth’s Peninsula Dental School. “Understanding
the mechanisms of how periodontal
ligaments develop and the molecules
that assist the tissue becoming mature is really important for our understanding of tissue regeneration
and repair,” he continued. “The next

steps are for us to see if and how the
molecules we have identified in this
study can be translated into a human-only model and, in turn, how
they are affected in both healthy and
diseased conditions.”
“We believe that our findings are
an important stepping stone to better dental treatments in situations
involving the periodontal ligament,
such as gum disease (periodontitis),
tooth restoration by dental implants
or orthodontic tooth movement,”
said co-author Dr Balázs Dénes, a
doctoral student at the University of
Geneva.
The study, titled “Notch coordinates periodontal ligament maturation through regulating lamin A”,
was published in the Journal of
Dental Research.

OSTEOBIOL GTO: A NEW STEP TOWARDS EXCELLENCE IN BIOMATERIALS
„ At the beginning of this year,
Tecnoss Dental, a leading biomaterials manufacturer based in Italy,
launched a new bone substitute
which combines innovative and advanced biotechnology, providing implantologists and periodontists with
a grafting solution with improved
surgical handling and predictable
regenerative results. OsteoBiol GTO
is endowed with all the characteristics of the ideal biomaterial for bone
regeneration. This pioneering product is able to promote the three biological processes which guide bone

regeneration: new bone apposition,
neo-angiogenesis and progressive
resorption of the scaffolding material, in order to promote adequate
new bone formation. Tecnoss is
showcasing GTO at this year’s EAO
congress.
GTO is a dual-phase biomaterial,
because its granules contain both
mineral and organic components.
The preservation of collagen within
the original xenogeneic cortical and
cancellous bone matrix induces a
physiological biological response by
the patient’s bone tissue. Collagen

has several significant advantages
for bone regeneration, all scientifically well documented: it stimulates
mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into osteoblasts, it is chemotactic, and it stimulates neo-angiogenesis and the absorption and subsequent release of growth factors.
All these important biological benefits have determined the scientific
rationale behind Tecnoss’s 20-yearlong research and development effort to produce a full range of collagenated dual-phase bone substitutes.

The development of GTO is the
last step of the process of continuous
improvement by Tecnoss, starting
with Apatos Cortical, a very osteoconductive but slowly resorbed scaffolding biomaterial. The first real
breakthrough innovation has been
Gen-Os, which is the precursor of all
the dual-phase products. The outstanding OsteoBiol mp3 then followed as the first pre-hydrated bone
substitute, packed in a ready-to-use
syringe. In 2016, OsteoBiol TSV Gel,
the thermosensitive viscosity resorbable gel which is used to create a

sticky bone mix with Gen-Os, was
launched. GTO combines all of the
company’s experience and expertise
in a unique product which is extremely versatile and achieves outstanding biological performance.
GTO has an ideal viscosity, which
means that it is very sticky and easily adaptable to the recipient site,
making it a great option for treating
various types of complex bone lesions. Its syringe formulation means
that it is ready to use and is directly
injectable into bone defects, making
its handling easy and quick. GTO has
been conceived as a universal biomaterial for use with OsteoBiol Evolution membranes or Lamina to protect
the graft. Its stickiness and stability
are useful properties for horizontal
augmentation procedures (e.g. twowall defects, where the crest is resorbed) and for socket preservation
cases with compromised buccal
plates. During sinus lifting, GTO can
be applied directly through the bony
window, helping the stabilisation of
implants in case of immediate placement. GTO can also be successfully
used to treat peri-implant lesions,
dehiscences and severe intra-bony
defects.
The product is already available
in all EU countries and in other European markets where the OsteoBiol
product line is distributed. For further information, visit www.osteobiol.com/contact.

AESTHETICS REIMAGINED WITH INVERTA IMPLANT
„ The INVERTA implant represents
the latest breakthrough technology
from Southern Implants and is designed for optimising aesthetics in
maxillary anterior extraction socket
sites. At EAO 2019, the company is
showcasing its newest product.
The INVERTA implant features
a novel Body-Shift design that addresses challenges many clinicians
face with immediate anterior implant procedures. The innovative
design of the inverted coronal segment of the implant allows for a
chamber for bone growth to be created, thereby enhancing the ability
to obtain natural-looking aesthetics.
The wider apical portion allows the
implant to achieve the primary stability critical in immediate placement.
INVERTA also incorporates
proven features from Southern Implants’ other implant product lines,
such as its SInergy Surface with
decades of clinical research and
high-strength Grade 4 pure titanium,
which provides exceptional fatigue
strength. The new implant is available with the popular deep conical internal and external hex connections.
For treatment flexibility, INVERTA is
available in a straight configuration

CLARONAV PRESENTS STATE-OF-THE-ART NAVIGATION FOR DAILY PRACTICE AT EAO 2019
„ Similarly to the way in which a
GPS system guides a driver, Navident by ClaroNav guides clinicians
by using the CBCT image as a map. It
offers surgeons an easy-to-use, accurate, highly portable and affordable
means of planning restorations and
implant placements.
With Navident 2, clinicians will
no longer need to do a special extra
scan. They can use the diagnostic
scan already available for the patient. The stress of stent making is
also gone because a stent is no longer
required. Trace and Place (TaP) is
a game-changing development for
dynamic navigation. With TaP, the
Navident workflow is streamlined, efficient, user-friendly and seamlessly
integrated into the daily practice.
“Trace and Place is a real tipping
point for dynamic navigation guidance,” said user Dr George Mandelaris, a periodontist from Chicago in
the US. “It has streamlined and simplified the workflow in both the diagnostic and surgical phases to allow state-of-the-art technology to be
an everyday component of my surgical implant practice. I cannot imagine going back!”
Implantology specialists who
have used Navident 2.0 experienced negligible operator stress, improved time efficiency and an increase in patient acceptance. The

Belém Tower
• Where: Avenida Brasília
• Opening hours:
Tuesday–Sunday 10:00–18:30
This Lisbon landmark, built in
the sixteenth century on the northern bank of the Tagus river, served as

a fortress and ceremonial gateway to
Lisbon.
It was built during the height of
the Portuguese Renaissance and is a
prominent example of the Portuguese Manueline style but also incorporates hints of other architectural
styles. Thus, both the interior and ex-

terior of the tower offer much to explore and appreciate.
Since 1983, the tower has been a
UNESCO World Heritage Site, along
with the Jerónimos Monastery. It is
often portrayed as a symbol of Europe’s Age of Discovery and as a
metonym for Portugal or Lisbon.

Santa Casa Alfama is a music festival that celebrates authentic and
traditional Portuguese music. For
