Straumann launches new Emdogain package at Europerio 7
With the new package size of its
enamel matrix derivative (EMD)
Emdogain, implant and restorative solutions provider Straumann has launched a cost-effective treatment option for dental
professionals at Europerio 7 in
Vienna. According to the Swiss
company, the Emdogain 015 package, launched on Thursday this
week, allows a broader use in clinical settings and can be used for
patients with smaller defects, as
well as patients subjected to bonegrafting procedures, who are sup-
posed to benefit from faster
wound healing and less pain and
swelling.

company said.
The new package contains five
syringes, each filled with 0.15 ml
of Emdogain. This will enable clinicians to select the right amount
of commercially available EMD
for use with the various bonegrafting materials (Bone Ceramic, autograft, allograft, bonederived xenograft, β-Tricalcium,
phosphate or bioactive glass),
thereby enhancing the patient’s

International experts adopt consensus paper
on professional dental cleaning
Launched in 1997, Straumann
Emdogain contains a complex of
proteins that play a key role in the
development of tooth-supporting
tissues. These proteins, termed
enamel matrix proteins, self-assemble to create a matrix and promote the formation of cementum
on the root of the developing
tooth, thus providing a foundation for all necessary tissues associated with true functional attachment of tooth-supporting tissues in the teeth and jaws.
The effects and benefits of the
product have been documented
in over 400 clinical publications
for indications such as intra-bony,
furcation and recession defects.
AD
On Thursday, an international
committee came together at
Europerio 7 for the second consensus conference aimed at the adoption of a consensus paper on professional dental cleaning and AirFlow Technology.
Based on the results of the first
consensus conference held in
Nyon, France, in early summer
2010, new knowledge derived
from clinical studies conducted in
the last two years was to be discussed in Vienna. In a discussion
moderated by Dr Klaus-Dieter
Bastendorf from Germany, participants exchanged information
about the latest findings on professional dental cleaning and AirFlow Technology.
A number of new studies have
revealed new insights into the clinical effectiveness of Air-Flow Technology over the past two years.

During Europerio 7, a newly selected team of international experts aimed to come to an evidence-based consensus on the latest scientific research on the effectiveness of Air-Flow Technology.
During a lively and focused
round of talks, academics, dental
practitioners and dental hygienists
from Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and the USA discussed the efficiency both from scientific and
practice-oriented perspectives.
Participants from the scientific
community were Prof. Thomas
Flemmig, Prof. Jan Wennström,
Prof. Anton Sculean, Prof. Ursula
Platzer, Prof. Petra Schmage, Dr
Clemens Walter and Dr Neha Dixit.
Besides Dr Klaus-Dieter Bastendorf, Prof. Johannes Einwag also
contributed significantly to the discussion. Additional professional
perspectives were offered by dental hygienists Brigitte Schöneich,
Carmen Lanoway, Bernita Bush
and Cornelia Jäggi, the President of
Swiss Dental Hygienists.
Considering four key criteria,
participants found that the clinical efficiency of Airflow Technology in the removal of sub-gingival
biofilm is similar to that of hand
curettes. In view of efficacy and
patient acceptance, this method
offers plenty of advantages over

Dr Christian Becker, Head of
Business Development at EMS,
drew a positive conclusion: “I am
glad that we were able to bring
all these different independent
groups together at one table. After
having evaluated the newest studies, we quickly reached an agreement on the method of air polishing. The participants agreed that
this is an effective way of removing
sub-gingival biofilm and offers advantages over other methods with
regard to efficacy and acceptance.”
According to Becker, the consensus paper will soon be made
available.

“Good product technology enhances compliance
and ensures therapy success”
An interview with Dr Joerg Strate, Philips Oral Healthcare
Worldwide, hundreds of millions of people suffer from periodontal disease. According to the
latest studies, two-thirds of all periodontal problems remain untreated. An interview with the
Vice-President of Clinical Research and Scientific Affairs at
Philips Oral Healthcare, Dr Joerg
Strate, about at-home measures
like the company’s Sonicare
toothbrushes.
How is it possible for patients
with periodontal problems to
improve their oral hygiene
sustainably?
Dr Joerg Strate: Good product technology enhances compliance and ensures therapy success. Electric toothbrushes no-
tably improve oral hygiene on
smooth surfaces while being
clearly less demanding in terms
of usability.
What are the consequences of
the incorrect toothbrushing
techniques?
Sonicare toothbrushes from
Philips offer a gentle cleaning
process and require lower contact pressure than manual toothbrushes, for example. A sonic
toothbrush cannot vibrate very
well when used with excessive
pressure and this reduces sideeffects. Several studies have
shown that sonic and oscillating/rotating technology removes
bacterial plaque effectively and
safely.
What are the day-to-day experiences in dental practices?
What factors influence toothbrush recommendations for
patients with periodontal
problems?
Generally speaking, individual demonstrations and training
have been shown to be the most
effective. A sonic toothbrush is
recommended for patients with
periodontal problems or implants, in particular. The patient
can’t make that many mistakes,
which reduces the risk of injury.
However, oscillating/rotating
toothbrushes have to be used
with the right technique. Depending on the model, improper
use by patients, for example excessive brushing pressure, can
Bicon short implants
and metal-free prostheses
Offering the worldwide dental
community a comprehensive solution since 1985, Bicon’s dental
implant system has not only
passed the test of time, but has
also kept pace with the latest in
implant dentistry. According to
the company, Bicon implants offer flexibility to dentists even in
the most challenging of clinical
situations.
Bicon recently launched innovative solutions for metal-free
restorations that facilitate longterm solutions with versatility.
The short length of the implants allows clinicians to avoid
vital structures with confidence,
and may eliminate the need for
grafting procedures. Combined
with metal-free restorations, they
result in significantly less chair
time, simplified treatment and reduced costs, the company said.
For more details about SHORT
implants and metal-free prostheses, visit the Bicon booth at
Europerio 7.

cause long-term damage to dental tissue or
gingival injury. In my
opinion, sonic toothbrushes simply do
not offer that many
opportunities for improper use. There is
no need for a special
technique and even a
less motivated patient can get good results without side-effects. Actually, we have access to medical
publications that show some
very promising results concerning the Sonicare FlexCare.
Interproximal spaces are a significant challenge for proper
oral hygiene. These areas,
about 40 per cent of all tooth
surfaces, are almost impossible to clean with a toothbrush
only. Moreover, that’s where
periodontal problems mostly
arise. Do oral irrigators help
with interproximal cleaning?
Very little. Oral irrigators simply do not remove the sticky bacterial plaque adhering to tooth
surfaces. I don’t know how effective they are for patients with periodontitis though. A huge disadvantage of oral irrigators is low
compliance—their use is timeconsuming and cumbersome.
The USA is the country with
the highest percentage of dental floss users. Yet, only 30 per
cent of the population floss
regularly. How has Philips responded to this?
With a completely new technology for interproximal cleaning. With the AirFloss and its
patented microburst technology,
Philips has provided clinically
validated solutions to two of the
biggest challenges of dental floss:
the AirFloss can be used without
the less attractive accompanying
circumstances of flossing and a
simple one-finger control replaces the challenging technique
you need for effective manual
flossing. The AirFloss was especially developed for all those
countless patients who don’t yet
do any interproximal cleaning at
all.
Is there a danger of patients
accidentally flushing bacteria
into the gingival pockets
when using microburst technology?
First of all, the design of the
nozzle and especially the guidance tip make it highly unlikely
for the product to be placed in an
apical direction into a gum
pocket (please take a look at the
YouTube demonstration of the
AirFloss for reference: www.
youtube.com/watch?v=kSUN
RVY-24E). Of course, a small
amount of the air–water mixture
may be sprayed into such an area,
but this mainly results in a flushing rather than a compacting effect.
Does microburst technology
also work with teeth that have
already been damaged by
periodontitis and with wide
interproximal spaces?
Very wide interproximal
spaces do not provide the funnel
effect that adds to the efficiency
of microburst technology.
What are the effects of a highpressure spray on inflamed
gums?
A healthy gingiva will show
no tendency to bleed during the
use of the AirFloss. An inflamed
gingiva may bleed—as it does
with other mechanical cleaning
processes.
What additives (e.g. mouth
rinses) can also be used with
the AirFloss system?
Our current recommendations only refer to use with water,
but all material requirements
are suited for use with common
mouth rinses.
Thank you for the interview.

“Orthodontic tooth movement is based
on sterile inflammation”
With more people presenting
to dental practices with symptoms of periodontitis, clinical
challenges are increasing in almost all dental specialties including orthodontics. today international spoke with congress presenter Dr Frank Weiland from
Austria about the effects of periodontal disease on orthodontic
treatment and vice versa.
today international: Periodontal disease and orthodontics
have a complex interrelationship. What new insights have
been obtained in the last three
years?
Dr Frank Weiland: Each intervention causes damage, which
is a known fact and also true for
orthodontics. Clinicians have to
reckon with some attachment
loss and recession down to tenths
of a millimetre with orthodontic
treatment. The most significant
danger comes from (additional)
plaque-induced infection, that is
why orthodontic devices should
be designed in a way that they can
be cleaned thoroughly by the patient (i.e. no bands, simple biomechanics and no elastic ligatures).
Computer-supported calculations have also revealed new
knowledge about the changed biomechanical requirements and
the use of the treatment device in
relation to the amount of force and
the moment-to-force ratio.
What is the likelihood nowadays that a patient with orthodontic problems also has periodontal disease?
Since an increasing number of
adults ask for orthodontic treat-
ment, we as orthodontists are
automatically confronted with
more patients suffering from
symptoms of periodontal disease. It is not rare that its clinical
effects, such as tooth migration,
are the main reason for orthodontic corrections. Periodontal problems can be of a chronic nature,
but, on the other hand, be rapidly
progressive and lead to tooth loss
at a relatively young age. The
point here is that orthodontic
tooth movement is based on sterile inflammation. If you add an
additional bacteria-induced inflammation, this can result in significant attachment loss.
Orthodontic correction can
also have a negative effect on
periodontal status. When
should clinicians desist from
treatment?

As I mentioned before, the
most important contra-indication is periodontal tissue that is
not clinically free of inflammation. With support from the dentist, orthodontist and periodontist, patients should be able to
maintain conditions that are free
of inflammation.
Periodontitis can also break
out during orthodontic treatment. What are the clinical
symptoms that orthodontists
should be aware of?
The common alarm signals, including gum bleeding, gingival
recession, loss of papillae and
clinical signs of inflammation
such as bleeding on probing.
What role does the age of the
patient play?
Age is only a relative factor. It
is actually more about the aggression of the periodontal disease and the extent of deterioration.
Orthodontists are recommended to consult a general
dentist or periodontist prior
to treatment. Is this common
practice?
I am only able to speak here
for my own practice. In many
cases, patients who present for
the first time already have the respective documentation from
their general dentists and periodontists. Prior to treatment of
adult patients, a basic periodontal evaluation (BPE) and, if
needed, a pretreatment in our
practice, or by the dentist and in
critical situations by a periodontist is performed. Orthodontic
treatment does not begin until
these professionals have given
the green light. Subsequently,
regular control visits are an absolute necessity.

Is there any knowledge about
whether and which treatment
methods are able to halt the
progression of periodontal
disease?
A clear relation between tooth
displacement and periodontal
problems has been described.
Significantly more pathogenic
bacteria are found in crowded
areas than in straight teeth. Of
course, dental hygiene measures
are also easier to perform in
straight teeth than in a case of distinct crowding. It has been observed that former orthodontic
patients had better oral health after correction than similar subjects whose teeth were not corrected, which is explained by
routine checks and patient education.
Owing to attachment loss,
tooth movements may occur
that have a negative effect on future stability. An example of this
is the protrusion of the upper incisors, which can cause an interposition of the lips with a leverage effect on the incisors. Clinical prospects for these teeth
are significantly improved by
moving them to a functional and
aesthetically pleasing position.
This is also valid for jiggling in
the presence of periodontal inflammation, which could also
lead to significant attachment
loss.
Should the evaluation and
monitoring of periodontal disease generally form part of orthodontic treatment?
No doubt. Regardless of the
patient’s age, orthodontic treatment should never be performed
if the patient’s oral health is insufficient. From my point of view,
a check of the periodontal status,
as recommended by the Austrian
Society of Periodontology, as well
as periodontal therapy of adult
patients should be considered
prior to orthodontic measures.
Risk patients should be monitored at least every three months
by the periodontist. Even after orthodontic treatment has been
stopped, long-term success can
only be achieved when the two
‘R’ (Retention and Recall) are
taken into account.

blades, which allow for a smaller initial osteotomy.
In addition to the
drilling blades on the
tip of the implant, reverse cutting
flutes make it possible for clinicians who are experienced with
NobelActive implants to adjust
the implant position in order to optimize restorative orientation,
which is particularly useful in the
extraction sites common in singletooth anterior restorations.
Dr Scott MacLean of Halifax,
Nova Scotia, finds NobelActive 3.0
to be the perfect complement to
the earlier, larger diameter
NobelActive implants that he has
used for years. “The NobelActive
3.0 is a great implant to use in
tight, aesthetically demanding areas of the arch. Like the others in
the NobelActive family, it provides excellent results due to its
principles of design. The platform
shift with conical connection
maintains a solid, tight connection that is easy to restore. The
thread dimensions and design
make it the perfect implant for
placement in upper lateral and
lower incisors, and it feels very familiar to place and restore.”
According to Nobel Biocare, respect for bone as a living tissue is
key to all the company’s research
and development with Nobel
Active 3.0 being no exception.
Thanks to its expanding tapered
implant body, with double-helix
thread design, NobelActive 3.0
compresses bone gradually, minimizing trauma and providing
high initial stability even in compromised bone situations.
Built-in platform shifting is
also part of the design. This feature provides a very palpable
benefit to the patient. It makes it
possible for the clinician to ensure maximum soft tissue volume for natural-looking aesthetics. What’s more, an internal conical connection with hexagonal
interlocking offers a tight seal
and secure positioning of the
abutment.
According to Dr Philippe
Russe of Reims, France, Nobel
Active 3.0 has become his implant of choice for excellent aesthetics in challenging singletooth anterior situations. “The
extra bony volume around the implant supports longer papillaes,
improving the esthetic outcome
of usually difficult cases. With its
well-known excellent initial stability, platform shifting and conical connection, the new Nobel
Active 3.0 has everything you
need in a small diameter implant
specially designed for narrow anterior spaces.”
