35Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | January - February 2014 implant tribune “So many features in Bicon make it a unique implant” By Dental Tribune Middle East D UBAI, UAE: Dr. Himd- hani, PhD., M.Sc.,B.D.S. Maxillofacial Surgeon & Oral Implantologist Paris VII, France Clinical director of French center for Dental Implants. Since 1980, Dr. Al Himdani started practicing as Oral Implantologist in one of the most famous hospitals in Paris ”Cochin Hospital”, he was one of the founders of the first University Diploma “MSc. Oral Implantology” in France & Europe. In 2002, Dr. Al Him- dani arrived in the Emirates as a Consultant Implantolo- gist & Maxillo-Facial Surgeon in Al Zahrah Private Hospital and in 2003 he established his own clinic “ French Center for Dental Implant” where actu- ally practiced exclusively his speciality as Oral Implantolo- gist. DTME: When was the first time you started using Bicon? Prof. K. Al-Himdani: About 6 years ago when my friend a Dr. M. Al Jabbawi from U.K. “Whom I would like to thank him” introduced it to me and from that time Bicon solved approximately 90% of prob- lems that I faced with all other implant system which I have used during my 30 years in this field. What makes Bicon different from other implant systems? So many features in Bicon make it a unique implant starting from; 1. Implant macro geometry; * Its Platform switch & Slop- ping shoulder which enhanc- es hard & soft tissue growth improving the quality of bio- logical width and so the final Esthetic outcome. * Its Plateau design which increases its surface area to 30% & improving the quality of bone regeneration around the implant, so behind these 2 features we find the huge success of its short implant & in Immediate placement after tooth extraction with Compro- mise bone to avoid the trau- matic & caustic bone grafting procedures. * Its lock taper Implant Abut- ment Connection (1.5) which creates a completely hermetic sealed free from any bacterial infiltration which means no future bone pocket or bone resorbtion, so we can place the implant 2mm subcrestally to obtain best long life Esthet- ic outcome. 2. Surgical Kit which gives the ability for Manual Bone Manipulation “Splitting & Expanding” and the collec- tion of precious Autogenious Bone, maneuvers which help to overcome “to a certain lim- it” ridge deficiency avoiding so bone grafting procedures. Beside that the 50 rpm of mo- torized surgical procedure decreases, if not eliminate the chance of bone damage dur- ing host preparation. 3. Prosthetic restoration with its unique Implant Abutment Connection especially with the absence of internal screw has advantage regarding crown’s reparations without traumatizing the implant and oral tissues. On top of that, the ability of the use of Integrated Abutment Crown to overcome the aesthetic result of the use of screw retained crown res- toration in case of palatal ori- ented implant placement. What is your advise for Dental Colleges? Implant practice is very excit- ing field from all points of view “Functional, Esthetic, Healthy, …” and it seems to be easily achieved, but to obtain a du- rable successful result needs a proper implant selection with good understanding of patient risk factors which are suscep- tible to compromise our final result.
