ContinuingfromtodayuntilSat- urday, over 100 experts from around the globe will share the lat- est information and their expert knowledge about a wide range of topicsandissuesinthefieldofden- tal implantology and periodontol- ogy. This morning started off with a presentation on surgical tech- niques, implant placement timing andalternativeapproachestoperi- odontal treatment instrumenta- tion. It will also see the world pre- miere of a new film demonstrating the relationship between oral and systemic health, which is sup- ported by the Sunstar Foundation and will complement the Cell-to- Cell Communications saga by Quintessence Publishing. Leading companies in the field of dentistry have also announced thattheywillshowcasetheirlatest solutions and products at the event. Among these are a couple of new products, such as a new im- plant from MIS in Israel that prom- ises immediate biological benefits for better treatment outcomes. Ac- cording to the Israeli implant solu- tionsprovider,theV3isamulti-use implant that is suitable for a wide range of surgical scenarios and is ideal in anterior regions, as well as in regions where space and bone may be limited and good aesthetic outcomes are essential. Visitors will have the opportu- nitytogethands-onexposuretothe latest solutions in dentistry by means of a number of sponsored sessions featuring clinical experts and researchers.

For periodontal treatment, modernEr:YAGlasershaveproven to not only eliminate inflamed tissue, but also to preclude the risk of bacteraemia by efficiently fighting resident bacteria. At the last EuroPerio in Vienna, the Japanese Morita Group already demonstrated how this important feature can be used for the effec- tive treatment of peri-implant le- sions. Its new AdvErL Evo, which is also on display in London at EuroPerio8atbooth23,nowcovers cases of class-D in comparison to conservative procedures that cur- rently only allow successful peri- implantitis treatment up to CIST class-C. Presenting its latest Er:YAG laser as a valid treatment option, the company held a satellite sym- posium at EuroPerio8 yesterday, where dentist Dr Michael R. Nor- ton from London focused on the challenges and issues of a peri- implant treatment. Among other things, he discussed whether peri- implantitis was a condition of the primary infective nature of the mouth or an opportunistic second- ary infection subsequent to bone loss that is caused by other etiolo- gies. Norton said that a significant advantage of the laser treatment is thatithelpsincreasethevolumeof water molecules up to 800—1,000 times. The subsequent micro ex- plosions not only disinfect the im- plant surface, but also have a ster- ilising effect, which allows surface debridement without showering the surrounding area with small particles of titanium, which would occur when titanium wire brushes are used. In a second lecture, the Direc- tor of the Department of Periodon- tology at the University of Bern, Prof. Anton Sculean, underlined the key positive aspects that laser technology offers for the treat- ment of inflammation of the gums or implant site. According to the professor, Morita’s third genera- tion Er:YAG laser allows a gentle, yet precise intervention that is minimally invasive, silent, pain- less and without significant vibra- tionorproductionofheat.Sculean said that these qualities make it suitable for conservative soft and hard tissue treatments, including the removal of supra- or sub-gingi- val calculus, inflamed and ne- crotic tissue in gingival pockets and for the treatment of abscesses or granulomas. Visitors of EuroPerio8 will be abletotesttheprecisionandexpe- rience the handling of the AdvErL Evo over the course of the next three days during the ever-popu- lar “Egg-tion” sessions at Morita’s booth. During these sessions, visi- tors are invited to engrave a smi- ley face on the shell of a raw egg with the laser. At the booth they can also find out more informa- tion about the company’s other products and activities.
