Through two profession-specific blogs hosted on the platform, the company further seeks to answer specific user questions and foster a lively exchange within the dental com- munity. “The main focus of the blog is the readers’ benefit—both for daily work as well as fundamental questions, for example good labo- ratory or dental office strategies. Fascinatingly presented and with a wide variety of topics, the con- tributions are supplemented on a weekly basis,” said Nicole van Oers, Communications Director at Ivoclar Vivadent. The topics addressed in the respective blogs cover different areas of dentistry, such as aes- thetics, digital development and materials, and often provide ad- ditional content, including down- loads of scientific publications and explanatory videos. In its present form, the plat- form has been online since Sep- tember 2016. The blogs are pub- lished in five languages (English, German, French, Italian and Spanish) and can be assessed at blog.ivoclarvivadent.com. Users who subscribe to the free blog news- letter will be informed as soon as new posts are available, the company stated. Aiming to establish a lively online community, Ivoclar Vivadent has launched two new blogs—one for dental technicians and one for dentists. Ivoclar introduces new dental platform By DTI BÜRMOOS, Austria: With the ex- clusive integration of the Osstell ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient) module, W&H is offering users a unique system for the measuring of implant stability. In combination with the company’s improved Implantmed functional- ities, the Osstell ISQ module ensures added certainty and reliability in the evaluation of the treatment success by offering the surgeon the ability to monitor the status of osseointegration continuously and document it, along with the torque. Determining the optimal time to load an implant is complex, since one must take into account all key parameters and the pa- tient’s risk factors. The retrofitta- ble Osstell ISQ module allows the surgeon to benefit from a unique system for measuring implant stability. While Implantmed’s in- tegrated automatic thread- cutter function and the torque control help the dentist during placement of implants, the ISQ module makes it easier to deter- mine the optimal loading time. According to the company, the stability value measured by the device helps improve the success rate and is a form of quality a s s u r a n c e . With this non-invasive measuring system, it is not only pos sible to deter- mine the primary stabil- ity of im plants, but also to mon itor the osseo- integration using secondary measure- ments and determine the optimal point in time for loading the implant. The ISQ value (scale of 1–100) is shown on the display after the meas- urement has been taken and is easy to interpret. Implantmed’s documentation function allows convenient saving of all values of the implant place- ment to a USB stick. The W&H Osstell ISQ module is optional and can be retrofitted by simply con- necting it to the new Implantmed at a later point in time. According to the Austrian dental manufacturer, the unique fu- sion of state-of- the-art technolo- gies from both companies, W&H and Osstell, has made it pos- sible to set new bench- marks in the interna- tional dental market and offer users a decisive bonus in terms of func- tionalities and optimal treatment efficiency. The new Implantmed is characterised by greater safety, ease of use, high precision and flexibility in application. Simply and quickly retrofitted at any time—the W&H Osstell ISQ module.
