SHOW PREVIEW industry TAV Dental: The future of dental implantology is zirconia When considering what implant to use, many dentists will select one that is based on titanium or a titanium alloy. However, rapid advancements in the development of ceramic implants have made them a feasible and reliable alternative, as their metal-free properties offer a mechanically and visually superior choice. With its wide range of outstanding zirconia dental products, TAV Dental presents an evolutionary approach to patient satisfaction in tooth replacement. (cid:132) A division of TAV Medical, TAV Dental has over four decades of expe- rience in the design and manufacture of dental products. Through its inno- vative and in-house ceramic injection moulding technology, TAV Dental is able to maintain a standard of excel- lence in the quality and accuracy of its zirconia products that is un- matched by any other. With short lead times, small minimum orders and a focus on perfection, TAV Dental is the dentist’s top choice for zirconia dental products. According to TAV Medical CEO Oded Ben-Shabat, “The company’s core values have always been precision, passion and partner- ship. TAV Dental is proud to be work- ing with leading dentists around the world in order to bring our zirconia implants to dental practices.” Dr Siegmund Döttelmayer heads the Department for Implantology, Periodontology and Oral Surgery at the EMCO clinic in Austria and is committed to providing safe, stable AD and long-lasting ceramic implants. As a member of the European Society of Cosmetic Dentistry and the European Association for Osseointegration, Döttelmayer uses full-zirconia im- plants for his patients. “Full-zirconia implants are ideal for patients suffer- ing from allergies, which makes tita- nium unsuitable for them. More im- portantly, the material is known for its very high fracture strength and excellent fl exural strength. Further- more, post-surgical healing has proven to be similar or better than with titanium implants. Based on ten years of experience with zirconia im- plants and around 1,800 cases, I can confi rm only one case of peri-implan- titis, with the associated bone resorp- tion.” Reliable and affordable Dr Michael Leistner is an estab- lished implant specialist from Ger- many, where he maintains two prac- tices. He has hundreds of docu- Hall 4.2 | Booth G-038 Cologne, Germany © Dr. Michael Leistner © Dr. Michael Leistner mented case studies through his company, dent design. Leistner has placed TAV Dental implants in a number of patients already. “Full-zir- conia implants offer higher biocom- patibility and more beautiful aesthet- ics and are a completely metal-free alternative. Zirconia as a neutral ma- terial allows for successful osseointe- gration when suffi cient pressure is applied. I have even observed growth of the gingiva on zirconia. Further- more, the risk of peri-implantitis is signifi cantly lower than for titanium implants. I consider TAV Dental im- plants a reliable and affordable full-ceramic system and am pleased to be able to offer it to my patients. In addition, I greatly appreciate the company’s fast and reliable customer service.” Dr Simion Bran heads the Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery at the Iuliu Ha(cid:288)ieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy. He described his ex- periences: “Zirconia implants have three main benefi ts: they possess ex- cellent biological properties in con- tact with the bone and the gingival tissue, they achieve outstanding aes- thetic results in the anterior region of the upper and lower jaws, and they exhibit low adherence of bacte- rial plaque.” He continued: “I would defi nitely recommend TAV zirconia implants to my colleagues owing to the implants’ superior quality. I would also like to highlight the ex- cellent communication with TAV Dental, which answered promptly all my requests regarding the im- plant design and the internal con- nection.” Zirconia is the future of implantology Zirconia has been recognised by TAV Dental as an excellent material for its dental products for a variety of reasons. It is a highly aesthetic mate- rial, closely matching the colour of the natural dentition while possess- ing a lifelike translucency, and its anti-allergenic and tissue-friendly properties ensure an unmatched level of biocompatibility and osse- ointegration. In addition, it is highly resistant to heat stress and retains a relatively low level of biofi lm com- pared with metals. TAV Dental’s zir- conia range is unparalleled in its di- versity, with standard-platform and narrow-platform options available for almost every product. Its offering in- cludes the following: – zirconia aesthetic abutments – zirconia aesthetic abutments with a titanium base – zirconia anatomic healing caps – one-piece ball attachment zirconia rings – one-piece multi-unit zirconia rings – zirconia lockers (Locator) – zirconia implants and drills. TAV Dental will be exhibiting at the 2017 International Dental Show, to be held in Cologne in Germany, from 21 to 25 March. It will be lo- cated at Booth G038 in Hall 4.2, and the company representatives are keenly looking forward to discussing its wide range of zirconia dental products with visitors. On 23 March at 11.30, Dr Eyal Tarazi from Israel will be giving a presentation titled “The impact of zirconia on the evolution of dental implantology” at the Speakers’ Corner (Passage 4/5). (cid:26) Better implantology with ACTEON products (cid:132) Owing to the evolution of dental technology, clinicians can now per- form procedures that were unthink- able ten years ago. In implantology, for example, the success rate has pro- gressed notably as a result of pre-im- plant procedures. Although the im- plant is the key element in this devel- opment, it is also essential to have high-quality bone support. The X-MIND TRIUM from ACTEON (Hall 10.2, Booth M060–N069) visualises this support and makes it possible to measure the bone volume immedi- ately and assess the bone density. X-MIND TRIUM is an essential tool for treatment planning and post-procedure follow-up, according to the French manufacturer. Its 3-D imaging capability allows clinicians to assess the anatomy from a single scan. 3-D modelling can then be used to choose the size and shape of the implants in proportion to the pa- tient’s morphology based on a sub- stantial and scalable implant library. Moreover, clinicians start by putting the crown in place, which serves as a guide for better positioning of the im- plant. Imaging data generated by X-MIND TRIUM scans can be ex- ported in STL format and imported into surgical guide design software. Dental gaps are often associated with bone loss; thus, a graft is nec- essary to reconstruct the support for the implant. Owing to its ultra- porous structure that is especially compression-resistant, QUALIOS, the new synthetic bone graft ma- terial from ACTEON is the prod- uct of choice for bone regenera- tion, the company said. Its inno- vative structure allows the material to retain its volume and fi ll the space long enough for complete regeneration, regard- less of the mechanical stress from mastica- tion. Furthermore, QUALIOS is very easy to handle: the high porosity allows quick fl uid absorp- tion, whether it is mixed with blood, sa- line or platelet-rich plasma. The phosphocalcium ce- ramic in QUALIOS is completely resorbable and synthetic, avoid- ing the risk of contamination as- sociated with products of ani- mal origin. The material is avail- able in TCP (tricalcium phos- phate) and BCP (biphasic calcium phosphate) formulations. These have different resorption speeds and come in granules and cylin- ders to fulfi l the specifi c needs of each dental surgery. Pre-implant surgery involving bone grafting is performed in areas where supporting bone is insuffi cient. The use of the 24 37th International Dental Show 2017 duced postoperative pain. With a special power boost and imme diate power responsiveness, Piezotome Cube advanced electronics, combined with a reliable handpiece and robust tips, provide maxi- mal performance and excellent tac- tile feedback. Fur- thermore, Piezotome Cube provides clinical benefi ts at each stage of surgery for im- proved patient acceptance. All of these ACTEON innova- tions are the result of the research performed by its fi ve design offi ces, which collaborate daily with interna- tionally prominent dental surgeons to offer patients faster, more natural- looking results with minimal opera- tive sequelae. (cid:26) ACTEON’s power ful Piezotome Cube ultra- sonic device is particu- larly safe and atrau- matic for this applica- tion. Its fi ne, precise cuts provide rapid heal- ing and dramatically re-
