n n a m u a r t S Straumann Swiss quality and precision Nowadays, patients are more aesthetic and health conscious than ever before. Healthy-looking oral soft tissues and bright teeth are considered a prerequisite for a beautiful smile and self-esteem, adding directly to health-related quality of life. With the Straumann® PURE Ceramic Implant System dentist can grant the best aesthetic, natural and strong treatment to their pa- tients. Patients will benefi t from all the highly aesthetic advantages of a natural ceramic implant. Yet dentists can rely on a high-perfor- mance zirconia ceramic material, being even stronger as the gold standard, grade-4 titanium implants. Every single ceramic implant has to undergo a proof test before it leaves the Straumann production facility. This exceptional stan- dard is the result of more than 12 years of relentless research and development until the ceramic implants complied with the com- pany’s premium quality standards. They combine Swiss quality and precision, strength, clinical success and fl exible treatment protocols in an innovative solution that helps dentists to meet the needs of their patients. Nouvag Sophisticated motor management Nouvag’s latest development in the fi eld of implantology is the motor system MD 11. Drilling, thread cutting, screwing in the implants and placing the cover screw are now organised in separate programmes. The insertion of the tubing set is done with very little effort due to the great visibility of the mounting bracket and easy to reach notches in the bracket. The display shows all information at a glance, no key pressing necessary. Even the activation of the cooling pump and the changing of the pump speed is conveniently done by pressing switches on the pedal. To make the set of the MD 11 complete, Nouvag offers all required contra angles such as the 1:1, 16:1, 20:1, 32:1 and a 70:1. The 20:1 contra angle, also available with LED spotlight, covers the largest fi eld of the implantologists tasks, thanks to the sophisticated motor control of the MD 11 which provides suffi cient torque from the lowest possible speed of 15 rpm to the highest speed of 1,700 rpm.

The improved biocompatibility of zirconium dioxide implants, together with the bone- and soft- tissue growth associated with it have provided new options for implantation wherever pronounced oval alveoli need to be treated, or multiple rooted teeth must be replaced. To this end, the implant ranges “oval” and “balcony” were developed, available in different diameters and lengths, both as single pieces and in two parts, and which were able to optimally close the alveoli, especially with emergency implantations. The new SDS “sinus implants” (Fig.) were developed specifi cally for sinus lifting. Due to the increased biocompatibility of ZrO2, bone growth is also optimally exploited for this indication. In the apical area of the sinus implants, a plate is introduced, which on the one hand spares damage to the Schneiderian membrane upon sinus lifting, and on the other forms a large cavity under the plate due to an umbrella effect. The actual implant serves as a tent pole in this cavity, which creates optimal conditions for inward bleeding and the bone regeneration which results from this. Bone graft material is not necessary in almost all cases. The sinus implants are also available in various diameters and lengths.
