| manufacturer news Bicon Time-proven design The Bicon SHORT® Implant is an example of a time- proven geometric design that suc- cessfully transfers the occlusal forces on its prosthesis to its surrounding bone by appropriately integrating the following fea- tures: a bacterially-sealed, 1.5 degree locking taper abutment to implant connection and a subcrestally placed, sloping shouldered implant with a plateaued tapered root form body. Additionally, these integrated features compensate for the implant’s ankylosed nature by successfully transforming occlusal forces to acceptable strains within the bone, provide for healthy and gingivally aesthetic peri-implant tissues, as well as for the callus formation of cortical like bone with central vascular systems. The entirety of this design offers the patient and clinician alike the ability to place an implant in edentulous sites where there is minimal bone height. Bicon Europe Ltd.

Hy- aluronic acid (HA), as one of the main components of the extracellular matrix is naturally present in the human body.1–3 Studies have shown that prolonged presence of HA during the healing process promotes healing by regeneration rather than reparation.4, 5 Besides acceler- ating the healing of soft tissue and bone,6–8 the bacteriostatic prop- erties of HA also protect the wound.9 HYADENT BG remains present throughout the various phases of the healing process due to its slow degradation pattern (several weeks).10 In addition, it aids the surgical periodontal treatment after application to the root surface and soft tissue. This leads to faster wound closure, substantial pocket reduc- tion and enhanced attachment.11–13 When mixed with bone substitu- tion material of any origin the product forms an easily manageable putty, which may additionally lead to accelerated bone formation.14, 15 REGEDENT AG Zollikerstr. 144 8008 Zurich, Switzerland www.regedent.com Literature 38 1 2018
