(BDIZ EDI) Implant-Study 2014/2015 – March 2015 – Quantitative and qualitative element-analysis of implant-surface by SEM and EDX

(BDIZ EDI) Implant-Study 2014/2015 • March 2015

Quantitative and qualitative element-analysis of implant-surface by SEM and EDX

Prof. Dr. Dr. Joachim E. Zöller Interdisciplinary Polyclinic for Oral Surgery and Implantology Dept. for Cranio Maxillofacial and Plastic Surgery, Dr. med. dent. Dirk U. Duddeck Head of Surface Analyses, In cooperation with the European Association of Dental Implantologists BDIZ-EDI Quality & Research Committee

Background and Aim
Implant surfaces are modified by microstructures and surface extension to improve osseointegration. Numerous studies showed an increased adhesion and osteoblastic matrix-production on retentive titanium surfaces.

In 2008 the University of Cologne, Germany and the BDIZ EDI (European Association of Dental Implantology) with its Quality and Research (Q&R) Committee (www.bdizedi.org) performed a scanning electron microscopic study and analyzed the surfaces of 23 enossal titanium implants of several manufacturers at the Interdisciplinary Policlinic for Oral Surgery and Implantology, Department for Craniomaxillofacial and Plastic Surgery, University Cologne(1). The tested implants showed isolated and/or extensive deposits. Depending on manufacturing process, accumulations of organic material (carbon) or inorganic material like aluminum, silicon, phosphor, sulfur, chlorine, potassium and calcium were found.

In 2011-2012 we performed the same protocol on 57 dental implants from different manufacturers. However, the manufacturing of implants requires an adequate system of quality controls. Although some manufacturers have made substantial improvements since our first survey in 2008, the study in 2011-2012 again singled out a few implants with larger areas of surface blasting residue and selective organic impurities(2).

The BDIZ EDI(3), representing more than 5,500 active implantologists in Europe, was asked in its general meeting to continue these analyses periodically and to publish the results in the European EDI Journal.

While using the same material and methods regarding the technical setup this study allows comparisons to the results of previous studies.

As a continuance of the two studies cited above the aim of study is to verify improvements of manufacturing and quality management as well as to demonstrate the high quality level of the participating manufacturers and implant companies.

Clinical case of total reconstruction in the upper jaw with guided surgery protocol and immediate loading

Clinical case of total reconstruction in the upper jaw with guided surgery protocol and immediate loading Dr. Fabio Lo Meo Introduction Nowadays modern surgical techniques are more and more moving towards simplified and minimally invasive protocols, aimed at offering patients more effective and highly predictable solutions with shorter treatment times. In addition, this approach makes treatments better tolerated, faster, with more comfortable postoperative courses and reduced costs. ImplRead more

Dentist Michael Weiland: excellent care is important to me!

Magazine PIP • Practical implantology and implant prosthetics • 08 June 2022 Dentist Michael Weiland: excellent care is important to me! In times of skilled labor bottlenecks and a fundamental lack of staff, the first thing that many lose is the services that were once seen as so essential. But the more a piece of hardware is interchangeable and discount battles want to be avoided, the more a company stands out from the customer with the many free little help. Interview with dentist MichRead more

Complete-arch fixed reconstruction by means of guided surgery and immediate loading: a retrospective clinical study on 12 patients with 1 year of follow-up

Henriette Lerner, Uli Hauschild, Robert Sader & Shahram Ghanaati Abstract Guided implant surgery is considered as a safe and minimally invasive flapless procedure. However, flapless guided surgery, implant placement in post-extraction sockets and immediate loading of complete-arch fixed reconstructions without artificial gum are still not throughly evaluated. The aim of the present retrospective clinical study was to document the survival and success of complete-arch fixed reconstructioRead more
