9. ADVANCES IN IMAGING/
DIAGNOSTIC MODALITIES
• ADVANCES IN PANORAMIC IMAGING
• ZONOGRAPHY
• A modification of the panoramic x-ray machine for making
cross sectional images of the jaws.
• The tomographic layer is approximately 5mm.
• For appreciation of spatial relationship between the critical
structures and the implant site.

10. Zonography
• Limitations:
• Tomographic layers relatively thick .
• Adjacent structures blurring and superimposition.
• Not useful for determining the differences in bone density or
for identifying disease at implant site.

11. Tomography
• Tomography is the generic name
formed by the greek words
‘tomo’(slice) and ‘graphy’(picture).
• Enables visualization of a section of
patient’s anatomy by blurring other
regions above and below the site of
interest.
• For dental implant patients, high
quality complex motion tomography is
required.

12. Computed tomography (CT)
• Computed tomography (CT) is a digital and mathematical
imaging technique that creates tomographic sections.
• With latest CT scanners, images with sectional thickness of
0.25 mm can be obtained .
• This can be useful for determining the implant site in terms of
bone density, and location to adjacent anatomic structures.

13. Recent advances in
Computed Tomography(CT)
• Cone beam CT:
• It uses a cone beam and reconstructs the image in any
direction using special software.
• It gives all the information of a CT but, at 1/8th the radiation
dose and at a lower cost.

14. • Software is used to display and visualize the anatomy
in a way that is clinically meaningful.
• The manufacturers of CBCT scanners offer software that is
capable of multiplanar reformations .
• Third-party software …….

15. SAGGITAL CT AXIAL CT
CROSS SECTIONAL VIEW OF MAXILLA AND MANDIBLE

16. Recent advances in
Computed Tomography(CT)
• Microtomograph:
• Modification of CT, it is specially useful in acquiring serial
sections of bone implant interface.
• Multi slice helical CT:
• The rapid volumetric data acquisition. The speed was further
increased by multislice CT, and offers higher accuracy of
images as compared to CT.

17. Dentascan
• DentaScan imaging
provides programmed
reformation, organization
and display of the
imaging study.

18. • The radiologist simply indicates the
curvature of the mandibular or
maxillary arch
• The computer is programmed to
generate referenced cross sectional
and tangential/panoramic images of
the alveolus along with 3-D images of
the arch.
• The cross sectional and panoramic
images are spaced 1mm apart and
enable accurate preprosthetic
treatment planning.

19. Limitations
• 1. Images may not be of true size and require compensation
for magnification.
• 2. Determination of bone quality requires use of the
imaging computer or workstation.
• 3. Hard copy dentascan images only include a limited range
of the diagnostic gray scale of the study.
• 4. Tilt of the patients head during the examination is critical

20. Interactive computed tomography(ICT)
• This technique enables
transfer of the imaging study
to the clinician as a computer
file….
• The clinician’s computer
becomes a diagnostic
radiologic workstation with
tools……….

21. • An important feature of ICT is
that the clinician and radiologist
can perform “electronic surgery”
(ES)……
• With an appropriately designed
diagnostic template, ES can be
performed to develop the
patient’s treatment plan
electronically in 3 dimensions.
• ES and ICT enable the
development of 3 dimensional
treatment plan…..

22. • Transfer of the plan to the patient
at the time of surgery can be
accomplished by……
• It can also be accomplished by the
production of the computer
generated, three-dimensional
stereotactic surgical templates
from the digital ICT and ES data.

23. Limitations of ICT:
• Refinement and exact orientation of the implant positions is
difficult and cumbersome.
• Executing the plan may be difficult for the surgical team.

24. ADVANCES IN IMPLANT MATERIALS,
FORM, SHAPE AND
SURFACE TOPOGRAPHY
• Mini implants/transitional implants.
• One -piece implants
• Modifications in surface topography(coatings)
• Materials used for fabrication of implants.

25. MINI IMPLANTS
• Mini dental implants (MDIs) are small
diameter dental implants.
• Are sometimes referred to as SDIs
(small diameter implants), as well as
NDIs (narrow body implants).
• Diameter less than three millimetres
(3mm.)

26. MINI IMPLANT DESIGN
• Diameter of 1.8mm to 2.9mm.
• Various lengths.
• Multiple tip, thread, body and head designs are available
• Thread designs vary from thin to thick and thread spacing is
also variable.
• Square, rectangular, or o-ball heads are common.

27. MINI IMPLANT -indications
• Endentulous patients that have loose
lower dentures.
• Where extensive surgery required
for conventional implants is
contraindicated due to medical or
age constraints.
• Healing time is decreased.
• Lower costs

28. • Fixed crown and bridge….

• Typically inserted directly through the overlying gums and into
the bone beneath
• No need to surgically cut and raise flap
• A single minimally invasive surgery is needed for insertion of
MDI implants
• Immediate loading done due to self tapping design.

30. PROCEDURE
• Each of the tiny implants is
held in finger driver that
inserts the implant and also
acts as screw driver.
• Next a winged wrench is used
to tighten the implant
• Possible to provide mini
implant treatment in single
dental office visit.

31. TRANSITIONAL IMPLANTS
• Diameter ranges -1.8 to 2.8
mm
• Length -7mm to 14mm.
• Fabricated with pure titanium
in a single body with treated
surface.
• Primary function is to absorb
masticatory stress during
healing phase

Titanium Implants.
Hermann J. S, Cochran D. L., Buser D., Schenk R. K. and Schoolfield J. D
• Histometrically examined peri-implant soft tissue dimensions
• Conclusion: Gingival margin (GM) is located more coronally
and Biologic Width (BW) dimensions are more similar to
natural teeth around one-piece nonsubmerged implants
compared to either two-piece nonsubmerged or two-piece
submerged implants.
Clinical Oral Implants Research 2001, 12: 559–571.

38. SURFACE MODIFICATIONS
• Increase possibility of rigid fixation
• Promote higher percentage of bone – implant contact
• Proven to increase bone bonding strength
Three general techniques used to modify surfaces:
- Add material,
- Remove material
- Change the material already present.

39. Addition
• Thick coatings - sol-gel and plasma-spraying
• Thin film coatings (sub-micron) - vapor deposition
techniques, where the coating material condenses onto a
surface from a vapor.
• The three basic vapor deposition techniques are:
i. evaporation,
ii. sputtering and
iii. chemical vapor deposition.

40. Removal of material from surfaces
• Glow discharge treatment
• Sputter-etching.

41. • Changed without addition or removal of material by use of
laser and electron beam thermal treatments.
• Ion implantation can be used to add material to surfaces,
modify coatings, and change microstructures

42. Surface modification for
metallic implants
• These treatments include passivation, anodization, ion
implantation, and texturing.

43. PASSIVATION
• Purpose: enhancing the oxide layer present and creating a
surface less likely to break down and release metallic ions in
service.
• Passivation of a surface with the action of an electric current
is known as ANODIZATION….resulting in much thicker oxide
layers…..
• IMPORTANT for highly roughened surfaces, since the
increased surface area has the potential for greater release of
metallic ions into the surrounding tissue.

44. • Surface texturing of an implant is done to increase the surface
area and provide a greater potential for interlocking with
bone.
• Blasting with aluminum oxide or other ceramic particulate
materials, plasma spraying with titanium and acid etching.
• Recently, a resorbable ceramic-blasting material has been
developed…….

45. Ceramic implant surface
• High-strength ceramics used for
implants are very inert in the
body and exhibit minimal ion
release.
• Aluminum oxide is regarded by
many as the standard inert
material……..

46. • The ionic ceramic surface is in a high
oxidation state, thermodynamically stable
and hydrophilic
• Minimal ion release has been noted for
aluminum oxide or zirconium oxide under
normal conditions.
• Coatings may also include biologic coatings
such as proteoglycans, bone morphogenic
proteins and growth factors

47. Zirconia
• Zirconia (Zr02) is a ceramic material used
in implantology because:
• Biocompatibility(bio inert)
• Esthetics (because its colour is similar to the teeth), and
• Mechanical properties, which are better than alumina.
• High resistance to corrosion, flexion, and fracture
• Contact with bone and soft tissue similar to that observed in
titanium implants
• It can be used to produce a entire implant or as a coating.

48. Carbon and
Polymeric implant surfaces
• Carbon has been shown to exhibit an inert and biocompatible
surface when exposed to blood or tissue.
• The carbon structure used for dental implants is known as
turbostratic and is a modified graphite structure.
• Polymeric surfaces are not commonly seen for dental
implants.
• Designed to act as a shock absorber, but this polymeric
element requires periodic replacement due to wear.

49. Surface enhancers
• Bioactive surface coating
Plasma spray - titanium
- hydroxyapatite
• Sand blasted
• Acid etched

50. Hydroxyapatite
• Properties of HA composites is highly dependent on the
particle size and morphology of the HA filler.
• HA of sufficient fineness should be developed.
• RF induction suspension plasma spraying with a wet
suspension of HA.

51. NanoTite ion beam modification of
titanium surface
• Modified with a thin 1 micron thickness of calcium phosphate
with HA- like chemistry for bone enhancement
Ion beam deposition

52. Loaded HA Coated And Grit Blasted Titanium
Implants
Block MS, Finger IM, Fontenot MG, Kent JN
• Comparative study of bone response to HA-coated titanium
surface and two titanium surfaces.
• He found that bone formation and maturation clearly
occurred at a faster rate and earlier periods on HA coated
implants than on non-coated implants, they are stable both in
vivo and in vitro.
• He concluded that HA-coated dental implant results in
superior bone bonding, earlier biointegration, and better
maintenance of crestal bone than titanium surfaces.
Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants 1989,4:219-225

53. Red Blood Cell And Platelet Interaction With
Titanium Implant Surfaces
• The influence of the micro-roughened surface, produced by
dual acid-etching (DAE) of machined commercially pure
titanium, on initial blood cell/implant interactions .
• Micro-roughened DAE implant surfaces showed, qualitative,
more platelets than machined surfaces, while the textured
glass surfaces demonstrated increased platelet aggregation.
• They believed that these early blood cell/implant interactions
may play a key role in the osteoconduction stage of peri-implant
bone healing response to micro-roughened implants.

54. The Advantages Of Coated Titanium Implant Prepared
By Radiofrequency Sputtering From Hydroxyapatite
David R. Cooley, Adrian F. Van Dellen DVM, John O. Burgess and A. Stewart Windele
• Investigated and compared the healing rates of bone around
commercially pure titanium implants and titanium implants
sputter-coated from a hydroxyapatite target.
• Histologic analysis of the bone-implant interface
demonstrated that coated implants had nearly twice the
percentage of direct bone contact compared with non coated
implants.
• Accelerate the healing of bone at the implant interface.

circumferential channels that are precisely created using laser
ablation technology.
• Extremely consistent microchannels that are optimally sized
to attach and organize both osteoblasts and fibroblasts.
• Includes a repeating nanostructure that maximizes surface
area and enables cell pseudopodia and collagen microfibrils to
interdigitate with the Laser-Lok surface.

61. • Biologic response :
• The inhibition of epithelial downgrowth and the attachment of
connective tissue (unlike Sharpey fibers).
• This physical attachment produces a biologic seal around the
implant that protects and maintains crestal bone health.
• More effective than other implant designs in reducing bone
loss.

62. • Different than other surface treatments
• Virtually all dental implant surfaces on the market are grit-blasted
and/or acid-etched.
• These manufacturing methods create random surfaces that
vary from point to point on the implant……..
• The clinical advantage
• The Laser-Lok surface has been shown in several studies to
offer a clinical advantage over other implant designs to
reduce bone loss by 70% .

63. • Latest discoveries

70. • NobelSpeedy™ implant for Immediate
Function
• The innovative implant tip is sharp so the implant works as an
osteotome…….
• This feature allows variable, and if needed, extensive under-preparation
of the site.
• The resulting higher initial stability, especially in soft bone,
supports immediate function.
• The sharp tip also secures a smooth insertion…….

71. • Since the implant cuts through any bone quality it's especially
suitable for grafted bone.
• The bone graft can be of various density levels, and the
ability to under-prepare gives the necessary flexibility when
preparing the grafted site.
• The implant will cut even in under-prepared block graft sites.

72. • NobelSpeedy™ implant -esthetics
• The parallel-walled body and innovative head of
NobelSpeedy™ secures flexibility in the final vertical position
of the implant, which is important for the emergence profile.

stable fit
• Conical connection below the marginal bone
level transfers the load deeper down in the
bone…….
• Reduces peak stresses and thereby
preserves the marginal bone.
• Seals off the interior of the implant from
surrounding tissues, minimizing micro-movements
and micro-leakage.

88. • Simplifies maintenance and ensures reliability in all clinical
situations.
• The tight and precisely fitting implant-abutment relation......
• The abutment is self-guiding and the installation procedure is
non-traumatic, eliminating the risk of bone damage.

89. • Connective Contour
• The Connective Contour™ is the unique
contour that is created when you connect
the abutment to the implant.
• This contour allows for an increased
connective soft tissue contact zone both
in height and volume…
• Sealing off and protecting the marginal
bone.

90. Straumann SLActive implant

• Important when small diameter implants are chosen due to
their reduced size.
• Roxolid® and SLActive® combine high strength with excellent
osseointegration.
• Roxolid® implants have been used where
3.3mm titanium implants
previously were not suitable.

96. SURGICAL GUIDES
• Surgi Guides are computer-generated drilling guides that are
fabricated through the process of stereolithography.
• The SurgiGuide concept is based on the presurgical treatment
planning using SimPlant software for ideal implant
positioning.
• These successive diameter surgical osteotomy drill guides may
be either bone, teeth, or mucosa-borne.

97. • Surgi Guides have metal cylindrical
tubes that correspond to the number of
desired osteotomy preparations and
specific drill diameters.
• The diameter of the drilling tube is
usually 0.2mm larger than the
corresponding drill, thus making angle
deviation highly unlikely.

98. Steps in using SIMPLANT software
Step 1
The scan
• Connect to the Dental Planit button in
your SimPlant GO software to start a
case.
• A radiolucent bite index used to
stabilize jaws at the time of scanning.
• Create an open bite with no overlap in
the horizontal plane.

99. Steps in using SIMPLANT software
Step 1
The scan
• Digital information on the desired tooth-setup
is obtained via the wax-up created
on the plaster model.
• When your patient has been scanned,
your image conversion provider takes an
optical scan of the plaster model and
wax-up and integrates them with the
scanning images.

100. Steps in using SIMPLANT software
• The image conversion saves you valuable
time and ensures that the CT images are
easy to read.
• Exact tooth information – no scatter
artefacts.

• The Procera system (Nobel
Biocare) :
• Custom abutments in titanium,
alumina, and zirconia.
• A master cast is developed after
making an implant-level
impression.
• Scanned and the custom abutment is
designed by a 3d cad pro-gram.

112. • A machined base cylinder is
screwed to the implant analog and the abutment is waxed up.
• The pattern is then removed from the master cast and scanned
by the Procera scanner.
• The design is sent to the production facility for the abutment
fabrication.
• The abutment can be further digitized, and finally a titanium or
ceramic coping is
produced using the same system.

113. CAD/CAM Custom Implant
Framework System
• Procera implant partial
prostheses are available in
zirconia or titanium.
• CAD/CAM custom Procera
partial prostheses are screw-retained
implant-supported
restorations that can be used
with a wide range of
implant systems.

114. • The zirconia implant prosthesis is available at the implant level,
while the titanium implant prosthesis is available at the implant
and abutment levels .
• Using acrylic resin, a framework pattern is fabricated
directly on temporary implant cylinders.
• The acrylic resin framework pattern is then laser scanned, and
the framework is milled in a CNC-milling machine with 5
degrees of freedom.

115. • CAM StructSURE
precision milled bars
(Biomet 3i)
• Hader and Dolder designs for
over-denture bars and primary
bars and in fixed hybrid designs.
• Technician does not need to wax
or resin design the framework;
instead, the design is made on-screen
with a sophisticated
software program.

116. • The Etkon system can
produce frameworks up
to16 units from a variety of
materials, such as zirconia
and titanium.

117. Newer concepts in
implant dentistry
• All on four
• Rescue implant concept
• Teeth in an hour concept

118. ALL ON FOUR -Maxilla and mandible
• The All-on-4 for edentulous jaws has
been developed to maximize the use
of available bone and to allow for
Immediate Function
• Using only four implants in
edentulous jaws…..

119. • All-on-4 using
conventional flap
procedure with
traditional planning
and a standardized
All-on-4 Guide for
predictable and
optimal positioning
of the implants.

120. • All-on-4 with NobelGuide using
flapless technique, computer-based
planning and a customized Surgical
Template to correctly drill and
position the implants.

121. Zygoma implants
• The zygomatic implant is an alternative to bone grafting in
extremely resorbed maxilla.
• With extremely resorbed maxillas, fixed prosthesis can be
provided with four zygomatic implants.
• Either a conventional two stage procedure or a one-stage
surgical procedure or flapless guided surgery with Nobelguide
and immediate function.

122. Zygoma implants
• The four zygomatic implants procedure results in
• Less morbidity,
• Shorter delays between anatomical reconstruction and
functional rehabilitation
• Provide immediate or early loading with immediate function.
• Four zygomatic implants and a fixed bridge seem to be a
valuable technique for the rehabilitation of extremely
resorbed maxillas.

123. Teeth in an hour concept
• With conventional treatment…..
• Teeth-in-an-Hour™ allows the possibility to provide patients
fixed, well-functioning, and esthetic prostheses on implants in
less than an hour.
• With flapless technique…..with greatly reduced healing time,
no temporaries and no significant pain or swelling.
• With the NobelGuide system, allows replacing missing teeth
with permanent dental implants – easily, quickly and
comfortably.
