The post The Ceramic Implant Guy interviews one of the Founders of Modern Dental Implant appeared first on Emerginnova.
]]>Michael Foley, founder of Emerginnova, was honored to have the opportunity to fly to Cincinnati Ohio to meet with one of the leading inventors, developers and founders of modern dental implant surgery, Dr. Jack Hahn.
Dr. Jack Hahn has been placing and developing dental implants for more than 45 years. His innovations, including the original tapered implant have played a key role in making implant therapy the predictable mode of treatment it is today.
Dr. Hahn was involved in developing the Steri-Oss Dental Implant System in 1986 which was purchased by Nobel Biocare. He also developed the NobelReplace® dental implant system for Nobel Biocare and oversaw the design of the Hahn
Tapered Implant.
In 2015, he introduced the Hahn Tapered Implant System combines proven features with contemporary design, serving to make implant treatment simpler, safer, and more predictable than ever before.
ZERAMEX was honored to be his first reentry into ceramic implants with the ZERAMEX®XT .
In this interview, Dr. Hahn is discussing his legacy in dental implants including his experience and what he thinks of the future for ceramic implantology.
Zirconia is a much stronger substance, you can take a hammer, and you can’t break ’em! The advantages (of ceramic dental implants) are in the aesthetic zones. Patients are metal conscious these days. They don’t want any metal anywhere.
–Dr. Jack Hahn

ABOUT ZERAMEX® XT
ZERAMEX®XT has a tapered design allowing optimal primary stability. The internal connection has been specifically engineered to maximize the strength of rigid zirconia and eliminate any lateral forces on zirconia.
The precise fitting components offer variable placement close to bone level for enhanced restorative margin. The heart of the connection is the VICARBO® screw. Comprised of many individual threads of carbon fiber that run vertically, uncut down the length of the screw to durably absorb the tensile forces and give the VICARBO® screw its exceptionally high strength.

]]>Dr. Stefan Röhling, Germany
Modern dentistry is evolving constantly and at a fast pace. Straumann strongly focuses on important trends in dentistry in order to offer your patients innovative treatment options that make them smile – and you stand out from the competition. In this EAO issue of “Straumann Live”, we present you what key opinion leaders like Ophir Fromovich, Blackie Swart, Hugo Madeira, and Stefan Röhling have to say about the topics Immediacy, Digital Dentistry and Ceramic Implants.
Stefan Röhling
Dr Röhling received his dental degree from the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, Germany, in 2009. Between 2007 and 2009 he has worked for AO Research Institute, Davos, Switzerland. Since 2009 to this day he has been working for the Clinic of Oral and Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery and for the High-Tech-Research-Center of CMF surgery of the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland. Between September 2013 and October 2014 Dr. Röhling has worked as a postdoctoral research fellow for the Department of Periodontics, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, USA (Chair: Prof. David L. Cochran). Dr. Röhling is a speaker for the International Team for Implantology and since 2006 he has been involved in many experimental and clinical studies dealing with zirconia dental implants. As first and co-author, he has published many journal articles dealing with ceramic implants and he is also first author of a book chapter dealing with dental implant surfaces.

]]>What if I told you that the WORLD’S LARGEST TITANIUM IMPLANT COMPANY was asking their leading clinicians this question.
“Will ceramics soon become the new material of choice?”
In the video: Straumann Live at the Esthetic Days 2019 in Baden-Baden, Germany: Esthetic dentistry is developing into a key driver. Patients who are increasingly informed and inspired by the media are proactively seeking esthetic dental care by the practitioner of their choice – with all the corresponding implications, both positive and negative. They asked seven top experts in the field if they think that ceramics will soon become the new material of choice in implant dentistry: Woo-Ttum Bittner, Kai-Hendrik Bormann, Chris Chmielewski, Vincent Fehmer, Gabor Tepper, Kay Vietor, and Julia Wittneben (alphabetical order).
We are witnessing a major shift led by the leading titanium implant companies to question titanium as the best material for tooth replacement.
A driving factor is the global rise in prevalence of peri-implantitis. Recent studies done by the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, New York City, New York, concluded that approximately 1/3 of the patients and 1/5 of all implants experienced peri-implantitis!
While everyone agrees that cement, ill fitting prosthetics can be part of the cause, this staggeringly negative statistic for titanium implants is leading the investigation for alternative solutions. Ceramic implants are being investigated as the leading candidate.
A study was conducted by the Department of Oral Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Graduate School, Kyushu Dental University, Fukuoka, Japan about the soft tissue biological response to Zirconia and metal implant abutments compared with natural tooth.
These results suggest that blood flow in tissue surrounding zirconia abutments is similar to that in soft tissue around natural teeth. Moreover, zirconia abutments could be advantageous for the maintenance of immune function by improving blood circulation.
“Will ceramics soon become the new material of choice?”
What if all the responses were, YES
ZERAMEX is a Zurich Switzerland manufacturer poised to lead this transition. Since 2006, ZERAMEX has been focused on evolving ceramic implants to a design that is 100% reliable and easy to use.
The ZERAMEX® XT is the first and only completely metal free system that functions surgically and restorative, like traditional titanium implants.

]]>The post Titanium Corrosion in the Oral Environment appeared first on Emerginnova.
]]>Metals rust and corrode as the result of the metal breaking down when exposed to extreme, wet or acid dominated environments. This is the case of the titanium that is common today.
Titanium is a popular metal that is recognized as more durable and stronger than steel, yet is lighter and more flexible than steel. These properties of titanium make it a popular metal used in chemical plants, airplanes, various military and engineering applications and dentistry. Titanium is also used in rifles and air guns.
Titanium Corrosion Mechanisms in the Oral Environment
Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are broadly used in the design of dental and orthopedic implants. The corrosion resistance of Ti and its alloys is a result of the material’s ability to spontaneously form passive oxide films (TiO2) when in contact with oxygen. Ti oxide is a stable and dense layer, which acts as a protective barrier to continued metallic oxidation. In the event of damage, TiO2 has the ability to spontaneously reform under normal physiological conditions.
However, events, such as abnormal cyclic loads, implant micromotion, acidic environments and their conjoint effects, can result in permanent breakdown of the oxide film, which may consequently lead to exposure of the bulk metal to an electrolyte.
Corrosion of titanium dental implants has been associated with implant failure and is considered one of the triggering factors for peri-implantitis.
Corrosion of dental implants is concerning, because a large amount of metal ions and debris are generated in this process, of which accumulation may lead to adverse tissue reactions in the oral environment. In summary, the main events linked to Ti implant degradation in the oral environment seem to be related to: (1) electrochemical factors, acidity caused by the presence of inflammatory processes, oral bacteria or the use of solutions that can attack the surface of the implant; (2) mechanical factors, induced by mechanical loads that can lead to fretting and excessive wear of the surface; and (3) synergistic action of electrochemical and mechanical factors (tribocorrosion).
The infiltration of saliva into the multi-metallic structures on titanium implants brings different types of alloys into temporary or permanent contact. In this way a galvanic cell is established as a result of their potential difference. The galvanic cell phenomenon is compounded by another type of corrosion resulting from the geometry of the assembly: localized crevice corrosion.
