The document discusses how 3D printing can improve dental workflows and outcomes. Specifically:
- 3D printing allows for the creation of precise dental casts and removable dies, eliminating inconsistencies of traditional methods. This ensures proper fitting of restorations before use in patients.
- A case study demonstrates how a patient's restoration was designed using digital scans and 3D printed models, fitted on the removable die in the lab and validated using the unsectioned model. This streamlined process led to easy seating of the restoration with minimal adjustments.
- The use of 3D printing and digital dentistry provides consistent, high-quality dental appliances while increasing efficiency and profitability for dental labs. It also offers superior care experiences

ABSTRACT- Initially when dental implants were first introduced their success was assumed to be dependent mostly on the surgical technique and later their placement. However, without a regular program of clinical reevaluation, plaque control, oral hygiene instruction, and reassessment of biomechanical factors, the benefits of treatment often are lost and inflammatory disease in the form of recurrent periodontitis or peri-implantitis may result. Maintenance of the periodontal health is a critical factor in the long-term success of dental implant therapy. This article reviews the goals, types, and appropriate frequency of periodontal maintenance in dental implant therapy, as well as the incidence and etiology of peri-implant disease and strategies for management when recurrent disease develops during the maintenance phase of treatment.

Media Release
Straumann and botiss team up to provide complete dental
regeneration solutions worldwide
Bilateral distribution agreement to be announced at ITI World Symposium
New products and solutions rolled out
Research and clinical experience presented on reduced invasiveness with
Roxolid®
small implants and on the new Straumann®
PURE ceramic implant
Geneva, 23 April 2014 – At the ITI World Symposium, which opens tomorrow in Geneva,
Straumann and botiss are announcing their intention to combine their strengths to provide
complete oral tissue regeneration solutions to dental professionals worldwide.
According to an agreement between the two companies, Straumann will have exclusive
rights to distribute botiss regenerative system products initially in most Western and Central
European countries and the Americas, with co-distribution in Germany. At the same time,
botiss will receive rights to distribute Straumann’s unique regenerative product Emdogain®
in
Germany as well as in parts of Eastern Europe and the Middle East. In addition, Straumann
has been granted a call option to acquire botiss’ shares which, if exercised, could lead to a
stake in the German company of up to 30% in 2017.
Based in Berlin, botiss biomaterials is Europe’s second largest supplier of oral tissue
regeneration products. Its full range of clinically proven, high quality solutions includes
membranes for guided tissue and bone regeneration, a full range of bovine, allogenica and
synthetic bone graft materials, as well as soft-tissue-graft products. botiss is a fast-growing
entrepreneurial company, whose products are used in leading clinics across Europe and are
backed by many years of clinical experience. The company prides itself in innovations, such
as its maxgraft®
bonering for simultaneous implant placement and bone augmentation, as
well as the maxgraft®
bonebuilder, a bone block customized for individual patients.
Straumann’s CEO, Marco Gadola commented: “botiss will enable us to offer an unparalleled
range of regenerative solutions to support implant and periodontal procedures. Their quality,
effectiveness, handling characteristics and clinical track record will have great appeal to our
customers – as will the possibility to obtain every component for a complete solution from
one company”.
botiss specializes in biomaterials for dental bone and tissue regeneration. Having gained a
leading position in Europe, the company is looking to establish itself in other regions. botiss
is privately owned and was founded by its two managing partners, Oliver Bielenstein and Dr
Dražen Tadić, in 2008.
Dr Tadić noted: “Our products, fields of interest and geographical footprints complement
each other perfectly. Straumann’s leadership in implant dentistry, its global strength and
sales channels will help drive our geographic expansion. The possibilities of brand leverage
and of distributing Emdogain are highly attractive and will benefit our partners in Eastern
Europe and the Middle East.”
The two companies plan to begin distributing the respective products in initial countries in
October 2014 and will work together to expedite regulatory clearances in American and
Asian markets.

ITI World Symposium provides excellent platform for new research and products
With more than 4000 participants, the ITI World Symposium is the leading academic event in
oral implantology. Straumann is benefitting from this year’s event in Geneva to announce the
roll-out of several innovative products and solutions, in addition to promoting its products
through research updates.
Roxolid®
minimally invasive implants1
now available throughout Europe
Following initial introductions in selected markets, Straumann’s full range of Roxolid implants
is now available throughout Europe. This includes the small-diameter and 4mm short implant
versions, which reduce invasiveness by avoiding bone augmentation procedures.
Presentations in Geneva will refer to two and five year data for the 4mm implant2,3
and three-
year clinical data on reduced-diameter implants4
, showing high survival rates and minimal
marginal bone loss. Clinicians’ observations that short implants can lead to fewer
complications, less morbidity, lower costs and more predictable outcomes5
will also be
discussed. These and other factors make short implants an attractive option, often providing
a completely different strategy for implant placement.
Straumann®
PURE Ceramic Implant officially launched
Straumann’s innovative ceramic implant, which was presented at the EAO last October, has
completed its controlled market release. Based on the positive feedback and clinical results
(97.6% success and survival rates6
), which will be presented in Geneva, the implant is now
generally available to customers in Europe under the brand name Straumann®
PURE. The
implant has exceptional esthetic properties with a translucent ivory color like natural tooth
roots. It has a specially-developed ZLA®
surface to enhance and shorten the healing process
and to provide highly predictable osseointegration. Its manufacture involves several
innovations including a test procedureto assure the stability of every implant.
New prosthetic components for fixed full-arch restorations
To address the challenging needs of edentulous patients who want reliable, esthetic, full-arch
dentures that are fixed, rather than removable, Straumann is introducing a new range of
screw-retained implant abutments that offer increased flexibility. In addition to having low
profiles, the new abutments are available with 17° and 30° angulations for challenging
situations where the posterior implant has to be tilted. Straumann is also preparing the
launch of new custom-milled framework components for final fixed prostheses.
Broader CADCAM options with efficiency and productivity gains
The Group is also announcing further enhancements to its CADCAM system. The latest
software release, CARES®
Visual 8.8, offers further streamlined prosthetic solutions and a
broader range of product combinations. The CARES X-Stream™
workflow, which significantly
reduces turnaround time and shipping costs, can now be used for Straumann’s Variobase™
abutment. Numerous restorative options are available for the latter, which offers a highly
cost-effective, complete prosthetic solution with an original Straumann connection.
For customers who want CADCAM custom prosthetics but do not have the requisite
scanning capabilities, Straumann offers a Scan&Shape service, which has also been
enhanced with additional functionality.
3M ESPE Trusted Connection
Straumann and 3M ESPE are jointly announcing a ‘trusted connection’ for the 3M™ True
Definition Scanner. This enables dentists7
to obtain original CARES prosthetic solutions for
implant- or tooth-borne restorations from just a single intra-oral scan and through a seamless
workflow. The trusted connection is a further example of how Straumann is teaming up with
leading providers to offer more options, simpler solutions, greater precision and higher
productivity to dental professionals. Together with 3M ESPE, Dental Wings and Innovation
