March 11, 2018 admin Comment

BioMeDevice Ltd. today announced that it has received FDA approval to market the new and innovative gumEase Cryo-Anesthetic dental mouthpiece to US dental practitioners and over the counter across the United States. The easy-to-use, disposable device is a breakthrough in pain management. Inserted into the sulci above and below the upper and lower gums, the latex-free device delivers anesthetic pain relief to the maxillofacial nerves, quickly diminishing pain. In patient testing the new gumEase diminished pain by 90% in 3

Apparatus for simulating interdental papilla- US Patent Issued
March 11, 2018 admin Comment

A novel implant based solution for stimulating interdental/interimplant papilla was recently granted a US Patent. The solution involves the placement of a small tack between the implants, which acts as a scaffold for papilla formation.

March 11, 2018 admin Comment

Innovative Implant Technology has released their new system for performing internal sinus lifts. The one-time use kit includes a sinu-drill and 2 flexible plastic curette for elevating the sinus. The sinu-drill design features 2 colored knobs to allow controlled removal of the sub-antral bone without perforating the sinus membrane. The website has an excellent animated technique movie.

The Rise of Corporate Sponsored Dental Implant Centers?
March 11, 2018 admin Comment

Clear Choice Dental Implant centers provide one stop implant services: CT-Scan, surgery and restorations. They exclusively use one manufacturer`s products and protocols, in this case Nobel Biocare. Two Centers are open so far in Austin TX and Denver CO, with ten more centers planned to open across North America.

Carbon Nanotubes Double Human Osteoblast Growth Rate
March 11, 2018 admin Comment

A team of Brown University engineers, led by Thomas Webster, has discovered a new material that could significantly increase osseointegration success rate. Osteoblasts grow faster and produce more calcium on anodized titanium covered in carbon nanotubes compared with plain anodized titanium and the non-anodized version currently used in orthopaedic implants. The work, published in Nanotechnology, uncovers a new material that can be used to make more successful implants. The research also shows tantalizing promise for an all-new device: a “smart”

Harvard Researchers Pioneer Pain-Specific Local Anesthesia from Chili Peppers
March 11, 2018 admin Comment

The new method exploits a membrane-spanning protein called TRPV1, which is unique to pain-sensing neurons. TRPV1 forms a large channel, where molecules can enter and exit the cell. But a “gate” typically blocks this opening. The gate opens when cells are exposed to heat or the chili-pepper ingredient capsaicin. Thus, bathing pain-sensing neurons in capsaicin leaves these channels open, but non-pain sensing neurons are unaffected because they do not possess TRPV1. “We’re optimistic that this method will eventually be applied

Implant Logic Systems – Implant Guide Service
March 11, 2018 admin Comment

Implant Logic Systems is a service which both plans implant positioning and manufactures a custom surgical drill guide to place the implants according to the treatment plan. They use both `Simplant` and a custom software package, VIP, to plan the implant position using CT-Scan data. Their Pilot Compu-Guide Drill Kit is used to ensure accurate osteotomy positioning using the custom designed drill guide and sleeves.

Implantology – What NOT to do
March 11, 2018 admin Comment

A Washington State disciplinary board has fined a Lynnwood dentist $10,000, suspended his license at least through the end of the year and ordered him to take 41 hours of continuing education courses. The case involved a patient treated between June 2004 and November 2006 who needed nine dental implants. In its order, the commission found that the dentist failed to adequately examine, assess, evaluate, diagnose or develop a treatment plan for the patient. He did not adequately check out

MIT Investigates Molecular Mechanism Responsible for Bone`s Toughness
March 11, 2018 admin Comment

Professor Markus Buehler of MIT`s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has revealed for the first time the role of bone`s atomistic structure in a toughening mechanism that incorporates two theories previously proposed by researchers eager to understand the secret behind the material`s lightweight strength. He studied the molecular structure of the mineralized collagen fibrils that make up level 2 bone, hoping to find the mechanism behind bone`s strength, which is considerable for such a lightweight, porous material. When pressure

Abraham Lincoln may have had a Facial Defect
March 11, 2018 admin Comment

The left side of Lincoln`s face was much smaller than the right, an aberration called cranial facial microsomia. The defect joins a long list of ailments – including smallpox, heart illness and depression – that modern doctors have diagnosed in Lincoln. Laser scans of two life masks, made from plaster casts of Lincoln`s face, reveal the 16th president`s unusual degree of facial asymmetry. The scanning technique is usually used to create 3-D images of children with cleft lip and palate
