Dentsply Sirona continues to deliver innovation and digital implant workflow solutions in implant dentistry. Following a series of groundbreaking product and solution launches, the sights are set on creating the best possible workflow solutions for implant dentistry professionals. The idea is to identify customer-unique solutions that secure high quality treatments while saving time and effort.

Charlotte/Bensheim, October 5, 2020. Dentsply Sirona has an extensive product and solutions portfolio for all phases of implant dentistry, and as the recent launches of Azento, Astra Tech Implant EV and Acuris show, the company intends to remain an innovative leader.

“Everything we put on the market is based on the needs of the customers, well-documented and clinically proven. We will keep making ever better products, find new solutions and drive industry progress. At the same time, we know that customers are increasingly interested in finding the workflow that best suits their unique needs. By listening to them and assessing their situation, we can pinpoint what products, solutions and services that best help them,” says Gene Dorff, Group Vice President at Dentsply Sirona Implants.

Making your work flow, as the initiative is called, revolves around identifying the smoothest and most convenient workflow for each customer, and making sure to deliver whatever is needed to ensure that. In addition to the vast, world-class assortment of products and solutions for implant treatment, there is also the full offer of the Dentsply Sirona portfolio for a complete solution that creates the best possible workflow and makes the customer’s work flow better.

Astra Tech Implant EV

The Astra Tech Implant System just got even better – with the new Astra Tech Implant EV. As one of the most well-documented implant systems in the market today – documented in over 1,000 publications in peer-reviewed journals – it continues to evolve and provide great clinical benefits.

In fact, the revised implant design change of the Astra Tech Implant EV comes with significant advantages –with a deeper implant thread design apically, it is easier to reach preferred primary stability and the handling experience is enhanced for easy installation.

Marco Toia, DDS, PhD, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Oral Medicine, Faculty of Odontology at Malmö University, explains: “I feel more confident with the Astra Tech Implant EV because the apex is engaged perfectly in the osteotomy. I can feel that the implant is guiding itself, making it really easy to place. This will be very helpful for new clinicians and GPs.”

Since its launch over 30 years ago, Astra Tech Implant System has been one of the world’s most documented dental implant systems, with over 1,000 published scientific references in peer-reviewed journals. Ongoing clinical documentation demonstrates that Astra Tech Implant System provides surgical and prosthetic flexibility, maintains marginal bone levels, and delivers reliable and predictable clinical results as well as natural esthetics, in the short and long term.

This top-of-the-line implant system features pioneering and groundbreaking innovations that are the result of knowledge and understanding of the biological and clinical processes involved in dental implant therapy. These innovations, such as implant-abutment connection, surface technology, and implant thread design, contribute to even better clinical results.

Symbios BoneShield titanium membranes

The new BoneShield titanium membrane offers high mechanical stability and excellent biocompatibility, while allowing diffusion of nutrients through unique micropores.
The BoneShield titanium membrane provides three-dimensional stability. First, the smooth titanium surface reduces the adhesion of plaque and bacteria. ^{1, 3, 4} Second, for ultrathin pliability the 20μm profile allows you to easily contour and mold the titanium membrane without losing mechanical stability. Third, with unique micropores the membrane allows diffusion of oxygen and immune cells to pass through. ^{1, 3}

The enhanced rigidity and superior long-term structural support make BoneShield titanium membranes particularly suitable for procedures such as ridge preservation, sinus elevation, lateral augmentation or where there are large bone defects. ^{1, 2} The membranes come in three shapes and sizes – oval 20/15 mm, triangular 21/17 mm, and rectangular 33/25 mm.
