San Antonio Cosmetic Dentist Attends Innovative Dental Implant Course
San Antonio cosmetic dentist, Dr. Craig Carlson, attended an intensive three-day conference in Las Vegas in January. Incredible new technology was introduced to simplify and improve the use of dental implants. The course was given at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies and was presided over by Dr. Leo J. Malin.
(PRWEB) February 14, 2005 -- The course stressed the use of the volumetric CT
Scan instrument for precise 3D location of all anatomical landmarks and allows
the placement of implant fixtures with a simple punch technique instead of the
more aggressive flap surgery that is now routinely preformed. A number of
implants were done on live patients using this method.
A second
technology, new to the US market, was introduced at the conference. The ANKYLOS
implant system from Densply International is the first fixture to provide for
bone coverage of all of the threads of the fixture. According to Dr. Carlson,
this features leads to cosmetic restorative results that are unheard of with
conventional implants systems. The system has 16 years of global clinical data
and features what Densply claims is a bacteria-proof implant/abutment conical
connection.
Dr. Malin practices implant dentistry in LaCrosse, WI where
he has developed an implant placement technique that has led to 5 patents
pending along with exceptional implant results. He lectures throughout North
America on full mouth reconstructions and implant placement
Dentists from
all across the nation attended the conference and received information that is
likely to change the way dental implants are placed. That innovation will, in
turn, lead to an advance in cosmetic dentistry for those patients with missing
teeth.
