Армянские имплантологи на Конгрессе в Тбилиси показали инновационную технику

 

During the Third Tbilisi International Congress on Dental Implantology a team of highly professional implantologists representing Armenian clinic DiviDent supervised by the consultant of Bredent Medical David Galstyan conducted demonstrative Fast & Fixed operations, resorbed bone reconstruction using own bone tissue (bone block grafting) and sinus lifting.

The Third International Congress on Dental Implantology was held April 24-26, 2015 in Georgia, Tbilisi. The Congress representative of the German company Bredent Medical has conducted a number of activities during the Congress:

On April 26, Dr. Kistler made a presentation on the topic “Addressing cosmetic problems in the esthetic zone using the methods of working with hard and soft tissues.” The following operations were conducted from April 24-25:

Fast & Fixed operations – resorbed bone reconstruction using own bone tissue (bone block grafting) and sinus lifting. We are proud to mention that this kind of operations in the region are conducted exclusively by the highly professional doctors of the Yerevan clinic Divident (dentists of Divident regularly attend refresher courses in the leading German clinics specializing in implantology).

The progress of the conducted operations:

Removal of decayed teeth, implant installation and simultaneous fixation of fixed denture. The operation was conducted with the use of Fast & Fixed method, which enables doctors to install implants and fixed bridges in just a few hours. The patient has fixed teeth installed the same day with insufficient bone volume being no obstacle in this case.

In fact, the use of special implants and abutments of the German company Bredent Medical helps to avoid bone grafting and to use the existing volume. After a couple of hours following implantation the patient can chew food with their fixed teeth.

Resorbed bone reconstruction using own bone tissue (bone block grafting). During the operation, the required amount of bone is taken from one area of ​​the jaw (the donor site), it is specially prepared, processed and fixed in the area where atrophied bone should be reconstructed. This is where the implant is installed later.

Sinus lift surgery – opening a window in the anterolateral sinus wall and filling the resulting gap with osteoplastic materials, as well as simultaneously installing implants. The operation is carried out to increase the volume of bone tissue of alveolar ridge in the upper jaw to a thickness sufficient to level a dental implant, thereby creating the conditions for an adequate load resistance of occlusal sides of the jaw. During the operation, synthetic bone and membrane manufactured by Bredent Medical were used.

PRF (plasma enriched with growth factors) was used during all the operations. The basis of this technique is a protein based medicine derived from the patient’s own blood; these proteins have biological activity, including growth factors, stimulating and accelerating tissue regeneration.

A number of presentations, discussions, consultations on various issues, workshops on the technical part of making long-term permanent fixed dentures on the implants were also conducted during the Congress.

We’d like to mention here that Davit Galstyan also demonstrated the Fast & Fixed operation method a year ago, during the Second International Congress in Georgia.
