IMPLANT SYSTEM whiteSKY Manual Temporary restoration, impression and model fabrication

The expectations and wishes of patients placed on dental treatment have greatly increased in the last few years. They expect therapeutic concepts to be adapted to meet their needs, which will enable them to lead an active and fulfilled life. A lot can be achieved here, especially with implants! It is important, however, to understand the exact requirements of the patients and to address these – also during dental advisory consultations. ...gapless...

You will now be able to satisfy your patients with special requirements, regarding aesthetics or a metal-free restoration, with whiteSKY - a tried and tested implant system for the past 5 years - which can be used in particular in …gapless … patients.

Patients demand esthetics Along with the acceptance of implant restorations as the best solution to replace lost teeth and the growing use of implant placement, the requirements of the patients on esthetics have increased. The attitude towards the dentist is gradually changing in the awareness of patients. The idea of a place where aching teeth are repaired is fading and gradually replaced by the dentist‘s role as a health manager who has also a significant influence on the appearance and the well-being. What is most important for persons during first contact? 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 A...

Long-term success thanks to perfect soft tissue seal Long-term success thanks to perfect soft tissue seal The results obtained with the Tübingen implant more than 20 years ago already showed that the soft tissue attaches perfectly to ceramic implants so that there is only a minimal risk of periimplantitis since the risk of penetration of pathogenic bacteria to the bone level can almost be eliminated. A study in minipigs at the University of Dresden confirmed these positive results also for the whiteSKY zirconium implants. The histology clearly shows the apposition of epithelial cells to the...

Scientific basis Zirconium oxide - the ideal implant material All zirconium oxides used in dentistry exhibit the same tetragonal structure since it meets the requirements of the stomatognathic systems in the best possible way. In nature this structure is only found at temperatures between 1173° C and 2370° C; the structure at room temperature is stabilized by adding yttrium. 1173° C ZrO2 crystal phases monoclinic tetragonal cubic Strength three times higher than that of titanium In the unground condition, the strength of brezirkon is three times higher than that of titanium and two times...

Surface design and osseointegration Scientific dental literature points out that rough surfaces are required for osseointegration to facilitate the apposition of osteoblasts. whiteSKY surface Based on these scientific results the whiteSKY surface was sandblasted to achieve a defined level of roughness. Microstructure in the µm range for rapid bone adaptation Osseointegration of zirconium and titanium surface A study in dogs carried out at the Universities of Cologne and Belgrade showed that bone-implant contact of the sandblasted whiteSKY zirconium implants is on the same level as that of...

Scientific basis Primary stability through the implant design Since whiteSKY is a one-phase implant, it is essential to insert the implant with sufficient primary stability of at least 20 Ncm to ensure osseointegration. Then again a value of 45 Ncm should not be exceeded to protect the bone. The implant design is based on the successful SKY titanium implant and features a combination of a cylindrical and conical inner and outer geometry to achieve highest possible primary stability. Moreover the compression thread leads to increased primary stability. The double thread allows quicker...

Since the whiteSKY zirconium implant is a one-piece implant, particular attention must be paid to the healing phase. Therefore we recommend to place the implant in situations in which safe healing is ensured by the adjacent teeth. The implant should not be subjected to functional loading during the healing phase. Generally, two-stage procedures should be chosen for augmentation techniques in conjunction with whiteSKY implants. In large gaps each missing tooth should be replaced with a whiteSKY zirconium implant to avoid excessive loading of the implants. In free-end situations, there is the...

Treatment planning Result of implant placement beyond the esthetic border line Optimal position Positioning Owing to the one-piece design, careful preoperative planning is also essential for the whiteSKY implant since there are only limited possibilities of customizing the implant with its integrated abutment. In this context we would like to refer to a publication by PD Dr. Gomez Roman who suggests the following parameters to obtain the perfect space for esthetic implant positioning: Esthetic border line Optimal line ensures sufficient vestibular hard and soft tissue - the basis for the...

Bone quality-oriented drill design Pilot drill The drill design supports the attainment of a high primary stability in the soft and medium-hard bone (D2 – D4) by compression. In hard bone (D1), atraumatic thread tapping provides a loadfree insertion of the implant. Twist drill Final drill The surgical protocol is designed such that quick and safe preparation of the implant cavity is ensured with a minimum of drilling. Pilot drill: Using the conical tip of the pilot drill, it can be ensured that the drill does not slip even in hard bone and the implant position can be precisely marked. At...
