Anew Dental Implants: A Good System for Provisional Fixed Partial Dentures?

Dr. S. asks:
Dentatus has just come out with Anew – their long-term implants with screw retention for provisional implant supported fixed partial dentures. The technique is to insert these narrow diameter implants, screw down the temporary bridge into the implant fixtures and then allow the area to heal. When it is time for the conventional dentures to be placed, the temporary bridge is unscrewed and the Anew narrow diameter implants are unscrewed and removed from their sockets. The conventional diameter implants can then be placed. I am concerned about backing out the narrow diameter implants. Has anyone tried this and what were your experiences?

  Dentatus was the first company to manufacture small diameter (1.8mm) implants for short or long term use.

  With their Anew system, they offer a screwable prosthetic head with diameters of 1.8mm,2.2mm,and 2.4mm… all of them much smaller than conventional implants and simple to install.

  I have had the experience of removing the earlier generation 1.8mm implants. In most cases, simply placing the thumb screw driver handle over the implant, and turning counter clockwise, will remove the implant atraumatically.

  I have had the experience of removing fractured 1.8mm diameter implants, as they are made of pure surgical grade titanium, and are softer and could break…..in these cases, a trephine drill will fit right over it, and simply drill down. The hole created when the core is removed, brings you much closer to your final osteotomy size.

  The new screwable prosthetic head makes for a dependable prosthetic option for temporary or long term
  resin bridges.

  The Anew implant surgical/restorative protocol, developed in conjunction with the Department of Implant Dentistry, New York University College of Dentistry. These pre-sterilized one-piece, screw-retained implants are available in diameters of 1.8 mm, 2.2 mm and 2.4 mm and three different threaded lengths. In 2004, after submitting a substantial number of cases that had been recorded with long-term success and integration, the FDA approved the Dentatus narrow body implants “For long-term use and for any length of time as decided by the healthcare provider.”

  Anew implants provide an alternative for patients with compromised bone, narrow spaces and converging roots. It could be argued that there is no better alternative to restoring congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors. Anew implants are ideal for any single tooth replacements, quadrant implant-supported bridges and even full arch splinting. They also have value in providing fixed provisional restorations to patients undergoing lengthy bone augmentation procedures.

  The design of the Anew implant provides fantastic aesthetic results. Due to the small diameter of the implant and abutment platform, more space is available for the redevelopment and maintenance of the papillae. This eliminates the formation of the often seen “black triangle.”

  This user-friendly system has few components. Surgically, there is one laser-marked CePo drill and one corresponding reamer to create the osteotomy. The one-piece implant has an externally threaded abutment. The low-profile prosthetic abutment thread connector tolerates moderate implant angulation for stress-free insertions of restorations.

  The index coping becomes incorporated in the provisional or permanent restoration, serving as an anti-rotational device and as a means for attaching the restoration to the implant with a non-hygroscopic resin Screw-Cap. These accessible resin Screw-Caps can be removed and replaced without cross-thread damage to the implant. Impression transfer copings and analogs are provided for the construction of customized permanent restorations.

  The Anew Implants were tested in a number of university teaching environments and by implant specialists in the USA and abroad who have found them indispensable in bone and tissue reconstructive procedures. Practitioners familiar with the art recognize the importance of providing patients with teeth at the first appointment, allowing them to function and enjoy their occupational and personal lifestyles without embarrassment.

  The major advantage to restorative dentists is that the reconstructive process can continue without undue haste as the temporary restorations are kept in position until the time they are replaced with the customized crowns and bridges. Interim restorations that can be atraumatically disassembled without physical tapping force of cemented restorations make it possible to progressively monitor the treatment and affect needed changes and/or corrections.

  Rick, all great information for an infomercial.

  If you work for the company you should state so.
