Discussion This is the fourth national oral health survey conducted in the Kingdom of Bahrain; Survey reported here to provide information on the prevalence and severity of dental decay (caries), periodontal diseases, dental fluorosis and erosion, traumatic injuries to teeth, oral mucosa lesions and complete or partial denture in 6, 12 and 15 years-old children attending governmental schools. Further reports will be produced including summary reports of face to face interview questionnaire. This report also highlights the wide variation in the levels of dental decay experienced by the same age groups living in different parts of the country that means different life circumstances. Though in Kingdom of Bahrain there is well established oral health preventive program but still dental caries remain high prevalent among children group in the country, this might be still elevated in its percentage of prevalence because those children frequently had exposure of their teeth and dental tissue to fermentable carbohydrates, most commonly through eating and drinking sugary snacks and drinks (Rugg-Gunn, A. J. 1992). Dental News, Volume XXIII, Number III, 2016
The variation in dental decay reported at the different governorates was very well defined in this study that need to re-engineer of the preventive programs accordingly and a serious consideration should be given to this when preventive strategies and local interventions are being developed. The survey targeted 6, 12 and 15 years old school students throughout the kingdom; by using cluster sampling method ensured the external validity of the survey. It is clear that there is minute improvement in dental caries level of the Bahraini students for all age groups. At age 6 years old, the mean dmft= 4.56 which is lower than in 2005 (dmft=4.66), however in age 12 years old children the mean DMFT=2.26 while in the year 2005 the DMFT=2.3 but still this is considered higher than the global standard DMFT for the year 2010 which should not be higher than (1) one (Hobdell et al, 2000). At age 15, the mean DMFT is 2.71 which is not significantly different from DMFT in year 2005 (DMFT= 2.78), (Naseeb, A., (2005). The minute improvement in dental caries experiences can be attributed to the introduction of Oral Health Promotion Strategy from birth to age 18 years old

It was obvious that the d/D component of the dmft/DMFT i.e. the decayed/Decayed(d/D) component in DUAL CURING BULK COMPOSITE all ages was detected to be the highest share among the others component of the dmft/DMF and this can be determined that the incidence of decayed components is the responsible one to rise dmf/DMF score to its uppermost.

26 Pedodontics termine appropriate preventive and therapeutic tactic; the dental hygienist can be the key dental team member responsible for the creation, implementation and evaluation of CAMBRA instead of waste of resources. This approach was proposed by a group of experts based on scientific literature as a means of caries risk assessment through disease indicators, risk factors and protective factors to determine the associated clinical protocols or interventions Featherstone, J.D.B., DomejeanOrliaguet, S., Jenson, L., Wolff, M., & Young, D.A. (2007) and (Featherstone, J.D., Adair, S.M., Anderson, M.H., Berkowitz, R.J., Bird, W.F., Crall, J.J., Den Besten, P.K., Donly, K.J., Glassman, P., Milgrom, P., Roth, J.R., Snow, R., & Stewart, R.E. (2003). The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as the “complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of infirmity” (WHO 1948). In this definition, WHO indicates three dimensions of well-being. Physical well-being that relates to function normally in activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, and moving around. Mental well-being implies that intellectual faculties are intact and that there is no burden of fear, anxiety, stress, depression, or other negative emotions. Social well-being relates to one’s ability to participate in society, fulfilling roles as family member, friend, worker, or citizen or in other ways engaging in interactions with others. Bergner M, Bobbitt RA, Carter WB, Gilson BS. (1981). As Gift and Atchison (1995) stated, measuring health-related quality of life allows assessment of “the trade-off between how long and how well people live.” Gift and Atchison (1995). Diseases and disorders that result in dental and craniofacial defects can frustrate that goal, disturbing self-image, self-esteem, and well-being. Oral complications can compromise the quality of life such as problems the children could face with appearance, speaking, chewing, taste, and bad smell from oral cavity due to dental caries; and periodontal disease. In this study the psychological impact of teeth appearance has been found that 30.6 % of children were unsatisfied with the appearance of their teeth and 22.2% of the children were found that they avoided smiling/laughing because of their teeth appearance, and 8% of the children were found that other schoolchildren make fun of them because of their teeth appearance. A 17.1% of children had experienced dental pain and missed school, and perform poorly in Dental News, Volume XXIII, Number III, 2016
school. A 74.8% of children responded that they had toothache or felt discomfort during the past 12 months. From above the presented result it can be concluded that oral health has direct impact on people’s life; Davied Locker stated that “Oral health affects people physically and psychologically and influences how they grow, enjoy life, look, speak, chew, taste food and socialize, as well as their feelings of social wellbeing (Locker D. 1997). Also, Sheiham, A. (2016) supported the same idea “Severe caries detracts from children’s quality of life: they experience pain, discomfort, disfigurement, acute and chronic infections, and eating and sleep disruption as well as higher risk of hospitalization, high treatment costs and loss of school days with the consequently diminished ability to learn” (Sheiham, A, 2016). These findings suggest that improving children’s oral health status may be a vehicle to enhancing their educational experience. Furthermore, 33.8% of the children never went to the dentist during the last 12 months, and 23.8% of them once a year had visited the dentist. However, pain in teeth and gum was the uppermost reasons that drove children to visit their dentist in the last twelve months as this is reported by (54.5 %) students. Oral diseases are the fourth most expensive diseases to treat. Treating caries, estimated at US$ 3513 per 1000 children, would exceed the total health budget for children of most low-income countries (Yee R, Sheiham A. 2002). The situation for adults in developing countries is worse, as they suffer from the accumulation of untreated oral diseases. Millions with untreated caries have cavities and suppuration, yet planners continue to overlook oral diseases, despite their significant impact on cost and quality of life. This oversight will lead to more decay and expensive, ineffective clinical interventions. (Yee R, Sheiham, 2002). Brushing teeth helps to remove food and plaque the sticky film that forms on your teeth and contains bacteria. American Dental Association (ADA) recommended that in addition to brushing teeth at least twice a day, person should floss daily, eat a healthy diet and limit between-meal snacks, replace toothbrush every three to four months or sooner if the bristles are frayed, and schedule regular dental checkups (American Dental Association, 2013). Fortunately, 96% of interviewed children were brushing their teeth, but only 33.8% never brushed their teeth. Though 33.8% never visited a dentist in
28 Pedodontics the last 12 months but still there is vast majority 66.2% of children did either once or more than four times and the main reason about 54.5% of children were visiting the dentist is because of pain in teeth or gum. Children found also that they consumed sugary food and drinks several time a day and moreover they are not regularly visiting the dentist; this explains the high component of dmft/ DMFT. Though enamel fluorosis free was 45.5% among all age groups but still different rankings of fluorosis incidences was discovered during this study about 54.5% and most of it was in the form of symmetrical diffuse. This can be explained by the fact that most areas in Bahrain are fluoridated and more over people consumption drinks and food from other sources that contain fluoride. Thus, an artificial adding of fluoride should be scientifically studied very well.
Conclusion Despite there is an overall minute improvement in oral health status of Bahraini 6, 12 and 15 year old children and mean of national DMFT =2.26 for 12 years-old is considered higher than the global standard DMFT for the year 2010 which should not be higher than (1) one (Hobdell et al, 2000 ), furthermore still there is a dental caries incidence among all age groups and an occurrence of gingival bleeding among all age groups also periodontal pocket 3-4mm and periodontal pocket more than 6mm was found in 15 year old children. Hence, it can be understood that childhood dental caries and periodontal diseases is a serious dental public health problem among Bahraini children, particularly the very young children. Prevalence of dental caries and periodontal disease are high across the Kingdom of Bahrain. Therefore, a serious action by all dental health services and authorities to prevent dental caries and periodontal diseases should become a priority, dental disease and periodontal diseases surveillance should be encouraged and as well as more studies should be carried out to tackle risk factors associated with same diseases, and implementation of strategies directing to prevent and control oral diseases in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Nevertheless, a mutual cooperation between all sectors governmental and private towards caries free generation should be addressed, and always one should not forget prevention is always better than curative services.

30 Endodontics
The effect of root preparation with Protaper® rotary files on the development of apical root cracks in mild and moderate fluorotic teeth Dr. Chems Belkhir: Professor of Endodontics University of Monastir chemsbelkhir@gmail.com
Key words Apical root crack, Protaper, working length, dental fluorosis.
Introduction Dental fluorosis is a common pathology in Tunisia. The majority of studies addressing this topic have focused on the histological characteristics, esthetic aspect and bonding problems of fluorotic teeth. The literature reviews involving structural and histological alterations of different tissues of the tooth crown are relatively few, even more rare those describing the root of fluorotic teeth. Many studies have described the adverse effects of different rotary Ni-Ti instruments on the apical third of sound dental roots but no study has reported their effects on the root of fluorotic teeth1,2,13. The aims of our study, involving the third apical of maxillary incisors and premolars presenting mild to moderate fluorosis, are: • To study the modifications observed in the apices of these teeth after endodontic treatment using Protaper® system. • To determine the risk of occurrence of apical cracks according to the degree of fluorosis (mild and moderate).
Materials and Methods Extracted human mandibular premolars and maxillary incisors with straight roots were selected for this study. The reasons for extraction and the age of the patients at the time of extraction were unknown. The roots were inspected for evidence of open apices, fracture lines, or anatomic irregularities and discarded if any of these characteristics were found. Seventy five teeth were finally selected and stored in distilled water throughout the study. Dental News, Volume XXIII, Number III, 2016
These teeth were divided into 4 groups according to Thylstrup and Fejerskov index: Group 1: fifteen maxillary incisors with mild fluorosis (TFI 1-3). Group 2: fifteen maxillary incisors with moderate fluorosis (TFI 4). Group 3: ten mandibular premolars with mild fluorosis (TFI 1-3). Group 4: ten mandibular premolars with moderate fluorosis (TFI 4). Group 5: fifteen maxillary incisors without fluorosis (control group). Group 6: ten mandibular premolars without fluorosis (control group). Tooth preparation The root was wrapped with a single layer of aluminum foil and embedded in autopolymerizing resin (Major Ortho®) set in an acrylic tube (12 mm high and 20 mm in diameter). The root was then removed from the tube, and the aluminum foil peeled off. The crowns were removed at 2 mm above the proximal cement enamel junction to ensure a straight-line access and to provide a reference plane. The apical surface surrounding the major apical foramen of each specimen was photographed with a stereomicroscope (Zeiss) under magnification of 4 and with a digital camera. The patency of the canal was checked, and the canal length was measured by inserting a #8 K-file into the canal until the tip of the file became visible through the major apical foramen. The distance between the file tip and the reference plane was defined as the canal working length (WL). A simulated periodontal ligament was represented by a hydrophilic vinyl polysiloxane impression material. The root surface and the ‘‘socket’’ were

32 Endodontics coated with a hydrophilic vinyl polysiloxane impression material (Examixfine, GC Corporation), and the root was immediately repositioned. Thus, the polysiloxane replaced the space created by the foil.
Statistical Analysis Fisher Exact Test was used to compare the number of cracks between fluorosed teeth and non fluorosed teeth. Statistical analysis were performed at a 5% significance level.
Root Canal Preparation The following sequence of Protaper® rotary files (Dentsply Maillefer) was used at 300 rpm to prepare the canals: an SX file was used to enlarge the coronal portion of the canal, and then the following files were used to working length – 0,5mm (WL-0,5mm): S1, S2, F1 and F2. Irrigation was performed with 33cc sodium hypochlorite at 2.5% before and after the passage of each instrument. China Ink (Le Coq®) was used in final rinsing to stain the root apex in order to reveal any cracks, and the teeth were then rinsed with water. A single operator performed all the procedures. After root preparation, the apical surface surrounding the major apical foramen of each specimen was photographed with a stereomicroscope (Zeiss) under magnification of 4 and with a digital camera.
Results Fisher Exact Test revealed no significant differences between the study groups: Comparison between fluorosed teeth and non-fluorosed teeth: p=0,28. Comparison between mild fluorosed teeth and non-fluorosed teeth: p=0,5. Comparison between moderate fluorosed teeth and non-fluorosed teeth: p=0,2. (Table 1) Comparison between fluorosed incisors and non-fluorosed incisors: p=0,35. Comparison between mild fluorosed incisors and non-fluorosed incisors: p=0,5. Comparison between moderate fluorosed incisors and non-fluorosed incisors: p=0,32. (Table 2). (Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6).

Comparison between moderate fluorosed premolars and non-fluorosed premolars: p=0,05. (Table 3). (Figures 7, 8, 9 and 10). Discussion Through this experimental study, we have studied the modifications observed after root shaping using Protaper® system at the apices of mild-tomoderate incisors and premolars and comparing them to those of sound teeth. Many studies have described the adverse effects of different rotary Ni-Ti instruments on the apical third 1,2 of sound dental roots but no study has reported their effects on the root of fluorotic teeth. In order to simulate the anatomic conditions in vitro, we have tried to reproduce the anatomical structures surrounding the tooth. The periodontal ligament plays the role of a damper of occlusal forces applied on the tooth due to hydraulic con-

tent of periodontal space (blood vessels and ground substance) acting as a room full of fluids that absorbs shocks. Low viscosity silicones are characterized by thermal stability, compression and tensile strengths. They act as shock absorbers. These characteristics make silicone the material of choice to simulate the periodontal ligament even though the complexity of its anatomic and biological aspects seems to be difficult to imitate 13. Thus, the use of silicone can cause changes in the distribution and dissipation of the forces applied on the tooth 1,2,16. Polymerization reaction of acrylic resin is exothermic; a relative dehydration of the tooth is noted. This dehydration decreases the elastic modulus of radicular dentin that becomes harder, thus more brittle2. Our in vitro study has shown that dental fluorosis mild and moderate doesn’t affect the capacity of radicular dentin to withstand, same as sound dentin, the forces caused by rotary endodontic files. Dentin tubules traverse the entire thickness of dentin. They contain relatively less inorganic material, but a

38 Endodontics higher collagen concentration (about 90%) in the intertubular dentin, which consists of 97% of Type I collagen. Peritubular dentin grows from the inner surface of the dentinal tubule cavity and forms a clear and highly mineralized layer that is structurally denser than the intertubular dentin, and it contains essentially no collagen 8-21. On the other hand, in response to the effects of severe enamel fluorosis, dentin shows hypermineralization, as found in other enamel disorders. Levels of Ca and P are also significantly higher than in healthy dentin 11-21. Dentin hypermineralization and hardness correspond to a structural pattern of sclerotic dentin, characterized by a narrowing of the lumen, and compaction of peritubular and intertubular dentin. This change in hardness has been also associated with the role of dentin as a possible biomarker for fluoride exposure 18-21. Vieira’s study has shown that for a fluorosis ITF0 to 4 the structural and mechanical modifications (elastic modulus) were limited 17. Another factor also intervening in the reduction of elasticity and flexural strength of dentin is sodium hypochlorite irrigant NaClO 3, 5, 6, 9. Besides the mechanical effect of flushing debris from the canal and lubricating instruments, sodium hypochlorite has an antibacterial wide spectrum and an ability to dissolve organic tissues14, 15. Some studies have proven that using NaClO as irrigant at high concentrations decreases the elastic modulus and flexural strength of dentin by altering its mechanical properties due to the degradation of organic components 4,7,10. For our study, a concentration of 2.5% was used. These alterations have not been proven with low concentrations of NaClO (0.5% to 2.25%) and shorter exposure time (1 to 10min). 7 Root canal shaping was performed using Protaper® system according to crown down concept. The progressive shaping of coronal and middle portions of the canal to the foramen makes easier the access of instruments to the apical portion. Some studies4 have proven that NiTi rotary systems can increase dentinal defects. Our study has shown that Protaper® induces little cracks in both sound and fluorotic teeth which can be explained by the technical features of the instrument. Protaper® has a convex triangular cross section that decreases the rotational friction between the blade of the file and dentin, an active blade Dental News, Volume XXIII, Number III, 2016
without radial land and a negative cutting angle that enhances the cutting action. Besides, Protaper® files each have a noncutting, modified guiding tip that decreases canal transportations. The taper and the diameter of the instrument may cause dentinal defects 12,19. Bier et al. study 4 has shown that the rate of occurrence of cracks and apical fractures depends on the diameter of the rotary instrument utilized for the preparation of the apical third. This study has demonstrated that dental roots presenting the highest number of cracks are those prepared with Protaper® system following the operative sequence to the file F3 (30/100 diameter and apical taper of 09). In our work, we have finished the preparation of the apical third to the file F2 (25/100 diameter and apical taper of 08) which can explain the low number of cracks observed. Sathorn et al. 12 confirmed our findings by demonstrating that keeping the apical foramen as small as possible decreases the risk of occurrence of radicular cracks and fractures. The excessive and extended contact between endodontic instruments and canal walls induces the appearance of high stress and pressure zones. It’s from this weakness zone that cracks arise. The excessive contact is particularly observed when big diameter files are utilized for the preparation of the apical third which is the most tapering portion thus the most fragile of the dental root 2. The position of the apical terminus also takes part in the occurrence of radicular cracks. Wu et al. 20 suggest locating working terminus at 2 to 3 mm short of the apical foramen in vital teeth and at 1 to 2 mm short of this foramen in necrotic teeth. This suggestion enables to keep the foramen as small as possible and gives the apical portion of the canal sufficient resistance and stiffness. Adorno et al. study 2 has shown that excessive removal of radicular dentin may predispose the root and particularly the apical third to cracks and even radicular fractures. The apical cracks were more numerous in teeth where working length is equal to the length of the radicular canal. This study concluded that leaving 1 mm of non-instrumented radicular dentin at the apical zone reduces the risk of occurrence of radicular cracks and fractures. For our study, we have chosen to stop our preparation at 0.5 mm short of the apex, thus allowing treating almost the entire apical portion with little damage of the apical radicular dentin.

References
At the end of this study, we can conclude that: • Mechanical preparation of the canal using Protaper® rotary files to WL-0.5mm induces fewer apical cracks in mild and moderate fluorotic incisors and premolars. • These fluorotic teeth are not more fragile than non fluorotic teeth at their apical portions. • There is no association between the severity degrees of fluorosis (mild, moderate) and the occurrence of apical defects.

PR. FOUAD KHOURY FROM GERMANY The 12th Dental days organized by the Faculty of Dentistry USJ are being held at the Campus of Medical Sciences in Beirut. The opening ceremony held on May 25 was preceded by a live webcast. Over 20 international speakers and 40 local speakers presented their work under the conference theme: “Innovations and Controversies.” About 1,000 delegates enjoyed 100 master lectures, live broadcasts, and practical workshops. More than 40 exhibitors presented their products in the gardens of the Campus. At the opening ceremony, Prof. Salim Daccache S.J. emphasized two points that mark the progress of the congress: “the first is this pertinent idea to gather all the students of the Faculty of Medicine USJ, those of the Lebanese University and the Beirut Arab University to attend to their peers and teachers at a meeting of young researcher named young podium to confirm that younger generations are an inherent part of any dynamic and practical Dental News, Volume XXIII, Number III, 2016
scientific research and the fact that they come together to help prepare future cooperation and mutual enrichment, especially in the field of dentistry. The aim is to identify innovations at the level of institutions or individuals, to assert them by discussion and debate and then put them into use in projects and partnerships. In this context, I can only emphasize the dynamic certification conducted by the Faculty of Dentistry with the goal of maintaining its position of excellence in Lebanon and the Arab world. It is true that technology has undoubtedly an important place in this area but any innovation can not put aside the human and moral element that characterizes any approach that seeks the well-being. It is in this sense that I see the importance of controversy in your approach, which seeks the best for the human individual and at community level. “

DR. YASSER AL GENDY, PRESIDENT OF THE EGYPTIAN DENTAL SYNDICATE
DR. AMED EMAD ELDIN, MINISTER OF HEALTH
Distinguished guests, Dear friends and colleagues, Many dentists have a negative perception of the syndicate, claiming that its role is confined to attesting their documents or private practice licenses, arranging some trips, and the little amount of pension they receive when they retire. For some, The role of the syndicate ends by receiving their membership cards. Our challenge is to prove the opposite. Our goal is to position the syndicate where it belongs; the umbrella that protects all dentists, and its social responsibility towards the community in general, and dental healthcare in particular. The role we are looking for is a coordinating role, not a dominating one. Thus we are extending our hands to all Dental News, Volume XXIII, Number III, 2016

relevant parties and stakeholders, Universities, ministry of health, ministry of higher education, the military, and even private sector, all aiming to achieve one main goal, proper dental healthcare service in Egypt. Tools are too much to be listed, but starts from proper licensing structure and credit hours, limiting the number of undergraduates, launching dental assistant schools, effecting the ruling of infection control allowance, organizing or rather harmonizing dental scientific events, and much more in our minds. Our power is in our unity. Welcome to EDSIC 2016, and I wish you a pleasant evening. Dr. Ehab Heikal Secretary, The Egyptian Dental Syndicate International Congress

One Year Program in Dental Implants Interview with Pr. Nabil Barakat the nineties. We started our first course in 1990 in Beirut, Lebanon. And the course will be given in Bahrain is to fulfill the requirement of the National Health Authority in Bahrain and all the GCC countries. Once you take that course that includes 250 hours of lectures, Hands-on and live transmissions, you will be able to place implants in your own office and do the prosthetic part. What is special with this program? The program is in association with a well know university in the area, the saint joseph university in beirut, and all the teachers in this program will be professors from this university.
Pr. Nabil Barakat is an Oral and Maxillo-Facial Surgeon from Loyola Dental School Chicago. He was the Founder and Chairman of the Department of Oral and Maxillo Facial Surgery at the Lebanese University Dental School from 1982 until 2006.

He occupied many positions, among them, President of the International College of Dentists Middle East Section, President of the East Mediterranean Association of Osseointegration, and Coordinator of the Post Graduate programs of the Lebanese University. He is the pioneer of Implant Dentistry in the Middle East and an International Lecturer. The editorial team of Dental News met Professor Nabil Barakat and asked him about the One Year Program.

I am an Oral and Maxillo-Facial Surgeon trained in Chicago and back to lebanon since 1970. in 1986 I met prof. Per-Ingvar Brånemark the discoverer of the osseointegration Phenomenon and we became friends and travelled the whole middle east into using dental implants during Dental News, Volume XXIII, Number III, 2016
How many implants will the dentist put? Each participant will place 10 implants. if he is placing the implant within the fourth session he will be able to uncover these implants and do the prosthetic part in the 7th or 8th session of 10 and therefore finish the case.
Course Description The course should give the participants theoretical, hands-on and clinical information about Dental implants. This course will cover all aspects of implant dentistry and is addressed to dental practitioners interested in implant dentistry for their practice.
Course Objectives • Assimilation of the fundamental principles, which are the basis for any intervention in this field. • Proper selection of the therapeutic armamentarium in order to find appropriate solution for all types of edentation. • To teach the participant the principle of applying the technique to the patient and not the patient to the technique.

Ultrasonic Implant Site Preparation technique using PIEZOSURGERY® PIEZOSURGERY® Implant Site Preparation, more commonly known as UISP Technique (Ultrasonic Implant Site Preparation Technique) was born from an intuition of Prof. Tomaso Vercellotti, followed and developed within the “International Piezosurgery Academy” and in collaboration with different research groups at the University. This method offers significant advantages in the healing process, preserving trabecular bone architecture and allowing both to reduce cortical and cancellous bone trauma with respect to the rotating instruments and to leave the bone surface thoroughly cleansed by milling residues. If we analyze site preparation techniques from the mechanical point of view, it is clear that the cutting action is promoted by a variable number of bumps of a cutting disk on the bone structure; the main difference between ultrasonic preparation and preparation with the drill consists precisely in the frequency of the impacts of the working part of the instrument on the bone mineralized structure. Fig 1
As in the traditional preparation with drills, the piezoelectric implant site preparation involves the use of a sequence of inserts with an increasing diameter with internal and external irrigation, to allow the placement of each type of implant; however, it is also possible to carry out one or more steps with drills in the case of particular geometries or implants with particular anatomical or clinical needs. The development of the UISP technique has led in a few years to the realization of many biomolecular, biomechanical, histological and radiographic studies, of which there is extensive bibliography available at www.piezosurgeryacademy.com. The first clinical results on the UISP technique applications have led to the publication of favourable case studies, including one published in 2014 on the International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry: a multicenter work carried out on 3579 implants with 3 years of follow-up which was conducted on mature edentulous ridges, as well as on regenerated, post-extraction sites and on advanced reconstructive surgery with simultaneous placement of implants.

In the ultrasonic technique, there are about 30,000 micro-shocks per second, whereas with drills these are a few dozens or hundreds. This is confirmed by the high micronization of the chips with ultrasonic preparation, and allows better control of the surgical instrument during osteotomy. Fig 2

Another milestone in the history of the UISP technique was in 2011 in Lugano during the 1st International Congress of the International Piezosurgery Academy, where the definition of “Ultra-osseointegration” was introduced and discussed to explain the biomolecular effects that ultrasonic preparation has made possible, as proven by a major study of the University of Turin, published by Prof. Preti et al. in the Journal of Periodontology in 2007.

preparation and the consequent healing physiology, showing a reduction of bone damage in sites prepared with the UISP technique compared to traditional drills. These studies have demonstrated the positive effects of the microsurgical precision cutting of ultrasounds and those of intensive cleaning by piezoelectric cavitation which frees the site from preparation drilling residues. In addition, other studies: • Stacchi et al. (Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research 2013) have shown, after the UISP preparation, a minor loss of stability of the implants in the early stages of healing. • Di Alberti et al. (Quintessence International 2010) have shown an higher peri-implant radiographic bone density in the UISP sites compared to those prepared with drills, suggesting an increased bone formation near the implant.

Therefore, with ultrasonic preparation, we have: 1. Greater number of vascular channels open in the bone cortex, 2. Less bone damage due to trauma or overheating. 3. Better cleaning of the site from preparation debris. 4. Lifting with endosteum cavitation from trabecular bone. 5. Faster or equal healing of the implants depending on bone quality. Ultrasonic implant site preparation was particularly advantageous in different clinical situations: Where immediate loading is chosen and it is imperative to try to obtain and maintain the highest possible stability. As is known, in these cases it is necessary to search for the cortical bone on which to engage the implants; the ultrasound action allows perceiving the different vibration between cortical and cancellous bone. • In post-extraction sites, in order to easily address the preparation axis as correctly as possible. • To correct a site initially prepared on an incorrect axis. • In the presence of poor bone quality or of a very thin cortical as is often the case the upper maxillar bone. • When it is necessary to preserve delicate tissues, such as the sinus membrane or the alveolar nerve that the ultrasonic vibration does not damage, unlike a rotary drill. In summary, ultrasounds determine less trauma to the bone structure, a more favourable healing response and a very low inflammatory phase with earlier bone reparative neo-apposition.
