In a world increasingly being driven by demands for immediacy, dentistry has had to develop at every level to deliver the speedy, efficient and affordable procedures which both practitioners and their patients’ desire.
Digital dentistry has accelerated the ability to achieve predictable, precise and long-lasting clinical results.
Fast and immediate restorations which are both fully functional and aesthetically pleasing are a key demand of today’s informed and savvy patient who will actively seek out dentists able to perform smile restorations that look and feel good, which are affordable and, importantly, fulfil their desire for instant results.
Short treatment times are equally appealing to clinicians because they reduce chairside time and open up opportunities to increase revenue for the dental practice by treating more patients.
Additionally, scientific and clinical studies have shown that minimally invasive treatments which allow immediate restoration improve osseointegration and therefore lead to better implant success. As a result, procedures which deliver on these demands will boost patient take-up and practice growth.
The Sky is the limit
Bredent’s Sky fast and fixed implant therapy continues to evolve with input from experienced implantologists, prosthodontists and dental technicians to enable extraction, implantation and immediate restoration with a fixed prosthesis. This can be carried out in just one day without the requirement for a major augmentation procedure.
Due to angular placement of the implants, the use of the native bone could be optimised, and perfect biomechanical support of the restoration is achieved.
Perfectly matched superstructure materials from the Bredent group for the Sky fast and fixed therapy allow the fabrication of the provisional restoration in less than two hours post-op in conventional workflow, or even before the surgery in digital workflow, so guaranteeing effective and efficient immediate restoration.
Introduced in 2007, the German implants company has invested in engineering a system with a multi-faceted profile specifically designed to fulfil smile restoration expectations safely and in a short space of time.
The Sky fast and fixed implant therapy offers key advantages at every stage of its delivery. Its routine, standardised procedures make it cost-effective for patient and clinician alike, and with easy-to-follow processes in place, treatment predictability is ensured. This mitigates any risk of error, complication or, indeed, patient disappointment.
‘Additionally, the immediate full-arch restoration makes it possible to manage approximately 80% of cases using this standardised protocol.’
‘We have over 99% success rate. The advantages are astonishing.’
Dr Michael Weiss specialises in implant dentistry. He says: ‘The clinical results with Sky fast and fixed are sensational – the system has delivered much more than promised. The results are better than with delayed immediate implantation – not only regarding patient satisfaction, but with the whole process – and the clinical outcomes after 15 years are great.”
He adds: ‘Today, 95% of our implant patients are restored immediately and the Sky fast and fixed implant therapy works fantastically. We have an over 99% success rate. The advantages are astonishing.’
The solution is minimally invasive, and the advantages are not only that the patient has a temporary restoration immediately, but also that we preserve the tissues. We stabilise the hard and soft tissues, the papillae, gingival contour, and so on.
He concludes: ‘Using Sky fast and fixed is an absolute win-win situation. It is economically rewarding for both sides – for the practice as well as for the patient. Less chairside time spent, shorter organisational processes, better economic outcome for the clinic and for the patient.’
Totally shifted
Professor Dr Hakan Özyuvacı agrees: ‘The Sky fast and fixed therapy gives you wonderful primary stability, wonderful biologic surfaces and the immediate loading blows patients away. Of course, all implants should be sterile but Bredent medical has a certification from the Clean Implant Foundation which adds another layer of confidence in the system.’
Dr Burzin Khan, a prosthodontist and implantologist adds: ‘What struck me was the primary stability of the system, and the ease of use of the treatment. The tilting of the distal implants is something I always wanted to try and with Sky fast and fixed, I felt that the components and biomechanics were much better than anything I had encountered. I have totally shifted to Sky fast and fixed.’
Dr Suresh Chohan says: ‘With Bredent, I was drawn to the fact there was a wide range of implant options: tissue level implants, bone level implants, subcrestal implants, and ultrashort implants. These are ideal when dealing with a range of different situations.
‘It was therefore a no brainer to switch to the Bredent Sky system which I use in 99.5% of my cases. I also love the fact that it is a simplified prosthetic process. You can use the same surgical kit for all these different implants, and it comes with the drills too.’
The pioneer in immediate tour
For the last 15 years, the Bredent group has promoted protocols for immediate restoration, and in particular the Sky fast and fixed concept.
The company is now inviting doctors and their teams to attend Pioneer in Immediate. Here, they will be able to learn about the advances in modern implant dentistry and gain the winning edge for their practice and laboratory.
