@dentistrytoday: "Screw loosening causes many complications that may contribute to crestal bone loss, screw fracture, implant fracture, or implant failure." Here's an idea — why not design an implant system without screws? 😎 https://t.co/7wQjcvg5pu
Dr. Shadi Daher explains why one of Bicon’s earliest SHORT® Implants became so iconic. Decades of clinical success began with a simple principle — more functional surface area where it matters most. #Bicon#OnlyBicon#ShortImplants#DentalImplants#ImplantDentistry #BiconIsASolution #ImplantDesign #ClinicalProof #SurfaceArea
When bone height is lost, bone width often remains. Dr. Shadi Daher explains how the concept behind the Bicon SHORT® Implant was inspired by mandibular anatomy, utilizing dense cortical bone rather than relying on implant length. #Bicon#OnlyBicon#ShortImplants#DentalImplants #ImplantDentistry #BiconIsASolution #ImplantDesign #AnatomyMatters #NoSinusLift #NoGrafting
What looks like 15mm of available bone on a Panorex may become 5 or 6mm in reality. Dr. Shadi Daher discusses the anatomical limitations that make short implants invaluable in the anterior mandible. #Bicon#OnlyBicon#ShortImplants#DentalImplants#ImplantDentistry #BiconIsASolution #AnatomyMatters #ImplantPlanning #NoSinusLift #NoGrafting
Why does Bicon place the connection below the crest? Dr. Geoffrey Pullen explains how a proven bacterial seal and force distribution over the sloping shoulder help maintain bone where other systems often lose it. #Bicon#OnlyBicon#ShortImplants#DentalImplants#ImplantDentistry #BiconIsASolution #BacterialSeal #CrestalBonePreservation
Limited bone height is only part of the story. Dr. Shadi Daher explains that while the sinus and inferior alveolar nerve get most of the attention, root proximity, buccal concavities, exostoses, and the submandibular fossa can be equally limiting. When anatomy restricts your options, SHORT® Implants become essential. #Bicon #OnlyBicon #ShortImplants #DentalImplants #ImplantDentistry #BiconIsASolution #AnatomyMatters #ImplantPlanning #NoSinusLift #NoGrafting
Need to remove a restoration without risking damage to the crown? The Bicon Crown Removal Forceps make disengaging the locking taper simple, predictable, and safe. Color-coded protective tips help safeguard the restoration while providing precise control for both removal and delivery of extra-orally cemented crowns. Two instruments. One intuitive technique. ONLY BICON! #Bicon #OnlyBicon #DentalImplants #ImplantDentistry #DentalTechnology #DentalInnovation #BiconIsASolution
Using hand reamers and careful depth control Dr. Shadi Daher placed an ultrashort 5.0 x 5.0mm Bicon implant directly at the sinus floor without violating the sinus membrane or performing grafting. Six years later the implant remains stable with consolidated bone around the shoulder. #Bicon #OnlyBicon #ShortImplants #DentalImplants #ImplantDentistry #BiconIsASolution #NoSinusLift #NoGrafting #HandReamers
Rather than attempting everything at once, Dr. Geoffrey Pullen prefers to slowly establish implant support over multiple phases, allowing patients to maintain function and aesthetics throughout treatment. #Bicon#OnlyBicon#ShortImplants#DentalImplants#ImplantDentistry #BiconIsASolution #ImplantWorkflow #FullArchRehab #ImplantPlanning #LongTermSuccess
Dr. Geoffrey Pullen explains that osseointegration is not the same across systems. Threaded implants rely on pressure and produce appositional bone, while Bicon’s protocol promotes Haversian bone formation that is denser and more responsive to functional load. #Bicon#OnlyBicon #ShortImplants #DentalImplants #ImplantDentistry #BiconIsASolution #HaversianBone #PlateauDesign
Screw connections do not fully seal. Under function, microgaps open and close, drawing in bacteria and fluids. Dr. Geoffrey Pullen explains how this contributes to bone loss around conventional systems — and how Bicon is clearly different! #Bicon#OnlyBicon#ShortImplants #DentalImplants #ImplantDentistry #BiconIsASolution #BacterialSeal #ImplantDesign #NoMicrogap #PeriImplantHealth
Short implants were once reserved for cases with limited bone. Today, Dr. Geoffrey Pullen uses them as a first choice — simpler placement, predictable outcomes, and reliable performance. #Bicon#OnlyBicon#ShortImplants#DentalImplants#ImplantDentistry#BiconIsASolution #LongTermSuccess #RadiographicProof #ImplantSuccess #LongTermStability #NoGraftNeeded
Dr. Geoffrey Pullen demonstrates that when bone height is limited above the nerve, ultra-short Bicon implants offer a predictable alternative to grafting with fewer complications and consistent long-term outcomes. #Bicon#OnlyBicon#ShortImplants#DentalImplants#ImplantDentistry #BiconIsASolution #LongTermSuccess #RadiographicProof #ImplantSuccess #LongTermStability #NoGraftNeeded
Prof. Mauro Marincola explains why implant length becomes less critical when using Bicon’s plateau design and sloping shoulder, which distribute forces and preserve crestal bone over time. #Bicon#OnlyBicon#ShortImplants#DentalImplants#ImplantDentistry#BiconIsASolution #PlateauDesign #SlopingShoulder #SeeingIsBelieving
Dr. Geoffrey Pullen explains that osseointegration is not the same across implant systems — threaded implants cause bone dieback and appositional healing, while Bicon’s plateau design, slow reaming, and press-fit surgical protocol promote callus-like Haversian bone formation that strengthens over time and responds to stress. #Bicon #OnlyBicon #ShortImplants #DentalImplants #ImplantDentistry #BiconIsASolution #LongTermSuccess #PlateauDesign #HaversianBone
