ALL-NEW AND UPDATED FOR 2015! In this video lecture, Dr. Bill Schaeffer of London, England discusses short implants, why they work, and the unique advantages they offer to the clinician. Dr. Schaeffer also conducts a review of literature and discusses his first-hand experiences with short implants.

In this video, Dr. Rainier Urdaneta discusses how his practice of implant dentistry changed over the years, once he recognized the merits of using 5.0 and 6.0mm short implants. He was taught to use long implants, but now knows the use of short implants is better. Short implants can avoid the need for bone grafting […]

The Bicon System has its origins dating back to 1968. Initial research was conducted at Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio by Thomas Driskell. The original implant design of Mr. Driskell used high density aluminum oxide as the implant material. In 1981, Driskell introduced an implant named Titanodont which was made from titanium alloy. Then, […]
