VIENNA, Austria: Cortex Dental Implants invited participants of the EAO congress to join its industry satellite symposium, titled “A different view in immediate implant treatment”. Prominent speakers discussed the development of new standards for immediate loading based on new trends and designs considering bone physiology.

Dr Meir Mamraev from Israel presented the newest Cortex implant, Magix, which was designed for implant placement without drilling or with minimal drilling with a pilot drill, to create targeted control during implant insertion into the bone. “It is an innovative implant that preserves the bone and acts like a bone splitter, posing a decreased risk of perforations or fenestrations. It has great primary stability and control over the insertion axis,” explained Mamraev. It was launched one and a half years ago and since then, Mamraev has used it several times. “The geometry of the implant includes design elements with a very solid scientific basis,” he added.

A second innovation, Cortex’s guided surgery kit, was introduced by Dr Orlando Alvarez from Chile. According to him, it is very important for every implant system to respect the bone physiology because the bone is the biological support for long-term osseointegration. The distinguishing feature of the kit concerns the shape of the burs. Usually, burs are symmetrical; the Cortex bur, however, is not fully cylindrical because it has two flat sides. This extra space allows access to water during the drilling procedure, whereby a cooling effect is achieved, preventing the bone from being damaged. The product is currently in clinical testing and will be launched in mid-November.
