my dental implant in an airplane thanks to their crestal micro-thread excellent low-cost one piece champions implants can easily be restored with prosthodontic restorations allowing bone to be laterally condensed with them excellent primary stability can be achieved optionally prep-caps which are available in different cementation heights can be cemented prep-caps allow for compensating implant divergences for many years long-term results have shown that these implants and prep-caps are also suitable for immediate implantations and esthetically sensitive front teeth situations article written by frank tschapka translation celina jelonek certainly you have read comments in the press about the implantation in an airplane a lot of people found the idea very good only a few were critical about it in fact the simple implantology is integrated in the routine dental care in my dental office as well earlier most patients had not opted for an implant treatment for the following reasons they believed that the treatment was too complicated and time-consuming and that it had to be performed by too many dentists before i had referred patients to implantology specialists myself most of all they believed that it was too expensive with this successful dental implantation in the airplane our dentist colleague he deserves that we call him our colleague dr armin nedjat showed to the media to the dentists and the patients that implantology was a regular discipline in dentistry like prosthodontics and periodontology and that dental implantation could be performed in any dental office and everywhere fig 1 during the press conference dr armin nedjat and his patients described their experience with the implantation in an airplane even in an airplane usually no special measures have to be taken if you can implant according to the minimally invasive method under adequate hygienic conditions of course for the dental implantation in the airplane dr armin used sterile dental tools drills and implants he was prepared very well and showed courage i don t know many dentists who would perform live surgery in front of thousands of colleagues and competitors in the industry in an unfamiliar area after implantation i did not even have to take painkillers and i just felt a little pressure that was not very painful i did not take any antibiotics as a sportsman i felt i had a strong immune system a day later i had fig 2 4 in front of the press including television and radio dr armin nedjat treated two patients for each patient he placed one champions implant in regio 14 then he cemented a zircon prep-cap everyone was surprised at how quick and bloodless the treatment had been.

some exercises during the championsvip conference in mainz a week after the implantation i participated in a marathon race on monday i could work again as a dentist in my dental office my medical history was after i had lost the tooth 14 i looked for a university clinic who said that i had to be treated for at least 6 months which would include a bone augmentation the costs were not that important to me but for many patients it is very important however during the master course in flonheim with dr armin i had the opportunity to see a live treatment after local anesthesia i received the same treatment i did not feel any pain i just felt that something was done actually i checked the bone cavity myself with a sterile kkk/bcc probe this implantation in the airplane was an exciting experience afterwards the press conference in the hyatt hotel in mainz was very interesting as well and all questions could be asked and answered during a course in our area in september armin removed my temporary restoration which was still splinted and then he cemented and fitted the final crown he showed me the pictures of the crowns fitted compared with a mimi implantation extracting a tooth may cause more bleeding and complication rates can be much higher in addition with mimi a bone augmentation is usually not necessary and the treatment generally does not take several months with a removable prosthodontic restoration unlike few other colleagues who may have another opinion than me i do not want to glorify implantation as a myth to earn a fortune instead i see implantation as a regular dental procedure for instance i got my tooth including a fixed temporary restoration without fig 5 7 view of the x-ray images of both patients and of the final crown in the site of tooth 14 fig 8 10 view of the implant with the prep-cap after the temporary restoration had been removed view of the ceramic crown with the champions® system which did not cause any problems i asked dr armin whether he could treat me with these dental implants as well he said yes but only in the airplane he needed a patient for the placement of just one implant in the first quadrant in case the other patient would not come because of sickness then i really was in a regular 55 passengerairplane the implantation for gerd the other patient took less than 5 minutes and a champions implant with a 3.5 mm-diameter implant was placed in regio 14 inserted at a torque of 50 ncm then in order to treat me all sterile dental tools and drills were prepared very quickly for gerd who had been treated with four immediate implants in regios 32-42 three days before surgery in the airplane and for whom the prosthodontic restoration was then fitted in july it was like my crown that was cemented and fitted in a few minutes it was great what do we conclude and learn from the dental implantation in the airplane we were glad that we had a colleague who taught us how to use the champions® system who gave us self-confidence that as dentists we could perform a safe successful and cost-efficient dental implantation in our own practices as well moreover it was said in the media that inserting implants and providing a prosthodontic restoration were less complicated than patients thought major interventions pain and high costs that s what s important to me depending on the anamnesis and indication i don t expect from my patients more than i expect from myself the minimally invasive procedure is integrated in the daily routine dental care in my dental office in 80 of the cases patients can be treated with implants most patients opt for dental implants and-like me they are very satisfied with them champions-implants gmbh bornheimer landstraße 8 d-55237 flonheim phone +49 0 67 34 91 40 80 fax email +49 0 67 34 10 53 info@champions-implants.com www.championsimplants.com
