SHORT® Dental Implants: Does Size Really Matter? [HD]

Posted on April 10, 2016 in Introductory, Scientific Lectures

ALL-NEW AND UPDATED FOR 2016! In this video, Dr. Bill Schaeffer of London 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 dental implants.

The Implant Book was Wrong, Longer is Not Better

Posted on September 8, 2015 in Case Studies

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 procedures and their associated morbity, expense, and pain.

The History of The Bicon Design

Posted on December 4, 2012 in Introductory

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, in 1985, he perfected his titanium implant design by patenting the DB Precision Implant, which is known today as the Bicon Dental Implant System. Whether Driskell knew it or not at the time he developed this implant system, his design coupled with the clinical support of Bicon has come to revolutionize implant dentistry by offering the innovations of SHORT® Implants, Integrated Abutment Crowns™, SynthoGraft™, and TRINIA™ and more.
