The world’s Number One dental Implant provider - Straumann Long recognised as one of the leading providers of dental implants, Straumann has now officially been recognised as the world’s number one provider of dental implant solutions in figures released earlier this year. Straumann’s success is built on the founding tripartite principles of reliability, simplicity and versatility and these principles, backed by an unrivalled level of over 20 years of clinical research have led to Straumann rightly claiming to have “the most extensively documented, clinically validated and practice- proven implant system in the market.” As the most practice-proven system on the market, the Straumann® Dental Implant System provides a unique combination of reduced healing time, long-term reliability, simplicity of use and a high degree of versatility. The Straumann® Dental Implant System requires only one surgical procedure and if appropriate, can be ‘immediately loaded’, to help practitioners achieve predictable results in any clinical indication. Now, Straumann’s pioneering approach encompasses not only dental implants, but also tissue regeneration and digital solutions.

IIn a randomized, controlled, observer blind, parallel group six month trial, Sharma et al concluded that for patients with gingivitis who brush and floss routinely, the adjunctive use of a mouthrinse containing essential oils (Listerine, Johnson & Johnson) provides a clinically significant and meaningful benefit in reducing plaque that can lead to gingivitis1. Mechanical methods of dental plaque removal have for many decades been based on the recommended twice daily toothbrushing and daily flossing, or other means of interdental cleaning2. For many patients, this mechanical routine does not appear to be entirely sufficient as supported by increasing incidence and prevalence data3. This long-term study demonstrates that the adjunctive use of an essential oil containing mouthrinse twice daily provides a meaningful and clinically significant incremental benefit to a recommended regimen of brushing twice daily and flossing once daily1. Dental professionals should consider recommending a brush, floss and rinse regimen to their patients when brushing and flossing are not enough to maintain gingival health1.
