The wide fixture: a solution for special bone situations and a rescue for the compromised implant. Part 1.

PubMed (1993)

Burton Langer Laureen Langer I Herrmann L Jörnéus

This paper describes a new 5.0-mm-diameter self-tapping implant, a modification of the standard Brånemark fixture designed to increase the amount of bone-to-titanium surface contact and to capture dense bone at the lateral and crestal borders of the alveolus. Indications for its use include (1) areas of inadequate bone height, (2) areas of poor bone quality (type IV), and (3) immediate replacement of non-integrated or fractured implants. This preliminary report discusses the design alterations and surgical techniques available to treat these difficult bone situations.

Periodontal Soft Tissue Root Coverage Procedures: Practical Applications From the AAP Regeneration Workshop

Clinical Advances in Periodontics (2015)

C.R. Richardson Edward P. Allen Leandro Chambrone Burton Langer Shelley McGuire

Focused Clinical Question: How should gingival recession (GR) defects be managed based on current evidence? Summary: The purpose of this practical application is to illustrate the management of GR defects with a primary outcome goal of complete root coverage. The consensus in dental literature and among expert clinicians is that root coverage may be attained through the application of different procedures and that outcomes are generally measured by reduced defect depth, gain in clinical attachment, and an increase in keratinized tissue (KT). These procedures may include the use of: 1) subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG); 2) coronally advanced flap; 3) free gingival graft; and 4) soft tissue graft substitutes (acellular dermal matrix and xenogeneic collagen matrix materials) and biologics (recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor and enamel matrix derivative). The variability in these techniques revolves around the inclusion or avoidance of a palatal donor graft. The decision as to how to approach a specific clinical GR-type defect should be a combination of considerations relative to the clinician's surgical goals and the patient's understanding of the anticipated outcome. The associated systematic review (Chambrone and Tatakis, J Periodontol 2015;86(Suppl.):S8-S51) provides clear evidence that SCTG-based procedures provide the best outcome for mean and complete root coverage, as well as an increase in KT. Patient-reported outcomes, a topic that needs additional research, should be considered in the decision-making process. Conclusion: Based on the available evidence and the illustrated cases included in this practical application, root coverage can be predictably achieved and a successful clinical outcome can be maintained long term.

The successful application of osseointegrated implants to the posterior jaw: a long-term retrospective study.

PubMed (1993)

Marc L. Nevins Burton Langer

This long-term study has demonstrated the successful use of osseointegrated implants to replace posterior teeth in the partially dentate patient. A total of 1,203 Nobelpharma implants placed by two periodontists practicing in traditional office settings were included in the survey. Of the 551 implants placed in the mandible, 25 failed, for a success rate of 95.5%. Of the 247 mandibular prostheses fabricated for 200 mandibles, 8 failed, for a prosthesis stability rate exceeding 97%. Of the 652 implants placed in the maxilla, 31 failed, for a success rate of 95.2%. Of the 250 maxillary prostheses fabricated for 193 maxillae, 2 failed, for a success rate exceeding 99%. The results compare favorably to previous reports in terms of implant survival and stability.

The regeneration of soft tissue and bone around implants with and without membranes.

PubMed (1996)

Burton Langer

The popularity of osseointegration for the replacement of anterior teeth has placed an increased demand on the preservation of normal gingival anatomy. This has led to the development of a variety of soft-tissue and bone-augmentation techniques that either prevent tissue collapse or restore previously damaged areas of the alveolus. With bone grafts, barrier membranes, and autogenous connective-tissue grafts used in combination with each other or separately, lost structures can be reconstructed into a normal configuration for optimum esthetic restorations.

Methods of Altering Crestal Levels: Clinical Case Reports

Journal of Periodontology (1979)

Burton Langer Barry Wagenberg

Selected cases have been presented using different techniques to alter crestal levels. Self Regeneration or Autogenous bone grafts have been most successful in cases of three-wall and two-wall infrabony lesions. When a hemiseptal lesion occurs on the mesial of a tooth an uprighting procedure can be accomplished. When there is an adjacent tooth a forced eruption technique using orthodontic forces can be used. A surgical elevation technique has been presented which also has shown positive changes in bony topography.
