In this episode of Straumann ProTalk Clinical, host Dr. Christian Jarry engages in an insightful discussion with Professor Shakeel Shahdad about the impact of SLActive®, hydrophilic surfaces on implantology, marking the 20th anniversary of this revolutionary technology. The conversation delves into the interactions between blood cells, bone cells, and implant surfaces, emphasizing the evolution and significance of implant surfaces in osseointegration. They discuss clinical experiences, research journeys, and the importance of evidence-based practices in improving patient outcomes. The episode highlights how hydrophilic surfaces have enhanced confidence in immediate implants and complex bone regeneration cases, setting a new standard in the field. Professor Shahdad's expert insights provide valuable knowledge for clinicians aiming to optimize implant stability and minimize patient morbidity. https://www.straumann.com/protalk   00:00 Introduction to Implant Surface Interaction 00:29 Celebrating 20 Years of SLActive® 00:40 Interview with Professor Shakeel Shahdad 02:20 The Importance of Implant Surface in Dentistry 05:34 Primary vs. Secondary Stability 07:57 Guided Bone Regeneration and SLActive® 14:40 Minimizing Morbidity in Implant Dentistry 14:59 The Role of Evidence-Based Practice 18:10 The Impact of SLActive® on Clinical Outcomes 20:33 Key Research in Implant Surface Technology 25:34 Translating Animal Studies to Human Applications 26:37 Impact of Key Research on Clinical Practices 27:01 Exploring Hydrophilic Implant Surfaces 28:04 Comparative Studies on Implant Surfaces 32:50 Clinical Trials and Patient-Specific Testing 34:35 Case Study: Overcoming Primary Stability Challenges 41:27 Insights on Implant Design and Bone Interaction 48:20 Concluding Thoughts and Future Directions
