We know that the ancient Egyptians used dental implants

he idea of implants is not new. What’s exciting is the evolution of the procedure. The implants themselves and the

technology and understanding to place them are, today, on a totally elevated scientific plane and the most dramatic piece

of the advancement is the dental CAT scan. Now we can enter the surgical sight virtually and explore and scrutinize the area

before we actually enter it. We can design the surgery so it is uneventful, swift and successful. So, why do implants fail? For the

same reason the natural teeth failed and the etiologic factors that caused the loss of the natural teeth were never addressed and/

or never addressed well. Whereas the surgical aspects of the implant scene have progressed to digitalization, flat panels and

pixels, the clinical concepts have remained in the early 1800’s. This brings us to the next concept. We begin by stating that we do

not believe nature makes design errors – certainly not on a wholesale basis. So, the factory installed equipment with which we

were born should function rather well and if it doesn’t, it is not a design error but a factor of not feeding those biological systems

what they need, in order to do what they were programmed to do: namely, keep us healthy and well. If you see something you

should not see or feel something you should not feel, it is an indication that body systems are not functioning as they should for

if they were, you would not see or feel that. Thus the term Quin’talano (the essence of science): Keen observation with a trained

eye and deft interpretation with an educated mind. Probably the best known story as an example of Quin’talano is the discovery

of penicillin by Alexander Fleming. Here we have the first of the 2 topics for consideration: The Examination. The change here

is from a dental examination to an oral examination. This new examination adds just 2 minutes of real time to whatever is your

routine examination and exposes a plethora of crucial information never before evaluated thus giving you a comprehensive

picture of your patient supported by evidence of vital importance and elevating the dentist in the health care hierarchy to higher

levels of prestige, aura, responsibility and dignity; commensurate with a dramatic increase in income without adding additional

time, effort or staff. Also, no new equipment is needed but new thinking is a must.
