Dual-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) may improve detection of atrial fibrillation as well as differentiation of tachycardias. However, this advantage is undermined by complications associated with the second electrode, which is required in conventional dual chamber devices. Therefore, BIOTRONIK has developed a new electrode called the LinoxSMART S DX that, when used in conjunction with the Lumax DX ICD, offers dual-chamber detection without the risks associated with the...

FAQs
Osseointegration provides the biological basis for implant stability. After placement, new bone forms a stable connection with the implant, allowing the fixture to function as an anchor for the planned restoration. This connection matters because the implant must remain integrated before the abutment and final crown, bridge, or denture can support restored oral function.
Each component has a distinct role. The implant is anchored in the jaw, the abutment connects that implant to the visible restoration, and the crown, bridge, or denture replaces the missing tooth or teeth. Coordinating these parts lets treatment address different patterns of tooth loss while restoring chewing, speech, and oral structure.
Long-term results depend on several connected factors: accurate imaging, appropriate treatment planning, careful surgical technique, successful osseointegration, and ongoing maintenance. Imaging and planning guide the approach, surgery places the fixture in the intended position, and maintenance supports the condition of the completed restoration. Weakness in any stage can affect the overall outcome.
Treatment is adapted to the extent of tooth loss. A single missing tooth may be addressed with an individual crown, while multiple missing teeth may require a bridge. Full-arch treatment uses a denture or another planned restoration to rehabilitate an entire arch. These options extend the same restorative principles to different clinical situations.
Treatment begins with imaging and planning, followed by surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone. Osseointegration then establishes a stable bone connection. After that stage, an abutment is attached, and the selected crown, bridge, or denture is placed. The sequence links diagnosis, surgery, biological integration, and restoration.
Implants use titanium or another biocompatible material so the fixture can function within the jaw while supporting osseointegration. Imaging supplies information needed for treatment planning before surgery, helping the clinical team coordinate implant placement with the intended restoration. Together, material compatibility and imaging support a predictable connection between the fixture, bone, and replacement teeth.
Maintenance is part of the treatment pathway rather than an optional final step. The overview identifies maintenance, alongside imaging, planning, surgical technique, and osseointegration, as a factor influencing long-term outcomes. Continued care therefore helps support the completed implant restoration as it serves chewing, speech, and oral-structure needs.
