40 Years of Dental Innovations
Interview with Peter Brehm - CEO of the bredent group
Marianne Steinbeck, Project Manager,
BDIZ EDI konkret / EDI Journal
The 40th anniversary is the culmination of the company‘s history as one of the last family-run
and yet internationally operating
key companies in the dental sector. Initially a specialized dentaltechnical provider, bredent has
now become a supplier of comprehensive implant-prosthetic
materials and technology - from
the high-performance polymer BioHPP to the closed digital workflow. Marianne Steinbeck, Project Manager BDIZ EDI
konkret / EDI Journal uses the
forthcoming date for a conversation with the CEO, Peter Brehm.
Marianne Steinbeck: bre-dent,
that is Brehm-Dental, the name
says it all. How can a family-run
company that is located in the Hochlohnland in Germany maintain its
strong position in the dental market
which has been highly competitive especially during the past few
years?
Peter Brehm: It is the claim of
the bredent group to be among
the best and to be a role model in
the dental sector. For this purpose
it is necessary to have one’s ears
and eyes wide open to the market
but also to the own company so
that we can identify the needs of
our customers and employees and
fulfill them. The resulting information creates the basis for continu-
ous innovations based on quality
„Made in Germany“. This promise is
still synonymous for highly qualified employees and profound
know-how, production
with local roots
and precision
craftsmanship. In combination with the
abundance of ideas
and the suggestions of
our customer, the resulting solutions offer real added value
to assert oneself against competitors and to avoid the fact that the
price becomes the sole decision
criterion.
Marianne Steinbeck: How often
do you have discussions based on
the motto „cheap is cool“?
Peter Brehm: Such discussions are
always held if one can be reduced
to a single product. The bredent
group which consists of bredent
to preserve the
oral health, in particular the hygiene, using
our therapeutic concepts and
system solutions. It is essential to
restore the health with esthetic affordable restorations that are easy
to clean and to make sure that
the profit which is necessary for
practices or laboratories can be
achieved.
An innovative and helpful example
in this context is the SKY fast & fixed
therapeutic concept which enabled
us to offer a standardized protocol ranging from implant placement to the temporary restoration
to patients of the generation „50
plus“ who are facing edentulousness. They can leave the practice
on the same day and have a fixed
implant-supported restoration.
The resulting economic benefits
do not only convince the patients
concerned but also the attending
dentists and dental technicians. As
a result, the discussions mentioned
before can be avoided.
Marianne Steinbeck: After purchasing the SKY implant system
from Prof. Manfred Lang in Decem-
and bredent medical considers
itself a full-line dental provider
which offers harmonized therapeutic concepts and system solutions
to surgeons, prosthodontists and
dental technicians as well. The resulting symbiosis of dentistry and
dental techniques puts the focus
exclusively on the benefits, wishes
and needs of the patients.
It is important for us to enable
the dental team consisting of the
dentist and the dental technician
Peter Brehm
CEO bredent group
ber 2004, bredent soon involved the
dental technician. A brilliant idea,
as we know today. What was your
motivation to be a pioneer?
Peter Brehm: Especially in the field
of dental techniques, the bredent
group can look back on 40 years of
own experience and manufacturing. The fact that this know-how
is reflected in the implant business
from the beginning with the focus
on implant prosthetics, is the logical consequence and only defines
what should be combined in reality.
We are very grateful to Dr. Bayer
and his colleagues from Landsberg
- they introduced the SKY fast &
fixed concept in our company and
entrusted us with the project of the
implant-prosthetic symbiosis.
Marianne Steinbeck: With the SKY
fast & fixed concept you have
opened a highly innovative segment
once again and you have gained renowned international experts and
users for this system - where do
you see the special indication and
advantages in the practical use?
Peter Brehm: As already mentioned, SKY fast & fixed is a comprehensive therapeutic concept
to offer patients who are facing
edentulousness an affordable fixed
implant-supported bridge restoration - in numerous cases within
one day - and to help them regain
lost quality of life, self-esteem and
self-confidence.
If these patients (normally between
45 and 65 years old) are informed,
that their last teeth need to be
extracted, this is frequently accompanied by the stigma of being old
40 Years of Dental Innovations
and useless and the loss of quality
of life, self-esteem and self-confidence. After all, this group of individuals, is frequently socially and
professionally exposed and simply
feels that they are too young to
wear a removable denture.
The use of SKY fast & fixed allows
to offer immediate restorations
to these patients with a reduced
number of implants and prosthetic
components as well as matched
dental materials. This concept has
proved its reliability in more than
20,000 patients and its effectiveness for immediate implant restorations has been confirmed for
more than seven years.
Although almost all implant manufacturers offer similar components
now, we are still the only company
that offers all materials - from the
implant to the temporary and definitive restorations -, e.g. with
the visio.lign veneering system. For
the dental practice, this standardized concept means that the entire
team will be familiar with the work
processes and that each patient can
be treated in the best possible way
with a limited amount of surgery.
Moreover, thanks to successful referral marketing, SKY fast & fixed
has become a source of growth for
numerous practices since satisfied
patients who were convinced by
the therapeutic concept sent new
patients to the practice, who also
wished to receive fixed teeth.

beginning of a development in
which we - as the bredent group want to play a key role.
Marianne Steinbeck: As far as
events are concerned, and this applies certainly also to the International SKY Meeting in May 2014,
you have repeatedly emphasized
the hygiene capability of the implant-prosthetic restorations; you
are focusing on biofilm management and innovative, more resistant materials ...
SKY fast & fixed: therapeutic success based on more than 7 years of experience and
20,000 patients treated worldwide
Marianne Steinbeck: In your opinion, what will be the new trends
in prosthetics, and especially in
implant prosthetics in the next few
years?
Peter Brehm: New prosthetic materials based on high-performance
polymers, such as the ceramicreinformce BioHPP,
are going
to change prosthetics drastically
within the next few years.
We have been working with these
materials for years and - with the
for 2 press vaccum press device and
BioHPP - we offer a system solution
to make sure that laboratories can
process the new material in a dependable and safe manner.
The enormous demand after the IDS
2013 showed that we have identified the latest trend and posed a
major challenge for our logistics
system. Numerous users have immediately recognized its inherent
potential - whether as an individual SKY elegance abutment with
white shade and off-peak properties, onto which, for example, a
ceramic crown can be attached, or
as a monolithic crown abutment
for which BioHPP which is pressed
to the titanium base without the
formation of a gap is directly veneered with the visio.lign veneering
system.
Thanks to it elasticity which is similar to that of natural bone, BioHPP
provides tremendous advantages,
regardless whether screw-retained
or telescopic restorations need to
be fabricated. Here we are at the

Peter Brehm: The biofilm and the
hygiene capability are in fact our
major concerns. There is still a
lot of effort required by dentists
and dental technicians. Above all
patients must be better informed
about the risks of the biofilm to the
general health.
To some extent, this was also one
of the reasons why we have integrated the antimicrobial photodynamic HELBO therapy (aPDT) into
the bredent group, We have wanted
and still want to establish scientific
proven procedures for almost painless control of infections in the
biofilm all over the world for more
than ten years.
As a global leader of individual,
transversal screw-retained restorations we consider it our task to

advance the development in the field of
partially removable
restorations because
we believe that this
is the only way to ensure permanent success of the implant
restorations.

well as „Digital Workflow“ will be
outlined and discussed with renowned international lexturers and,
of course, participants from May
22 to 24, 2014 during the bredent
group days SKY Meeting 2014 in
Berlin.
Marianne Steinbeck: We look forward to many more years and ideas
and thank you for this interview.

Innovations Based on Therapeutic Concepts
SKY elegance abutments - the smart way to immediate or
delayed restorations with BioHPP high-performance polymer
bredent medical has opened new
horizons in implant prosthetics
by introducing the new prefabricated SKY elegance abutments.
The SKY elegance abutment combines both the properties of a
temporary and a definitive abutment and hence allows drastic
reduction of the treatment steps.
As a result, maximum protection
of the gingiva is guaranteed and
the treatment time is reduced for
users and patients as well.
The SKY elegance titanium base,
which was presented during the
IDS 2013 and which enables dental
technicians to fabricate individual
hybrid abutments made of BioHPP
and titanium, has exceeded the
high expectations by far. The properties of a material combination
consisting of a titanium base and
a pressed-on coat of the ceramicreinforced high performance polymer BioHPP have convinced the
users. The „off-peak“ and „white
shade“ material properties result
in a reduction of the forces on the
implant, minimized stress of the
bone and avoidance of dark shadows in the gingiva to ensure perfect esthetic results. Moreover, the
soft tissue responds very positively
to BioHPP, in particular as far as
gingival attachment is concerned.
These properties are now also of-

gingiva is not traumatized. Conventional or digital procedures can
be used for the impression and

means that the SKY elegance abutment is perfectly suitable for the
applications like a zirconium abutment.
fered by six different prefabricated
types of the SKY elegance abutment.
Since the bone-like properties of
the SKY elegance abutment provide
protection against overloading, it
can be placed immediately during
surgery and a temporary restoration
can be fabricated in cases of adequate primary stability. The definitive restoration can be fabricated a
few weeks later and the abutment

scanner and CAD/CAM fabrication
thanks to the suitability of BioHPP
for scanning. Since it is not required
to screw in any gingiva formers and
impression abutments, users will
save time during chairside treatment and the clinical results can
also be improved.
The SKY elegance abutment is, of
course, also suited for delayed immediate restorations or for classic
and the range of angled abutments
- from 0 to 15 degrees - available
in three different diameters (S, M
and L) each gap can be closed so
that only minor modifications of
the gingival line are required. The
prefabricated SKY elegance abutment can be used for crown and
bridge restorations made of ceramic, metal and BioHPP or as a crown
abutment in combination with the
visio.lign veneering system.
The six designs of the prefabricated
SKY elegance abutments can be
easily customized at the chairside.

Asked for you...
Ensuring the long-term success of implants
the focus of the bredent group days
2014 expressly on biofilm management and regeneration?
Prof. Dr. Dr. Anton Sculean
University of Bern
Healthy, white teeth and a bright
smile are not only symbols for
beauty and attractiveness but
there is also broad acceptance in
studies associating healthy teeth
and gums with the health of
the entire organism and a series
of serious systemic diseases. Together with users, the bredent
group considers it a task to provide treatment concepts and systems to support proven methods
for the preservation of the oral
health, in particular functional
hygiene, but also to offer restorations that are easy to clean
and enable permanent functional
and esthetic rehabilitation. The
provider, which is normally associated with dental-technical
and prosthetic hardware, therefore puts the focus of one of the
main subjects of the international
bredent group days from May
22-24, 2014 in Berlin on biofilm management. Mrs. Marianne
Steinbeck talked to one of the
key speakers and acknowledged
expert in this field, Prof. Dr. Dr.
Anton Sculean, Bern/Switzerland.
Marianne Steinbeck: During major
events in the field of implant dentistry the focus is frequently on
hardware and technology - why is
Prof. Dr. Dr. Sculean: It is correct, the efforts in implant dentistry
concentrated on the mechanicaltechnical aspects of insertion and
prosthetics. Today thorough planning, perfect preparation of the
osseous imlant site and careful aftercare and hence biofilm management play decisive roles to ensure
the long-term success of implants
since this is what our patients who
need to invest a lot of money are
mostly interested in - in addition
to the esthetic improvement of the
oral situation.
Marianne Steinbeck: What are the
most essential issues in implant
dentistry and which ones will be
dealt with during the congress?
Prof. Dr. Dr. Sculean: Today, above
all the avoidance and successful
treatment of peri-implant diseases
are key factors in implant dentistry.
We are currently witnessing how
serious the consequences can be if
we do not attach the appropriate
relevance to the aspect of implant
aftercare. Consequences may be
periimplantitis or even implant loss.
A change is required if we intend to
treat our patients in a predictable
manner with implants in future
as well.
Marianne Steinbeck: Can the participants in Berlin look forward to
special new materials and innovative technologies?
Prof. Dr. Dr. Sculean: I support
this congress because I have gained
new results on minimally invasive
and safe treatment of periodontal
and periimplant diseases in connection with my studies that I
would also like to present there:
for me, aPDT (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) that is offered by
HELBO represents a complementary
procedure and an alternative to
conventional methods. Although
photodynamics have been scientifically examined and tested in
general medicine and in the dental
sector for about 15 years, still represent a groundbreaking innovation for many female and male
colleagues. Moreover I know that
bredent - based on the symbiosis of
dental-technical and dental knowhow and competence - has made
every effort for 40 years to provide
„Perfect implant-prosthetic solutions through innovative materials
and technologies“. This is also the
motto of the congress; I am sure
that we may look forward to other
exciting innovations.
Marianne Steinbeck: What is the
importance of a concept such as
SKY fast & fixed in modern dentistry in your opinion?
Prof. Dr. Dr. Sculean: Immediate
placement of implants and rehabilitation of edentulous ridges allow
to fulfill the wishes of numerous patients. Reduced therapy time
and cost control are key factors in
this context. Nevertheless suitable
framework conditions need to exist
for such a concept in order to be
able to meet the high expectations.
It needs to be clearly stated that
not all basic situations are suitable
for the use of the concept! Initially,
the overall situation must be clearly
analyzed to obtain a basis for the
decision. In addition to thorough
examination of the bone substance
available, some results of studies
seem to suggest that treatment
with the HELBO system after tooth
extraction and prior to immediate placement of implants allows
inflammatory processes to subside
more quickly and has a positive
influence on wound healing in general. Besides the necessary perfect combination of dentistry and
dental techniques is certainly very
important; accordingly providers of
concepts need to offer perfect solutions for both sectors; this is what
bredent does.
Marianne Steinbeck: You are considered to be an expert in the field
of photoynamics for many years. In
the meantime some providers have
established themselves in the market with different concepts which
makes the decision for dentists
more difficult - what is your opinion about this?
Prof. Dr. Dr. Sculean: Basically, I
think it is good for the user to have
a choice and to be able to decide
in favor of the procedure that is
most suitable for his requirements.
However, in the case of PDT I think
that there are some elementary
preconditions including the fact
that a marketed procedure must be
scientifically tested in vitro and in
vivo and its effectiveness has been
confirmed. In addition to the effectiveness, it needs to be determined
whether a therapy has any undesired side effects. Moreover, I con-

sider the use of sterile products, e.g.
the dye solution, in these bacterially contaminated areas mandatory.
From today‘s perspective these essential criteria that were addressed
are fulfilled by the HELBO therapy,
which is also confirmed by the fact
that - due to the data available one of the largest private health
insurance companies of Germany
issued official accounting and billing recommendations and only the
HELBO procedure fulfills the necessary preconditions. So if you don‘t
want to rely on the statements of
providers, the advantage of having
a choice must be carefully weighed
off against the disadvantage of a
necessary and thorough examination of the procedures that are
available.
Marianne Steinbeck: Thank you
very much for your explanations.

In the editions of Implants
03/2013 of oemus Media AG and
the European Journal of Esthetic Dentistry 04/2013 of Quintessenz, articles were published
about SKY fast & fixed and about
the whiteSKY zirconium implants.
Both publications report positively and emphasize the successful use.

SKY fast & fixed as an alternative treatment in cases of periodontitis profunda
Dr. Regina Schindjalova (Varna, Bulgaria)
The experienced SKY fast & fixed
user Dr. Schindjalova (Varna, Bulgaria) shows the consequences of
periodontitiis profunda in a detailed x-ray analysis. The remaining
teeth of the female patient were
not worth preserving.
Since the patient was only 44 years
old, it was quite obvious that she
wanted to have a fixed denture; the
author fulfilled her wish by utilizing
the SKY fast & fixed therapeutic
concept.
Based on this typical case, Dr.
Schindjalova demonstrates the
possibilities of SKY fast & fixed
without augmentation in the case
of considerably reduced amount of
bone. She used wax set-ups from
the beginning to give her patient an
idea of the future restoration.

In her summary, the author notes
that the SKY fast & fixed therapy
is particularly beneficial for this
patient group since placement of
implants at specific angles makes
optimum use of the available bone
and avoids complex augmentation

Fabrication of implant abutments using high-performance
polymers
Dr. Alexandros Manolakis et al.
The high-performance polymer
BioHPP could become a real
alternative to ceramic materials for the fabrication of dental implant restorations so that
dental technicians may be able
to fabricate esthetic restorations more easily and at reduced
costs compared to all alternative
ceramic restorations.
The technique of pressing
BioHPP to the titanium base
without the formation of a gap
to fabricate a crown abutment
results in an enhanced marginal
seal of the restoration, which
has a positive effect on the
gingiva around the implant and
produces an improved esthetic
result.
The results of a preliminary
study of 12 single tooth implants are presented, to which a
monolithic crown abutment was
attached; a BioHP abutment
that is pressed to the titanium
base without the formation of a
gap is veneered with visio.lign.
