(This is going to be good)...
Ok smarty, then since you know very well the chemical composition and bonding of molecular compounds to the nano degree, please enlighten us. Otherwise, shut your mouth when you're talking to me.
People who have no other way to rebutt other than through insults are either insecure, or don't know jack shit. I know this is a blog, and I like to have my fun too, but it gets thin like the Nobel 3.5. Like I mentioned earlier, come at me with scientific proof that nano doesn't work on a discrete level within the osseotite surface. (hint, it's not a coating).
As far as blinders, our clients (notice, not mine) tend to buy from me because of service to their referral base is strong, we communicate well, and our products work. If one of any of these reasons were false, I wouldn't be doing so well. Plus, Encode has been a godsend.
But I like the scare tactics that these other reps use on surgeons, it works well....not!
The strength of an ionic bond is dependent upon the environment of the ionic compound. In a vacuum, the strength of the bond is essentially immeasurable with an infinite strength. However let us consider two simpler examples – in air and in solution. In air, many ionic compounds are extremely stable and form elaborate crystalline lattices that maximize the number of ionic interactions between the individual ions. In aqueous (or water-based) solution, these crystals often disappear. Water is a polar molecule that has partially positively and partially negatively charged regions (as will be described more fully in the section on polar bonds). These partially charged regions have the ability to interact directly with individual ions. These interactions en masse can substitute for the interactions formed between ions. Thus, ionic bonds can be disrupted by water, leading to the separation of the ions.
This is what causes failures in nano douche bag and leaves the success of the implants integration totally unpredictable. Is a nano implant placed in air or a hostile environment which includes water and fluids??? No study can ever provide a real percentage of success with the nano surface. Im sure you would have made the traveling medicine man of the 1800's happy with your gullibility an interest in tonics and elixirs.
I'm sorry but this makes absolutely no sense. I mean don't get me wrong, that was a well crafted, articulated arguement, but over....ruled!
First, HA has been in medicine for countless of years used effectively in the ortho world. Being that our body is made of approx 70% of water, how then would those countless of years be denied? Those hips, knees, shoulder, elbow replacement with additive surfaces contact blood. Last I check, that has water too. Also, if your explanation were to hold water (pardon the pun) then EVERY SINGLE NANO IMPLANT would fail. Last I check it was approx 98% success. Even if it were 50% successful, it would still prove you wrong.

Has anyone ever questioned if it is the enhanced surface or whether or not acid etching in a titanium alloy is different from acid etching in a commercially pure titanium product?? Think people......
The acid-etching can be controlled to create a slightly roughened surface measurable in microns, (Ra value). Whatever the alloy, you could perform longer/shorter cycles to get what you want. The problem is, Osseotite is not rough enough. This is well known, and nano-depositing HA makes it less so, occupying pits that are already too short for optimum osteoblast morphology. Studies have shown negligible differences is success, and it's not worth the extra $$$. These implants have to placed in more strict, exact protocols--they will not rescue you in troubling, unpredictable situations. Neither surface is considered best-in-class.
The best HA surfaces (and I say that with tongue in cheek) are thicker in crystallinity, so when most of it gets cracked or rubbed off during placement, there's still some there. Not a very innovative or scientific story, but at least the HA is having more of an impact during early integrative success.
Would someone from 3i please answer this question; where are 3i implants manufactured????
Thank you.
Florida.
I think they mean the ones that are sold that arent reviewed by quality control
He got the boot when Maggie got her ass burned from Binder for not keeping the sales force on a leash!!
