Implant Industry Newsletter
Volume 2

Dear Colleagues,

In this second edition of a series of newsletters I will provide a roadmap to Paragon’s™ very content-rich website that includes many videos, articles, product analysis and controversies. Regardless which implant system(s) you are currently using, the general information provided on Paragon’s™ website will broaden your knowledge and better help you make an informed decision regarding products and procedures. The centerpiece of the Paragon’s™ Home Page is a five-minute 3D graphic video explaining the features, benefits, and applications of the three implants that make up the Paragon™ Implant System. My innovations, including 33 US Patents, are the DNA of modern implants, and, along with 3 new innovations (Pat. Pend.), are incorporated in my new Generation 5 implant designs. To the right are links to three other videos, including a 7-minute chronology of my 60 year dental career. The other two are excerpts of an interview that includes a slide presentation of the Paragon™ System and answers to questions related to the implant industry in general, and sub-crestal placement of implants in particular. Once Paragon™ receives its FDA Clearance, a shopping cart will be added to the website.

Sincerely,

Gerald Niznick, DMD, MSD

3D Graphic video (5 minutes) showing the three implants that comprise Paragon’s™ Implant System.

The GEN5™ is a two-piece implant with an anodized machined collar and score lines that gives the surgeon vertical flexibility to place it level with the bone or supra-crestal.
The GEN5+™ is the same implant but with a 2mm, friction-fit extender that converts to a standard MUA with a prosthetic screw.
The NizPlant™ is a 1-Piece implant with a dual-function platform designed to retain an overdenture or support a fixed bridge.

“My innovations are the DNA of modern implants, and are incorporated in my new Generation 5 implant designs”

This 7-minute video chronicles my contributions to the dental profession during my 58-year career that includes the formation of four successful dental implant companies and being awarded 33 US Patents.

I am also recognized for designing and funding the largest dental implant clinical research project published in special issues of JOMS and Annals of Periodontology, treating 900+ US Veterans at 32 VA Centers in the USA.

“One purpose: Making implant dentistry more accessible to the patient and more predictable for the clinician.”

This 14-minute excerpt from an interview includes a slide show on Paragon’s™ implant system that includes:

The GEN5™ with color coded 3.5mmD and 4.5mmD platforms & prosthetic components.
The GEN5+™ with a friction-fit, 2mm extender that converts to MUA by attaching a screw.
The NizPlant™ is a 1-piece implant with a dual-function platform for over-dentures and MUA.
Each implant has a machined, anodized neck with score lines at 1mm & 2mm from the top.

“Two of the three implants I developed are targeted at edentulous applications”

In this 8-minute excerpt of an interview, I answer the question as to why there are so many dental implant companies, all fighting for market share. I also explain why Paragon’s™ implants are designed to provide vertical flexibility for crestal or supra-crestal placement, especially in extraction sockets and uneven ridges. The 2mm machined neck of each implant facilitates both 1- or 2-stage surgical protocols.

“What is really driving the growth of the implant market is the public and the benefits of implants.”

The Homepage also contains a link to a 16-page document on the “Evolution and scientific basis of Paragon’s™ GEN5™ implant system” which contains 36 links to articles and videos. The homepage also contains a link to the full 1-hour interview with Amir Mansouri, CEO and Co-founder of SprintRay, where I provide my perspective on a variety of dental implant subjects and controversies.
