Hidden healing deficits in the jaw

Dear Patients,

After a tooth extraction, the bone does not always heal completely. Although a solid bone plate forms on the outside, small areas inside may not ossify completely. These non-ossified, often fatty cavities are called cavitations. They are the result of the body’s natural but incomplete healing mechanism.
These cavitations can trigger silent inflammatory processes in the body. They can not only have a local effect on the jaw, but also influence general health – for example, the immune system or metabolism.

In addition, reactions in the form of cavitations (fat deposits) or excess mineral storage can also occur in the bone surrounding root canal-treated or root-dead teeth. These changes can also represent chronic, silent inflammation and can be detected with visualisation.

Furthermore, these irregular structures in the bone massively interfere with the healing of implants.
Altered bone regions can thus lead to implant failure. The new visualisation method from Visiogenics UG, led by Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. Shahram Ghanaati, therefore provides the conditions not only for the safe removal of these areas, but also for successful implantation.

In short:  cavitations in the jawbone are healing deficits.

Technical cooperation at the  highest university level

Visiogenics UG, a spin-off company from the University of Frankfurt headed by Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. Shahram Ghanaati, has developed a new visualisation method based on the analysis of DICOM data sets from digital volume tomography (DVT). This technique allows irregular bone structures in the jaw to be precisely visualised – including their exact location and relationship to important neighbouring structures such as nerves or the maxillary sinus. This reveals what often remains hidden in conventional X-ray images.

This modern visualisation method developed by Visiogenics UG provides experienced surgeons with the diagnostic basis for reliably identifying and specifically removing bone changes such as cavitations. These can sometimes cause silent inflammation that puts strain on the entire system. Precise DVT visualisation based on the concept developed by Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. Shahram Ghanaati is therefore an important step for oral and general health.

Treatment of the bone irregularities made visible by this visualisation will soon be available at the Alpstein Clinic. From June, Dr. Sarah Schomberg will take over as dental director of our team, bringing with her the necessary surgical and integrative expertise.

We look forward to meeting you in person

The Alpstein Clinic supports you with modern diagnostics and a holistic approach to detect hidden bone changes in the jaw at an early stage and treat them in a targeted manner. Precise visualisation forms the basis for reliable therapeutic decisions, both in terms of removing problematic areas and planning implants.

We are happy to take the time for a personal consultation to assess your individual situation and discuss the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic approach together.

Vierte StufeHarmonisieren

Damit Körper, Geist und Seele wieder in Einklang zu bringen, sollte man sich selbst annehmen und wertschätzen. Dafür bieten wir Ihnen in der Alpstein Clinic ein ideales Umfeld, in dem Sie zu sich selbst finden und neue Kraft schöpfen können.

Dritte StufeRegenerieren und Stimulieren

Erholung fördern und Abwehr anregen: Mit einer grossen Palette an unspezifischen und spezifischem Immunstimulanzien, immunstärkenden Massnahmen wie Hyperthermie, Infusionen, Ozontherapie und Colonhydroptherapie stimulieren wir die humorale und zelluläre Abwehr. Das Anregen und Vitalisieren aller Organe und körperlicher Strukturen sind Komponenten unseres ganzheitlichen Konzeptes.

Zweite StufeAusleiten und Entlasten

Nun konzentrieren wir uns auf ein ausgeglichenes inneres Milieu des Körpers und schaffen damit die Basis für einen Heilungserfolg. Wichtige Instrumente sind dabei die Zahnsanierung, die Darmsanierung oder die Entgiftung der Organe. In dieser Phase setzen wir die Blut-Plasma-Doppelmembran-Filtration (INUSpherese®) und eine ganzheitliche Schmerztherapie ein und reduzieren schrittweise nebenwirkungsreiche Medikamente der konventionellen Medizin.

Step fourHarmonize

In order to bring body, mind and soul back into harmony, you need to accept and appreciate yourself. At the Alpstein Clinic, we offer you an ideal environment in which you can find yourself and recharge your batteries.

Stage threeRegenerate and stimulate

In this step, we promote recovery and stimulate the immune system: We stimulate the humoral and cellular defenses with a wide range of non-specific and specific immune stimulants, immune-boosting measures such as hyperthermia, infusions, ozone therapy and colon hydrotherapy. The stimulation and vitalization of all organs and physical structures are components of our holistic concept.

Step twoDetox and relieve

We now concentrate on creating a balanced internal environment in the body, thereby creating the basis for successful healing. Important instruments here are dental cleansing, intestinal cleansing and detoxification of the organs. In this phase, we use blood plasma double membrane filtration (INUSpheresis® ) and holistic pain therapy and gradually reduce the use of conventional medicines that have many side effects.

Stage oneAnalyse causes

In the first step, we work with you to get to the bottom of the possible causes of your complaints. We examine possible interference fields, toxic loads, environmental factors, deficiencies, malnutrition and stress factors. This is followed by a comprehensive physical and dental examination. This is followed by further diagnostic measures such as blood, stool, saliva and urine tests, thermography and other tools.
