March 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Rushmore's strategic shift coincides with their recent expansion to the Chiropractic consulting market, and is consistent with Rushmore's ongoing desire to assist private, fee-for-service dental and chiropractic practices grow and succeed in offering wellness and disease preventative treatment, education and services to patients.

The decision to narrow its marketing and consulting services to metal-free dentistry and ceramic implantology is an easy one for Rushmore's President and Founder, Christopher Stratton.

"We firmly believe in the existing science that shows nearly 30% of dental patients endure moderate and/or severe side effects and allergic reactions to metals used in restorative and implant dentistry, many of which negatively impact patient quality of life. Rushmore sees this strategic shift as a way to tap into a significant portion of the consumer market that is grossly underserved and, for the most part, being ignored."

"It's not just mercury in amalgam fillings to be concerned with anymore. Now, patients are subjected to a myriad of inferior metals in their restorative crowns, bridges and dental implant fixtures, many of which were fabricated and manufactured in dental laboratories located in less regulated countries like China or Mexico".

Mr. Stratton has spent over 15-years in the dental industry, primarily in the dental implant sector of the business, and expresses his frustration with the mainstream implant community.

"While spending a day at the recent Academy of Osseointegration (AO) annual meeting and exhibit in Phoenix, it's clearly evident that the large implant companies dismiss the clinical viability and patient need for a completely metal free implant fixture option, and continue to market the same titanium-alloy metal materials that have been available for decades. It's really just a sad, white-noise of sameness."

"Market growth and patient demand for dental implants has remained, despite the poor economy of the past few years, stronger than ever", Mr. Stratton noted." Sadly, the existing clinical data that the mainstream dental implant community uses to gauge implant case "success" is still focused solely on the initial stability of the implant, bone osseointegration, soft tissue response, to which degree bone resorbs around the implant fixture over time, function and, finally, esthetics, while ignoring internal side effects that patients suffer post-operatively, both short and long term."

"Many dental implant patients develop chronic side effects after dental implant surgery, ranging from - anecdotally - Rosacea, joint pain, and a relatively new malady that Gastro-Intestinal Specialists are diagnosing in greater frequency, Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EE)."

Rushmore is actively seeking strategic alliances with metal-free dental implant companies that market ceramic (Zirconia, Zirconium) implant fixtures. In addition, Rushmore Academy will continue to offer ongoing support to the growing membership of doctors and medical professionals aligned with the International Academy of Ceramic Implantology (IAOCI). The IAOCI is dedicated to furthering the advancement of Ceramic Dental Implants, including zirconium oxide implants, zirconia implants, and all other ceramic implants.

With this strategic shift to metal-free dentistry, Rushmore Academy remains dedicated to promoting the CO2 soft-tissue laser offerings of DEKA Lasers, Inc., and will continue to market and distribute CO2 lasers as an Authorized Retailer of DEKA Lasers.
