22 PRODUCTS ROOT-LINE BECOMES ROOT-LINE 2 According to the market data and independent reports available, root- shaped, self-tapping implants have a large market share worldwide. Based on the wishes of our customers, mainly in other European countries, we modified the design of the root-shaped ROOT-LINE implants. They are equipped with the proven CAMLOG ® Tube-in- Tube TM Implant-abutment connection and now feature three angular K-series grooves. This enables the optional use of ROOT-LINE 2 implants with Platform Switching abutments. The implants are available in five diameters (3.3 mm, 3.8 mm, 4.3 mm, 5.0 mm and 6.0 mm) and in four lengths (9 mm – not for Ø 3.3 mm – 11 mm, 13 mm and 16 mm) and besides being used for late implantation, they can also be used for immediate and delayed immediate implantation. The 3.3 mm implants complement demanding restoration of narrow front tooth gaps; they are suitable for restricted alveolar ridge width of 5 – 6 mm. As a result of their mechanical strength as compared with implants of larger diameter, the may only be used for certain indications. With the machined shoulder part of 0.4 millimeters and the flattening of the bioseal bevel, the neck area of the ROOT-LINE 2 implant has been adapted to the design of the SCREW-LINE implants, which have been placed millions of times up until now. A lower implant shoulder is especially advantageous in esthetically demanding regions. The CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 implants with the Promote ® plus surface are inserted in the bone up to the machined implant neck part. New specific CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 form drills and taps are used to prepare the implant bed for CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 implants. The cutting groove on the implant body has been elongated for optimal implant insertion. The tapered apical part of the implant allows easy insertion with self- centering. The Tube-in-Tube TM inner connection established for 15 years now and the rotation securing device above the grooves and cams renders the ROOT-LINE 2 implants compatible with the existing prosthetics of the CAMLOG ® implants. This means that reliable pro- sthetic components have been available to the user for years now. The CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 implant has been available on the market since 1 st October, 2014. The advancement of the root-shaped, self-tapping CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE screw implants now also offers the option of restoration with Platform Switching abutments. The implants are suitable for almost every indication in dental implantology. The combined implant geometry of cylinder and tapered apical part allows use with limited bone availability in the apical region.
