Implant Position Planning

TEAM APPROACH

Increasingly higher demands for quality and specialization require a multi-

disciplinary team approach to combine the members’ acquired knowledge

and experience. Modern implant-supported restorations need a high level

of attention to detail and clinical experience. This is true equally for the re-

storative dentist, the surgeon, the dental technician, and the dental office

support staff such as the nurse, hygienist, and chair assistant.

The CAMLOG team concept takes all of these demands into consideration.

The sequence of treatment procedures is structured, and specific proce-

dures are clearly assigned to specific teammembers once the joint planning

phase is complete.

Pre-implantation surgical interventions and the implantation itself are car-

ried out by the surgeon, or a surgically qualified restorative dentist. The sur-

gical instrumentation should be simply and thoughtfully organized. If a

transgingival implantation (one-step) is to be performed, this eliminates a

second intervention (implant exposure). In contrast, if a covered implanta-

tion is selected (two-step), a healing cap must be attached for soft-tissue

conditioning for three weeks after the exposure and before taking the im-

pression, depending on the indications. The dentist/surgeon takes the im-

pression using the transfer system and an impression material of choice

(silicone, polyether, etc.). In addition to the impression components, only a

screwdriver is required. The implant-abutment selection is made after the

master cast has been fabricated in the laboratory. Because of the high pre-

cision of the implant components incl. the rotational stability of the implant-

to-abutment connection, time-consuming intermediate try-ins can be

skipped. Both dentist and dental technician can concentrate on esthetics

and the hygienic adaptability of the restoration because the insertion of the

abutment is simple and quick. Crown and bridge structures, as well as

hybrid restorations can be fabricated to offer a perfect fit with CAMLOG

prosthetic components.

The CAMLOG

Implant System is therefore user-friendly and time-saving.

The scope and value of pre-implantation diagnostics have changed. Today,

pre-implantation diagnostics must be oriented to prosthetic needs (back-

ward planning).

Since implant-supported treatment success is judged almost entirely in

terms of esthetics and function, no prior compromises in these areas should

ever be considered. The objective is to obtain a patient-oriented total reha-

bilitation.
