CAMLOG SCREW-LINE Surgical procedure

3 CAMLOG ® SCREW-LINE IMPLANT CAMLOG ® SCREW-LINE IMPLANT GENERAL CAMLOG ® SCREW-LINE implants are endosseous implants available in various lengths and diameters. They are surgically inserted in the bone of the maxilla and/or mandible and serve as an anchor for functional and es- thetic oral restorations for partially and fully edentulous patients. The pros- thetic restoration is performed with single crowns, bridges or full dentures that are attached to the CAMLOG ® Implants with the appropriate CAM- LOG ® Components. CAMLOG ® SCREW-LINE implants are distinguished by: • A slight tapered external geometry, • A machined implant neck portion available in two height: 1.4 mm at CAMLOG ® SCREW-LINE Promote ® Implant and 0.4 mm at CAMLOG ® SCREW-LINE Promote ® plus Implant, • Option Platform Switching, • Promote ® Surface, • Tube-in-Tube connection with three symmetrically arranged grooves and • efficient implant handling with mounted insertion post. The CAMLOG ® SCREW-LINE implant is not only suitable for late implanta- tions but also for immediate or delayed immediate implantations in maxil- lary or mandibular bone. The selected healing technique can be either sub- merged or transgingival. In the case of a one-stage surgical procedure, the implants can be loaded immediately if good primary stability has been achieved and functional loading is appropriate. The implant is easily inserted because the taper of the implant body (3°–9° depending on length and diameter) induce self centering. The self-cutting thread provides for continuous grip on the bone and high primary stability. RANGE OF USE FOR CAMLOG ® SCREW LINE IMPLANT A deeper coronal implant shoulder is especially beneficial in treating esthe- tically challenging areas. The machined segment of a CAMLOG ® SCREW- LINE Implant Promote ® plus surface measures only 0.4 mm. The implant can therefore be inserted into the bone as far as this segment * . The fol- lowing clinical prerequisites should be present: • Normal to thick biotype • Gingival height of at least 3.0 mm • Minimum width of 1.0 mm of the attached gingiva • Minimum distance of 2.0 mm between attached gingiva and mimetic musculature. * Schwarz F, Alcoforado G, Nelson K, Schaer A, Taylor T, Beuer F, Strietzel FP.
