CERALOG Product Catalog 2019

2 | CERALOG ® Product Catalog 2019 THE CERALOG ® IMPLANT SYSTEM The demand for highly esthetic dental prostheses is increa- sing continuously. Here, the focus is on ceramic implant so- lutions with the highest level of biocompatibility. Zirconium dioxide is generally acknowledged to be highly compatible with soft tissues. In 2006, the Swiss company AXIS biodental SA started the basic research that laid the groundwork for the development of high-performance zirconium dioxide implants in conjunction with Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM). In 2007 the first clinical studies commenced with some of the studies using the current material composition and surface texture. Marketing commenced with the one-piece Monobloc implant. The two- piece Hexalobe implant has been used successfully in the present configuration since early 2012. Following extensive research and market observation, CAMLOG identified AXIS biodental SA as the leading manufacturer of innovative zirconium dioxide implants and acquired a majority holding in the company in 2016. CAMLOG has marketed the AXIS implant system under the name CERALOG ® since 2017. The CAMLOG R&D team has taken over the further development of this innovative implant system. DUAL SURFACE The dual surface texture of CERALOG ® is unique. For better adhesion of the soft tissue, the texture is less rough in the neck area than in the enossal area, which is optimized for osseointegration. This is made possible by the high-tech Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM) manufacturing process. INNOVATIVE ABUTMENT The innovative abutment made of the high-performance polymer PEKK is ductile and offers good sealing properties. In addition, it has a damping effect and reduces the stress concentration on the implant. REVERSIBILITY Reversibly screw-retained prosthetic solutions are possible with the CERALOG ® Hexalobe implant – cemented or hybrid crowns
