CAMLOG-Implant - Leading Implant Centers

The company CAMLOG is one of the leading manufacturers in the field of implantology and produces dentures for the highest demands. In Wimsheim near Stuttgart, both complete systems and individual, implant-supported dental prosthesis products are manufactured. Furthermore, CAMLOG is an important provider of advanced training in central implantology and offers internships with experienced medical specialists.

The successes in the field of implantology are also attributable to the intensive research activity for which Basel CAMLOG Biotechnologies AG is responsible. In addition to dental implants, we also develop accessories and medical equipment for implantology.

The CAMLOG quality management system is certified according to EN / ISO 13485, EN ISO 9001 and the EU Directive 93/42 / EEC for medical devices. The company is also exemplary in terms of environmental awareness. It uses the exhaust air from production for heat recovery.

Features and Benefits of CAMLOG Implants

The high-tech dental implants from CAMLOG are based on many years of research and development. The manufacturing processes are also among the most modern of their kind and meet the highest quality requirements. The CAMLOG implant system came on the market in 1999 and already set standards. CAMLOG offers the four prosthetic systems CAMLOG, CONELOG, CERALOG and iSy, each of which was developed for special applications.

The CAMLOG implant system is based on an innovative tube-in-tube connection, which enables extremely precise assembly of the abutment and implant. The abutment is the supporting pillar between the implant and the prosthesis. Titanium abutment screws are still used today for common implant systems. The CAMLOG solutions rely on compounds that have the stability of titanium but are visually and technically comparable to ceramics. In the tube-in-tube connection, three geometrically arranged cams and three grooves ensure ideal force distribution and a particularly durable system. This combination fits perfectly and has been used more than a million times. Their functionality could be proven in comparative studies.

Special features of CERALOG

The implant system CERALOG was developed by AXIS Biodental SA from Switzerland. Combined with the desire for aesthetically white dentures, the demand for metal-free implants had risen steadily. Zirconia is not only white, it also has similar properties to titanium.

Although there were already ceramic implants, but these were almost exclusively in one piece. Due to their construction, one-piece ceramic implants require very good pre-planning and high protection during the healing process. Two-piece systems offer a similar workflow as titanium and the dentist more medical freedom.

The CERALOG system is available in one or two parts. The two-part implant has been in use since 2013 and is based on several years of development work. The homogeneous, dense material allows a perfect surface texture without reworking. The two-part Hexalobe implant from CERALOG enables reversible screw connections, thereby overcoming the limitations of previous applications.

Already, the two-piece ceramic implant made of zirconium dioxide has proven itself in everyday clinical practice. It can be used for anything from the artificial tooth root to the crown.

Other Implant Systems from CAMLOG

Dentists use the external conical screw implants, CAMLOG Screw-Line, very often. They are suitable for immediate as well as late implantation and last extremely long. They also use the precise tube-in-tube connection technology.

CONELOG implants have a conical connection for first-class force and torque transmission. Its external geometry is exactly the same as that of CAMLOG SCREW-LINE implants. The difference is in the raised surface.

iSy has been optimized for reduced surgery and uses a preassembled implant base. This simplifies work processes in practice and saves time.

One focus of CAMLOG research is biocompatible materials. Since 2017, BioHorizon also offers organic bone substitute material. Its good compatibility significantly reduces interactions and facilitates tissue regeneration.

What do CAMLOG implants cost?

Fixed dentures are extremely comfortable and far cheaper today than they were 20 years ago. The cost of a dental implant consists of

Material costs,
Dental fees,
Health insurance subsidy and
Labor costs

Since the individual items can vary greatly depending on the health insurance company, doctor's office and laboratory, only an approximate price range can be mentioned. Depending on the components, the patient's own contribution is between € 1,500 and € 1,900. If additional bone is required, the costs increase.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Implants

Advantages

An implant is a very aesthetic solution that has virtually no complications after healing, but leads to an increase in the quality of life. Unlike a bridge, adjacent teeth do not need to be ground for attachment. Thus, no healthy tooth substance is lost. There is also no risk of infection by grinding.

The bone load through the closed gap prevents bone loss.

Disadvantages

The healing process is significantly longer compared to a bridge. Since the health insurances do not participate in the costs, an implant loads the purse more than other dentures.

The treatment itself also involves risks. If the implant is inserted at a wrong angle, this can later lead to problems due to incorrect loading. Other risks include the wrong size, too little gum around the implant and an unfavorable bone situation. Choosing a qualified specialist can significantly reduce these risks.

In general, good oral hygiene should be taken into account, as it accelerates the healing process, reduces bacterial risks and contributes to the longer durability of the implant.

Wisdom teeth extraction

In many people, wisdom teeth remain hidden under the gums and are hardly noticeable. But if they damage neighboring teeth or if they cause pain, it makes sense to remove them. Either they can simply be extracted, or the dentist or oral surgeon has to operate them out.

Methods and material

Dental crown

If the natural tooth crown, that is, the externally visible part of the tooth, is too badly damaged, the dentist often suggests the attachment a dental crown. This is the case when the tooth stump is still stable enough and at least 50 percent tooth substance is still present.

Dental Provisional

Dental temporaries are on everyone's lips - or at least in many. Because this is the temporary dentures that you need to bridge when there are gaps in your teeth.
