ABOUT CAMLOG 21 ties, but also with private dental practices. This allows us to cover the entire patient spectrum. The patient is always at the focus of a clinical study. To protect study participants, high ethical, methodical and scienti c re- quirements are always complied with in the planning, execution and evaluation. All studies are conducted in compliance with current laws, standards and directives (Declaration of Helsinki, Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP), ISO Standard 14155, European Directives on Medical Devices, local regulations on medical devices (e.g. MPG in Germany)) and submitted to the competent ethics commissions. The results of the clinical studies on top- ics such as the clinical long-term success or the effectiveness of treatment options contribute to the improvement and fur- ther development of our products and are presented regularly at congresses and then published. The long-term support is re ected by the yearly growing number of publications in highly ranked international scienti c journals (Fig. 1) . Meanwhile the CAMLOG Implant systems are among the best documented systems worldwide. This allows our customers to continuously convince themselves of the the reliability and safety of the products. Pre-clinical research PANTA REI – EVERYTHING FLOWS, and so does the continued progress in the eld of dental implants and implant-support- ed restorations. To keep abreast, we at CAMLOG follow these new developments closely. We identify and assess innovative technologies in terms of suitability for im- proving existing or new products and reg- ularly conduct feasibility studies. To do this, we cooperate closely with inter- nal and external partners and experts and are supported in our activities by a well equipped testing laboratory. The labora- tory is equipped with sensitive measuring equipment for surface analysis (scanning electron microscope, contact angle meas- uring device (Fig. 2) , white light interfer- ometer (for measuring example see Fig. 3) , various light microscopes), devices for fabricating metallographic cross-sec- tions and testing machines to determine the fatigue behavior of our products. 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 600 650 700 750 Fig. 1: Cumulated number of independent specialist publications on CAMLOG implant systems, 2000 – 2015.
