CAMLOG ROOT-LINE 2 Surgical Procedure

24 CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 IMPLANT The indication used as an example illustrates the insertion of a Ø 4.3/13 mm CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 implant in the lateral mandible. The implantation technique is one-step transperiosteal. A split flap preparation is selected for the incision line. We recommend this procedure in cases in which there is sufficient bone width and no bone augmentation has to be performed. We recommend a split flap preparation only where the thickness of the mucosa is adequate. Otherwise a full mucoperiosteal flap preparation should be performed. After performing a somewhat lingual, paracrestal mucosal incision, a pre- dominantly epiperiosteal flap is created on the vestibular aspect. The mus- cle is divided and the preparation is continued for approximately another 5 mm The mucosa is separated 2–3 mm lingually to simplify suturing later. After marking the desired implant position (if necessary, with a drilling tem- plate), the periosteum is removed circularly only in the area around this site (with gingival punch or scalpel). Depending on the selected implant diam- eter and implant length, the implant bed is then shaped using the instru- ments designed for the CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 implant.
