CAMLOG ROOT-LINE 2 Surgical Procedure

3 CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 IMPLANT CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 IMPLANTS CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 implants are endosseous implants available in var- ious lengths and diameters. The implants are surgically inserted in the bone of the maxilla and/or mandible and serve as an anchor for functional and esthetic oral restorations for partially and fully edentulous patients. The prosthetic restoration is performed with single crowns, bridges or full den- tures that are attached to the implants with the appropriate elements. CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 implants represent root-shaped screw implants in terms of their outer geometry. The outer surface of the implants is abrasive- blasted and acid-etched (Promote ® surface structure). The implants are available with the Promote ® plus surface. The implant shoulder is machined. The implant is easily inserted due to the self-centering geometry of the im- plant body. Specific CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 form drills and taps are used to prepare the implant bed for CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 implants. AREAS OF APPLICATION CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 implants can be employed as immediate or delayed immediate implants in the bone of the maxilla and mandible. 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. CAMLOG ® abutments are used for the prosthetic restoration with crowns, bridges and full prosthesis. The following specific indications apply to CAMLOG ® implants with a diameter of 3.3 mm: These are an alternative in cases where the alveolar ridge width is only 5–6 mm. Because of their lower mechanical strength compared with larger diameter implants, they should only be used under the follow- ing conditions: • As single implants, they should be used only to replace mandibular incisors and/or maxillary lateral incisors. • An edentulous arch can only be restored with a bar retained super- structure with at least four implants of 3.3 mm diameter without distal extensions. • Implants of diameter 3.3 mm are suitable for a partially edentulous arch when combined with implants of larger diameter for splinted superstructures. However, the limited strength of the implants with diameter 3.3 mm must be taken into account. • Avoid excessive mechanical stressing of the implants when using ball abutments in combination with diameter 3.3 mm implants. The healing time for diameter 3.3 mm implants is at least 12 weeks. Contraindications: CAMLOG ® implants with a diameter of 3.3 mm These implants are not suited as single-tooth restorations for central maxillary incisors, as well as canines, premolars and molars in the max- illa and mandible. Double crown restorations are not allowed on these implants. In case of an implant divergence greater than 10° per implant, the use of Locator ® abutments is contraindicated. CAMLOG ® implants with a diameter of 3.8 mm These implants are not to be used with angled abutments in the molar region. CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 Implant Promote ® plus INTRODUCTION
