What exactly is an implant?An implant consists of commercially pure titanium. This already long-proven and biologically compatible material in medical technology is very tissue-friendly. Until this day, no allergies are known towards titanium. Three components, i.e. the implant, the abutment and the holding screw are combined with one another. Assembled together the entire construction is about two centimeters long. Different sizes and forms allow our doctors to find the best solution for every indication. Besides, you can see a highly magnified sectional view of a CAMLOG implant with its abutment and crown. CAMLOG implants rank amongst the most modern and scientifically well-founded systems. Their use has been proven to be successful in more than 95 percent of all treatments. This can be attributed to its patented tube-in-tube connection. This certainly ensures the best seating and an exact fitting. Because of its simple handling the treatment time is shorter with CAMLOG implants than it is with many other systems. The procedure is illustrated below. Our specialists will carry out the treatment as usual, from taking the impression right up until inserting the dental implant, and will also carry out regular check-ups. In the following, we shall explain some situations that are often encountered for illustrative purposes. How is it done?Under local anesthesia our doctors prepare an exactly fitting cavity for the root shaped screw (implant) in the jaw using a special drill (figure 1 and 2) before the screw (implant) is inserted (figure 3). The bone stabilizes the implant and after approximately three to six months, the bone and the implant have grown together. When the healing phase is completed, the dentist inserts the abutment into the implant, fits the crown and connects it firmly to the implant abutment (figure 4).
