Elevating implant excellence at every level
With patient demand for immediate functionality, shorter treatment times and natural-looking aesthetics, implant treatment needs to be supported by technological stability, versatility for complex case requirements and predictable outcomes.
As a clinician you should be looking for a premium, high-quality implant system that will lead to excellent short and long-term success and survival rates, which in turn will result in improved patient outcomes, and therefore enhance your professional reputation.
For clinicians to feel assured in their performance with an implant system there are some key criteria to look for. Narrowing down the number of factors, these should centre around published literature on success rates and complications, implant design factors, training availability, manufacturer support and professional recommendations.
Success & survival rates
According to the ADI, “in general the success rate for dental implants is around ninety-five per cent”. Using this as a guide when researching your clinical studies will give you a good indiciation if the implant is high-quality and can stand the test of time. Generally, these studies will be performed over a 10-year period giving you reliable data to base a decision on.
Implant design
Dental implants have undergone varying shapes and designs over the past few decades, with each manufacturer offering obvious differences between their thread pattern, transmucosal design, and prosthetic connection for example. Other variations taken into consideration include texture, composition and surface treatment. Analysing design features will help clinicians select an implant most appropriate for enhancing treatment decisions whilst factoring in the patients individual clinical situation.
Surgical support
Regardless, if the premium implant you’re using, isn’t backed up by the surgical support, mentorship and training required to help you build your confidence, develop your skills and thus multiply your implant volume, then the implant itself is insignificant.
Choosing a premium implant
Benefiting from a deep-rooted brand legacy that dates back to the early 90s, and fortified by decades of rigorous research, BioHorizons Camlog epitomises excellence in dental implants. Combining this with a collective market experience exceeding 55 years, BioHorizons Camlog has developed immediate solutions, such as the Tapered Pro and CONELOG® Progressive-Line implant systems, to consistently deliver unparalleled quality, performance and clinical success.
Tapered Pro implants – 
This system draws from over a decade of proven success and its distinctive design offers a dependable solution for immediate treatment needs. The conical implant body and aggressive screw thread provide adequate primary stability, whilst the reduced neck diameter helps preserve the amount of bone. Its most notable advancement is the 20-year history of the Laser-Lok® surface treatment which fosters connective tissue attachment, that protects and maintains crystal bone health (1). Laser-Lok has also been shown to be more effective than other implant designs in reducing bone loss (2,3,4,5). Colour-coded platforms, end-cutting features, and a self-tapping thread design make these implants suitable for controlled placement in challenging sites.
CONELOG® Progressive-Line dental implants – These implants are based on the user-friendly and clinically proven CONELOG® connection and the thread design, proven to be capable of treating a wide range of indications with modern concepts such as digital workflows and both immediate or delayed protocols. The high-precision deep conical connection has been shown to have minimised micro-movements and superior positional stability, (6,7) compared to other conical implant-abutment connections.
The apical conical macro design of the CONELOG® Progressive-Line implant, with extended flank height, enables high primary stability, regardless of bone quality. Manufactured from high-quality pure titanium (grade 4) these implants benefit from the sand-blasted and acid etched Promote® Surface for rapid and stable osseointegration, reporting high survival and success rates on the short term (8).
Premium implants, premium results
Your implant brand of choice can have a major impact on the success of treatment, patient satisfaction and ultimately your implant business. Poor-quality implants can fail, resulting in dissatisfied clients, and complex systems or lack of surgical support can hinder your confidence and professional development. Collaborating with a true implant partner is much more than just receiving a premium implant. It’s about the support you’re likely to receive, the unwavering customer service and the always-on-hand approach.
