The demand for highly esthetic prosthetics is on the increase. There is a focus on ceramic implant solutions with high biocompatibility. The ivory colored two-piece CERALOG® Hexalobe implants offer an exceptionally high level of esthetic properties. This is a mature system that has been in clinical use for many years. The high tissue compatibility of zirconium dioxide is widely acclaimed. The dual surface texture The dual surface texture of CERALOG® combines two defined roughnesses on a single implant, without postprocessing, that is unique. The enossal area of the implant body is provided with a micro-roughness with an Ra value of 1.6 μm to enable targeted deposition of bone cells. The neck area of the implant has a lower degree of roughness with an Ra value of 0.5 μm, which additionally optimizes the deposition of soft tissue. The Y-TZP zirconia material CERALOG® Implants consist of yttrium oxide stabilized tetragonal zirconium dioxide. They are produced by Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM). Here both the outer geometry as well as the surface structure are already created in a mold before the sintering and HIP process (HIP = Hot Isostatic Pressing). No abrasive treatment of the zirconia is necessary during this process. Only few companies worldwide are capable of mastering this high-tech manufacturing process. 100% quality control: every single implant is subjected to an extensive mechanical loading test and dimensional check in a controlled process prior to packaging.
