Metal-free dental implants are becoming increasingly popular in
implant dentistry thanks to their pink-white esthetics, optimal tissue integration and outstanding durability.
The “Bolt-in-Tube” connection, which was specially developed for the ceramic dental implant material, prevents tensile and shear forces from being transferred to the ceramic.
Metal-free Vicarbo screw
Core component of the implant-abutment connection
Carbon-fiber-reinforced high-performance PEEK
Enhanced user safety
Fast and reliable abutment insertion
The four interlocks on the abutment have a reduced number of
contact points with the implant
High precision fit through minimal rotational freedom
Optimum force transmission
The interlocks provide anti-rotation protection
High-performance material with a proven surface
Modern implant design
Cylindrical-conical implant shape with a progressive thread design for achieving optimal stability in bone.
Proven implant surface
Excellent osseointegration thanks to the blasted, etched, and hydrophilic surface.1
High-performance zirconia dioxide (ATZ-HIP)
Innovative biocompatible material for use under high load conditions.
Comprehensive metal-free prosthetic portfolio
CERALOG PROGRESSIVE-LINE ceramic dental implants can be used for
many indications. Prosthetic restoration is performed with single crowns, bridges or overdentures. The aim is optimal pink-white esthetics based on the model of the natural tooth.

Advances in ceramic implant design have moved the field from one-piece systems to sophisticated two-piece implants, expanding the possibilities for both surgical and prosthetic treatment.
After regeneration of the augmented jaw in region 36, the treatment team met the patient’s request for treatment with a ceramic implant.
The implant position was marked using a round bur, and the
implant site was prepared according to the drilling protocol for
a CERALOG PROGRESSIVE-LINE implant (Ø 5.0 mm / L 9 mm).
To avoid pressure on the crestal bone, the use of the profile drill
shown on the left is essential. The dense bone drill is used in D1
and D2 bone types and enables positionally stable implant insertion.
Dr. Frederic Hermann, M.Sc., Zug (Switzerland)
The implant is removed from the sterile packaging using a direct
pick-up and inserted at ≤ 15 rpm to prevent bone necrosis due
to overheating. The implant is placed in the jawbone with an
insertion torque of approx. 25 Ncm.
The smooth collar of the CERALOG PROGRESSIVE-LINE implants
is positioned around 0.4 mm supracrestally. Crestal-level placement, as performed in this case study, is possible. The PEEK
cover screw completely conceals the implant shoulder.
After uneventful healing, the final restoration was placed six
months after implant placement. The concave design of the restoration in the submucosal region helps form a stable soft-tissue
cuff. (Dental lab work: Nicola Lanfranconi AG, Zurich, Switzerland)
High functionality and flexibility
With fewer drills/instruments required and a compact tray,
the CERALOG PROGRESSIVE-LINE Flex surgery set ensures an efficient
and optimized drilling process.
The same proven surgical instruments are used to prepare the implant
site for both titanium and ceramic implants, allowing clinicians to continue
using the established PROGRESSIVE-LINE surgery set. Only a
small number of additional instruments are required for final implant
insertion.
