BioHorizons has introduced Ceralog Progressive-Line implants to the U.S. market, a ceramic dental implant system that the company describes as completely metal-free.
BioHorizons said that although most dental implants are made of titanium, some patients require an alternative, and Ceralog allows doctors to meet those needs with a metal-free option. The system includes a ceramic implant, zirconia and PEEK restorative components, and a metal-free screw.
Key features include:
- Two-piece restorative flexibility beyond what traditional one-piece ceramic implant designs offer
- A bolt-in-tube implant-abutment connection engineered to provide a stable, precise connection
- A high-performance ceramic designed to provide the mechanical performance required for implant dentistry with the aesthetic benefits of a tooth-colored material
Originally developed by partner company Camlog, Ceralog has a modern, tapered, aggressive thread design and dedicated surgical instrumentation.
“Ceralog merges a modern implant body design with completely metal-free restorative components to address the growing U.S. market for alternative implant solutions,” said Steve Boggan, president and CEO of BioHorizons. “This new addition to our already broad implant product portfolio allows us to provide doctors with an even broader range of solutions for their patients.”
BioHorizons, headquartered in Birmingham, AL, describes itself as one of the largest dental implant companies in the world.
