1 Surgery CAMLOG Compendium

I. General System Information
1. Introduction
Modern implant prosthetics is now an
established component of dentistry. The
expectations and demands of patients
are steadily increasing. Therefore, the
ultimate goal of modern implant-supported
treatment concepts is for full
esthetic, functional, phonetic, and psychosocial
rehabilitation. This applies
equally to replacements of lost single
incisors associated with trauma and the
complex rehabilitation of periodontally
compromised remaining teeth or the
treatment of an edentulous heavily atrophied
maxilla and mandible.
This manual should help promote treatment
success quickly, simply, and efficiently.
The layout of this publication follows
the logical sequence of planning
and performance of a periodontal
implant-supported prosthetic restoration.
You get acquainted primarily with the
configuration, mechanical, and biomechanical
features of the implants, as well
as with the innovative CAMLOG ®
implant-to-abutment connection.
Before presenting the prosthetic concepts,
we give you an overview of the
"backward planning" method and the
team concept on which it is based, to
ensure the best treatment result possible.
The section Treatment Concepts provides
an overview of the prosthetic
options using the CAMLOG ® Implant
System.
The other sections follow the order of
procedures suggested in the backward
planning concept:
• History, examination, diagnostics
• Prosthetically oriented planning
• Feasibility testing, adaptation,
patient-oriented planning of the
procedure sequence
• Surgery
• Prosthetics
• Follow-up
General System Information
Introduction
Warning
The descriptions that follow are not adequate
to permit use of the CAMLOG ®
Implant System immediately. Instruction
by an experienced operator in the management
of the CAMLOG ® Implant
System is strongly recommended.
CAMLOG ® dental implants and abutments
should be used only by dentists,
physicians, surgeons and dental technicians
trained in the system. Appropriate
courses and training sessions are regularly
offered by CAMLOG.
Methodological errors in treatment can
result in loss of the implant and significant
loss of peri-implant bone substance.
