As Michael Foley shared in the first part, ceramic implants have been around for 30 years. Until recently the biggest knock on them was they were brittle and could break more easily than titanium implants. That’s not the case anymore, Foley noted in a recent email interview.
“The materials have evolved a lot. ZERAMEX® uses bio-friendly HIP ARZ Zirconia with ceramic. Our use of a different extraction and production process has helped our new ceramic implants to work more like titanium implants,” he wrote. One difference in the extraction process is the Zirconia ZERAMEX® uses is made from the oxide of Zirconium. Zirconium is a metal and in its oxidized state it has all the benefits of a metal (magnetic, heat transference, strength) but doesn’t degrade like Zirconium and titanium.
Secondly, ZERAMEX® presses, sinters and heats the Zirconia before pressing it into a rod. “In this state it becomes exceptionally strong,” Mike says. “Two thousand megapascal vs 1200 megapascal for titanium.”
For those readers not fluent in pressure units and newtons (neither was I), suffice it to say 2,000 is stronger than 1,200 and that ceramic implants are much tougher than they used to be. We have had zero fractures or issues with this screw. It is really incredible,” he said.
Mike noted that the Vicarbo® screw is one of three pieces in a ZERAMEX® implant. “First is the implant that is surgically placed into the bone as an artificial tooth root – just like a titanium implant,” he noted. “Second is the abutment which is the crown and tooth portion, and third is the Vicarbo® screw which locks the root and tooth together.”
“The lateral forces pressing in between the implant and the abutment tightly seal the connection, preventing bacteria from entering the affected area and creating implantitis.”
“This is the sleeping dragon of dental implants,” Mike admitted. “We say that titanium implants have clinical success of 98 percent, but we don’t include the 20 percent of patients that get inflammation around the implant and have to return to the dentist for some sort of (gum) tissue treatment,” Mike said.
With his keen interest in bio-friendly dental solutions, this metal-free option is a huge factor for Mike and one of the primary reasons why he formed Emerginnova as a company focused on bio-friendly dental treatment.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is fused into your jaw to hold a dental crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants provide a durable foundation for permanent or removable replacement teeth substituting for natural teeth. Implants have grown in popularity as technology evolves and baby boomers age.
For instance, dental implants offer several benefits over dentures, including comfort, durability, and convenience because they eliminate the need for dental adhesives. Most importantly, for those that love eating (you know who you are), implants make it easier to eat one’s favorite foods because implants don’t slip and slide like dentures often do.
Since the first implant, titanium has been the metal of choice. Titanium implants are incredibly sturdy and often last a lifetime, but they have been in use long enough now their benefits are showing a few “cracks.”
“Titanium is a metal. Metals conduct heat, they are magnetic, and different metals in the mouth can actually create a galvanic reaction…all of these facts about titanium leads to increased bacteria and plaque attaching to the surface of the implant,” Foley replied in an email interview with Agent Straight-Talk. Acids, salts and bacteria are all contributing to the degradation of the titanium, too, he added.
Michael “Mike” Foley has had an interest in biological dentistry since working as Anthogyr’s North American Agent of distribution and sales in 2006. Anthogyr is a dental equipment manufacturer based in France near Geneva, Switzerland.
Foley said over time Anthogyr moved into dental implants and today they enjoy worldwide popularity for their AXIOM line of implants.
Enter entrepreneur Mike Foley. Foley’s family is from Belgium, but he grew up around Atlanta where he attended the University of Georgia. Throughout school Foley had his eye on working in export management, representing the U.S. and managing sales to other countries, specifically Europe.
His fluency in French led to an opportunity with Anthogyr and their desire to bring their AXIOM implants into the U.S. market. Today Foley still works with the France-based manufacturer, but his role changed in 2014 when Anthogyr chose to focus their production “bite” on Europe and other markets.
Married and back in the U.S. with an infant son at the time, Foley recalls a light clicked on when solely by chance he attended a meeting in Miami with the International Academy of Ceramic Implants (IAOCI).
Foley’s research for Anthogyr showed that the market for titanium implants was leaning towards cheaper production costs and more commercial offerings. Intrigued by the idea of ceramic implants, Foley met with a surgeon named Jens Tartsch the following year in Zurich. Dr. Tartsch introduced Mike to the Zeramex system, a two-piece, screw-retained ceramic implant.
