The post Implant Tribune: Spotlight on ZERAMEX®XT for the month of April 2020 appeared first on Emerginnova.
]]>First published by Implant Tribune | April 2020
We are excited to announce that ZERAMEX®USA has been selected to become the front cover of the international C.E. magazine of oral implantology, Implant Tribune for their April 2020 issue!
Featured on the front cover is our latest Ceramic Dental Implant, ZERAMEX®XT. A two piece, screw-retained system that functions surgically and restorative like current titanium implants. The current product offer has restorative flexibility with multiple abutment choices and will soon have scan bodies and a complete digital workflow with fully customized prosthetics.It is tapered in design, has an internal connection and the unique VICARBO® screw creates a seal against bacteria and micromovement. Modern ceramic implants now offer the same ease of use as current titanium implants.
Also featured in the April 2020 issue is the case presentation of Dr. med. dent. Jens Tartsch, DMD featuring ZERAMEX® XT.
This case involved a simple placement of an implant in a site with adequate bone in an overall healthy patient. The case is significant in that it was the first case ever done worldwide using the ZERAMEX XT Ceramic Implant System.
It shows a ZERAMEX XT 4.2 x 10mm implant placed in a healed extraction and grafted site. The implant placement was done 4 months post tooth extraction and grafting. The implant was restored using the VICARBO Carbon Fiber screw and zirconia abutment. At one year follow up, the implant shows no peri-implant inflammation. No movement or bone loss can be observed.
This case was done in Zurich Switzerland by Dr. Jens Tartsch. Dr. Tartsch practices in Zurich Switzerland and is a founding father of the European Society of Ceramic Implants. ESCI is a connection between industry leaders and clinical users of ceramic implants working together to create the designs, and technologies for proven future success.

]]>Case Presentation by: Michael Toffler, DDS | New York, NY | September 2019
Site #3: Patient requests removal of a titanium implant with peri-implant disease and replacement with a metal-free Zeramex XT implant
Michael Toffler, DDS is an experienced Periodontist with a demonstrated history of working in the health wellness and fitness industry. Strong healthcare services professional with a certificate of residency in Periodontics from V.A. Medical Center West Los Angeles. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and is well published in refereed journals and has written textbook chapters on sinus floor elevation and it associated complications.
“There is presently a lack of information if and how titanium (Ti) particles from dental implants affect the tissues in the oral cavity, particularly peri-implant tissues such as bone and connective tissue cells” (Happe et al 2019).
Concerns:
- Ti particle pollution may be perceived clinically as discoloration of the marginal tissues and histologically, we see lymphocytes in the peri-implant tissues with increased Ti concentration (Zipprich et al 2018)
- Ti particles can provoke a dual effect, reducing bone formation due to inhibition of osteoblast proliferation and increasing bone resorption by IL-6 osteoblast-mediated osteoclastogenesis (Goodman et al 2016)
- Titanium wear microparticles shown to activate osteoclastogenesis (Mishra et al 2011)
- A recent cell culture experiment demonstrated a cytotoxic effect of Ti debris on human osteoblasts and gingival fibroblasts (Happe et al 2019)
- If Ti particles create an inflammatory cell response or induce bone resorption they may play an important role in peri-implant disease.
Case Report
- 30 y/o female with history of severe ulcerative colitis. For the last 1.5 years, she has experienced: periodic fever, muscle aches and weakness
- Implant # 3 placed with transalveolar lift in August of 2017 by another periodontist
- Patient presents in my office with 25-30% bone loss and 6-7 mm probing depths implant #3. She now wants the implant removed as she feels it may be contributing to her condition.
- ENT confirmation: no sinus pathology present.
4 months after implant removal and grafting the residual osteotomy, there is a subantral bone height of 3-7 mm and a convoluted sinus floor
3.5 mm Densah® bur spins CCW 1200 RPM to autograft and lift sinus prior to finalizing with ZERADRILL®
Placement: 5.5 x 8 mm Zeramex XT implant slightly distalized to engage more subantral bone.
Collar: .6 mm supracrestal on mesial and distal, 1.6 mm on facial. Sinus lift: 3-5 mm

]]>The post The Heart of the connection is the VICARBO® screw appeared first on Emerginnova.
]]>VICARBO® is a carbon-fiber reinforced PEEK plastic, in which the carbon fibers are aligned with the longitudinal axis of the material. In this way, we can achieve enormous strength. Thanks to the production process developed by ZERAMEX®, the carbon fibers are not damaged during production and they retain their full function. This screw, for which a patent is pending, is unique in dental implantology!
The VICARBO® screw is a precision screw to optimally capture occlusal forces. When tightened, it grips the existing contour of the thread thanks to the significant different hardness of the ceramic and screw.
This material has already proved its worth in other medical applications (e.g. orthopedics) and is considered to be the material of the future. Aerospace engineers also use carbon fiber reinforced components because of their enormous strength and low weight.

Interview F&E Pascal Wettstein – Vicarbo Technology
Carbon – established in dental implantology
Digitization and implantology with ceramic implants is one of the fastest growing and most innovative areas in dentistry. Intensive research and further development in the areas of material properties and restorative care in particular, have led to implants made of zirconium oxide in addition to titanium implants, becoming a serious factor in dental implantology. Dentalpoint with the ZERAMEX® brand is considered a pioneer of “white implants” and launched the groundbreaking ZERAMEX® P6 innovation in March of 2015. A worldwide unique, 100% metal-free, two-piece ceramic implant system with screw connection. The high connection strength required for such a system is achieved by carbon ceramic technology. The core is the Vicarbo screw made of carbon fiber reinforced high-performance PEEK. In the meantime, the further developed system ZERAMEX® XT has already established itself on the market. Representing Dentalpoint with its Zeramex brand, Pascal Wettstein, Head of the Research & Development Department, provides information on what an implant abutment compound is all about and what the future will look like in this matter.
Pascal Wettstein is an experienced R & D engineer with a profound background in materials science. He has been with Dentalpoint since 2014 and part of the great pioneering work. Before joining Dentalpoint, Pascal Wettstein worked for several years as an engineer in the R & D department of renowned Swiss medtech companies.
Mr. Wettstein, ceramic implants are enjoying an upswing in the dental industry. With a current market share of 2-3%, it is predicted that ceramic implant systems will enjoy a market share of up to 25% by 2022. Dentalpoint is a pioneer in this upswing. With what innovation has the ZERAMEX® brand revolutionized dental implantology?
PWE: Historically, in the past, people had a choice between a one-piece and a two-piece bonded implant system, and that’s where ZERAMEX® started. However, we quickly realized that, for reasons of prosthetic flexibility, a two-prosthetic solution is needed. In implantology with titanium implants, virtually no one-piece systems are used anymore, as these are not easy to supply. So our task was clear that even in metal-free implantology you have to offer a system that is reversibly screwed. We were the first to launch a 100% metal-free and two-piece ceramic implant system that is reversibly screwed. This is the great innovation of Zeramex.
The ZERAMEX® systems are known for Vicarbo, a carbon fiber ceramic technology. Why did you choose the material carbon fiber at ZERAMEX®? What are the properties of this Vicarbo technology?
PWE: Fiber composites and especially carbon fiber composites have very special material properties. They have a very high tensile strength (about twice as high as e.g. titanium grade V) and stiffness, they are chemically resistant and they are anisotropic due to the fibers. This means that in the fiber direction you have different properties than transversely. This can be taken advantage of by controlling the fiber course or placing it in the main load direction(s).
A classic example is the bicycle fork made of a carbon fiber composite: it is designed to react elastically to longitudinal loads so that it can optimally cushion impacts, etc. Cross or on torsion it is very stiff, as this massively improves the handling of the bike. With an aluminium fork, it is not possible to control the properties in this mass, as this is an isotropic material (the properties are broadly the same in all directions).
These excellent mechanical properties, combined with low weight, have led to this material being established in a wide range of high-tech industries such as aviation (A380 and Boeing 787), aerospace and racing.
We also make use of the above-mentioned properties. In this way, we build the screw through the process control in such a way that the main fiber curve lies in such a way that it can withstand high mechanical loads on torsion and pull. The combination of a relatively soft screw with the very hard ceramic also allows us to produce the screw in a slight excess. The screw then nestles in the ceramic thread. This results in a sealing effect. The matrix material in our case is PEEK, which has a long tradition in medical technology.
Does carbon find use in medicine anywhere else?
PWE: Yes! The advantages of carbon fiber composites are obvious. The material made of carbon fibers is lightweight, high-stiff, X-ray-transparent and resistant to corrosion – ideal for medtech use. It is already used for bone screws or in “Spinal Cages” and “Cervical Plates” for the surgical treatment of degenerative intervertebral disc diseases. As already mentioned, carbon fiber composites have a higher stiffness than titanium. They also have better fatigue resistance. This is a decisive advantage for high cyclic alternating loads, which occur continuously in spines. The same applies, of course, to an abutment screw, which is constantly exposed to alternating loads due to chewing.
One hears again and again about stability problems with screws of two-piece implant systems. What about the long-term stability?
PWE: Although there are no clinical studies on the Vicarbo screw yet, our five-year data speak very clearly. Information about statistics (So and so much are user errors)
Of course, a composite material, such as Vicarbo, can also cause material failure, such as “fiber pull-outs” or a “matrix delamination”. These are not breaks in the classical sense, but start with a failure of the interface of the PEEK matrix and the carbon fibers, which ultimately leads to a failure of the composite.
As with any screw, care should be taken to ensure that the torque is maintained. In addition, the prosthetic wrench must sit cleanly in the screw drive to ensure optimum force introduction. However, this generally applies to screws and is not limited to the Vicarbo screw.
Based on our market feedback, however, we can say that since the introduction of our Vicarbo technology, the screw has been extremely reliable.
In medicine, studies are always a much-discussed topic and can also provide information on whether a product is ready for the market. Are there any studies on the Vicarbo screw?
PWE: As I said, there are no long-term studies, but we have well-documented five-year data from our market feedback and they look very good. We have very, very few problems with the Vicarbo screw and that makes us very positive for the future. But we can’t conjure up or speed up time: 10 or 20 annual dates are only available in 5 or 15 years. But this generally applies to any new development, regardless of the system.
In order to intercept this, of course, one generates enough data, which allows the conclusion that the materials or system used is stable to the entire long-term. These include artificial aging tests, alternating load tests in various medium or maximum load tests. All these tests showed that the Vicarbo material, due to its unique properties, is very suitable for this application. The values in cyclic stress tests are comparatively very high.
All ZERAMEX® systems currently available on the market are also approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Is there anything special to consider when handling titanium screws?
PWE: Basically not. Our Vicarbo screw is also a simple screw that is inserted by means of a prosthetic key. Because a comparatively soft screw is screwed into a very hard ceramic thread, the haptic feedback is a little different than when screwing two ductile materials such as titanium on titanium. Due to the specific properties of the two materials, our screw connection is also formed as a round thread, which is not found in titanium implants.
What advice would you give to dentists who are uncertain about ceramic implants? In the meantime, other manufacturers have also launched two-part reversible ceramic implnats. In addition to their system, there are, for example, ceramic implants with titanium screws or ceramic implants with ceramic screws. How do you see this personally, what will prevail in the market and what will work?
PWE: Quite simply, the system will eventually prevail, which is the easiest to use and delivers the best results. What system will be revealed? I leave coffee grounds reading to others.
What I can say, however, is that we have been working with Vicarbo for five years. We are very satisfied with the market feedback data and therefore play a decisive role in a very good way in the industry. The fact that well-known companies include our products in their portfolio underlines the confidence in our developments. We can also be proud of that.
As a company, we have also been dealing with ceramics for over twelve years, with a corresponding wealth of experience, setbacks and successes. We have invested a lot in experiments, tests and basic work, tested different compounds and materials to lay a serious and experimentally confirmed basis. Anything else in our industry would also be negligent. The decision to bet on Vicarbo was finally made because we came to the conclusion on the basis of the data that this is the best solution, which optimally complements the very specific properties of ceramics. But let us not forget that new products keep coming onto the market and a lot of clever minds are working on solutions. It is impossible to say what developments, improvements or revolutions are still to come and whether they are capable of displacing existing products. It is always interesting to observe the dynamics in the developments, for us from this field anyway!

The post The BioCompatible Difference: Why Metal Free Implants? appeared first on Emerginnova.
]]>The post Metal Out – Ceramics In! appeared first on Emerginnova.
]]>Metal-Free Ceramic Implant Technology is currently the fastest-growing and most innovative areas in dentistry. Intensive research and ongoing development, mean that zirconia implants are now ready to be taken seriously as an alternative to titanium implants for replacing missing teeth. Dentalpoint with its ZERAMEX® brand is a pioneer in “white implants”. In this interview with Ceramic Implants Magazine, Philip Bolleter, Head of the Technical Department, and Adrian Hunn, Head of Marketing and Sales, discuss the current state of ceramic implants.
Adrian Hunn has been a manager at ZERAMEX® since 2018 and is now in charge of marketing and sales. He has extensive international experience in senior management positions in sales and marketing.
Philip Bolleter was Head of Research and Development when Dentalpoint was first established. He is now in charge of the technical department of the company. He is also one of the brains behind the development of Dentalpoint’s groundbreaking ZERAMEX® technology.
Mr. Hunn, what impressions did you take away with you from the 2019 International Dental Show?
Hunn: Two core topics are clearly the center of interest for all suppliers on the market: digitalisation and new materials. Many suppliers have jumped on the bandwagon with ceramic implants and now include at least one type of ceramic implants in their portfolio. Naturally, we are very pleased about that. It indicates that we are on the right track and in which direction the trend is going. From day one, we have been uniquely focused on ceramic implants and the wisdom of this focus is now being confirmed. The second major topic, is digitalisation and we do not just want to fill gaps there, we will be at the forefront in 2019 with product development and innovation.
What makes ZERAMEX® different to other ceramic implant manufacturers?
Bolleter: The main difference is that we now have 12 years of experience in developing and processing ceramic implants. ZERAMEX® has dedicated itself to ceramics and metal-free systems and has concentrated exclusively on these. Unlike other manufacturers, we only use sintered and BIO-HIP alumina-toughened zirconia for manufacturing our implants. With the manufacturing processes developed and completed in-house, it is possible to guarantee the maximum strength and precision required. We successfully launched the robust metal-free, carbon fiber VICARBO connecting screw more than 5 years ago. These developments and our many years of experience are what set us apart from other ceramic implant systems.
Will ceramics replace titanium implants in the future?
Hunn: What we are seeing right now is a massive increase in demand from patients for metal-free implants. More and more patients want natural and biocompatible products and are asking their dentists about alternatives to titanium implants. Of course, this puts pressure on dentists to offer both titanium and ceramic implants. So, if they do not want to lose patients, they will be forced to offer ceramic implants as well. According to market studies, the market share of ceramic implants is currently about 3 to 5 percent. The share is predicted to rise to 24 per cent by 2022. For us, this means that above-average growth with ceramic implants is possible in such a quickly growing market.
Do you still hear about ceramic implants breaking?
Hunn: Some dentists still refer to the Tübingen implants, but this is much rarer now. Most dentists are very well informed and are aware that the materials used are not the same as 30 years ago. Discussions with professors from various universities in Germany and Switzerland have confirmed that there is no longer any question about whether our implants will break or can successfully osseointegrate at the implantation site. We have the same osseointegration success rates as leading titanium implants, and therefore, this is no longer an issue. The development stage to qualify the fact that we achieve osseointegration of ZERAMEX® implants has been completed. For this reason, we are now focusing on prostheses and esthetics and have made advances in this area. We will be able to present some further innovations later this year.
Can any patient who needs tooth prostheses be treated with ZERAMEX®?
Bolleter: Any conventional treatment for single tooth or bridges can be implemented with ZERAMEX® ceramic implants. Along with the usual contra-indications for the patient, there are also certain limitations in relation to reduced diameters or special abutments. But generally speaking, all options are possible. We will soon be launching the new screw-retained LOCATOR1 (Zest Dental Solutions) as well, and this will also make metal-free hybrid treatment possible in edentulous jaws.
What can customers expect from ZERAMEX® in 2019, and what innovations can the European industry look forward to?
Bolleter: Most innovations are happening on the digital side, where we will be introducing the full integration of the digital workflow. The workflow for digital impression taking with an intraoral scanner from the more recent ZERAMEX® XT system has already been available since March in Europe. The CAD libraries for exocad and 3Shape are now available for use. Fully individualised abutments or monolithic zirconia crowns will also be available later in the year. ZERAMEX® has established the new digital solutions department, which will be rolled out over the next few months for dentists, dental technicians and laboratories for optimal support with digital treatment. It will provide dental technicians with a comprehensive service package which they can use to send in data and in return receive a complete treatment plan, with little processing time required. In addition, the service center is on hand to offer advice to dentists by hotline and email. As for other innovations, there is the new metal-free LOCATOR. Also, a reduced diameter is going to be introduced for the ZERAMEX® XT system in autumn. There are more innovations and surprises in the pipeline, but we are keeping them under wraps for now.
Hunn: I would also like to add that, in addition to the innovations we have mentioned so far, there is going to be a revised ZERAMEX® brand image. At the end of the year, we will present our innovations in a roadshow to all interested parties, and I am really looking forward to that.
What advice would you give to dentists who are uncertain about ceramic implants?
Hunn: I would advise them to ask their colleagues about their experiences and which systems they can recommend. This often leads to a good exchange of important and interesting information. Of course, they always have the opportunity to contact us directly if they want, for example, to arrange a commitment-free test surgery. Our experienced specialist advisers are available to give practitioners advice and will also support them with dental procedures if needed. Every employee in our company thinks ceramic and can provide professional help and answer many questions in that regard.

]]>Treatment planning and surgical placement of the FDA approved ceramic dental implant ZERAMEX® XT by Dr. Alvaro Ordonez.
In this case, Dr. Alvaro Ordonez grafts a large defect utilizing cortical cancellous bone and a membrane prior to placement of the ceramic implant. He uses the Versah Osseodensification burs with a tapered design to match the implant shape. A lot of attention was paid to proper suture of the delicate soft tissue.
Case Report
This patient appeared in my office with a severely compromised tooth at #8. At the time, the patient was not ready for an implant and the decision was made to extract the tooth with the intent to place an implant at a later date. The tooth was carefully extracted using luxators to preserve the soft tissue surrounding the socket. A crestal incision was made from tooth #9 to #7 with a partial pocket flap. The defect was filled with cortical cancellous bone and covered with a PTFE membrane.
After 4 months the patient was eager to proceed with the implant. 2D and 3D scans were used for treatment planning of the case and the decision was made to select a ZERAMEX XT tapered, ceramic implant. A full flap was done to take full view of the hard tissue situation. Utmost care was taken to preserve the soft tissue. Bone density and ridge width were enhanced in this case by utilizing the osseodensification burrs by Verah.
We worked our way through the drilling sequence and finished with the final drill from the ZERAMEX XT Tapered kit to precisely match the shape and diameter of the implant. The implant was placed .6mm supracrestal and excellent primary stability was obtained. The implant with protected with the cover screw provided with the implant. Once again extreme attention was paid to the soft tissue. I enhanced the site with additional cortical cancellous particulate and covered with a resorbable collagen membrane. Final suturing was done with 4.0 PTFE with considerable attention again paid to maintaining the soft tissue.
I will soon come back and share the final outcome. We will take a fixture level impression and send a ZERAMEX zirconia abutment to the lab and a final crown will be connected to the implant using the VICARBO® screw. I am eager to share the results of this challenging case.
Dr Ordonez has been working with ceramic implants since 2005. In his practice ceramic are used as alternative titanium especially for patients requesting a natural and organic solution for missing teeth.

Instructor: Blanche Grube, DMD, MIABDM
Learn how to detect and treat cavitations; how to extract a tooth to prevent future cavitations.
Understanding & Unlocking Chronic Pain (hands-on course)
Instructor: Hal Blatman, MD
There is much more to diagnosing the source of a patient’s pain than radiologic studies and an accurate history. Pain is often not what it first appears to be, and symptoms are often misleading to the patient and practitioner. After the broken bones and skin are healed, most chronic pain comes from injury to the fascia that holds our bodies together. Learning how to examine for and detect new and old injuries to fascia will provide for a new understanding of pain and hands-on techniques that ensure a rewarding experience when treating pain complaints of all kinds. Headaches do not come from the head. Left arm pain may be an MI. Low back pain may not be coming from the lower back, and knee pain after joint replacement cannot come from the knee. Elbow pain is not epicondylitis. Foot pain does not always come from the foot or even the lower back. This day-long workshop will change forever how you think of and treat pain in your patients.
