ZERAMEX® P6

ZERAMEX® P6 offers great flexibility with its reversible threaded connection and ceramic abutments. The lean, uncomplicated portfolio offers many options to choose from.

• Monolithic crowns and bridges made of various optimised plastics or zirconium dioxide
• All-ceramic crowns and bridges made of layering or pressed ceramic on a zirconium dioxide cap

Different shoulder heights and angles make it possible to find the correct abutment in every case for an aesthetically demanding, 100% metal-free individual-tooth restoration.

The ZERAMEX® P6 implant system offers various abutments for optimal anchoring of an implant-supported full denture in an edentulous jaw.

The ZERAMEX® Locator®^[81] is used for securely fixing a full denture on implants. The various retention inserts with different retention forces facilitate individual restoration.

NOTE: The Locator®^[81] abutments are bonded into the dental implant. The straight or angled prefabricated abutments are suitable for bars and telescopes.

The ZERAMEX® healing cap, gingiva former and temporary abutment help to achieve the desired shape of the peri-implant soft tissue after the healing phase. The gingiva formers are available in two heights. The temporary abutment made of PEEK allows individual temporary restoration.

A decisive further development of the ZERAMEX® P6 system is the precision connection that is created in combination with the carbon fibre reinforced VICARBO® screw. This minimises bacterial deposits.

The correct, permanent fit of the screw-retained abutment promotes the long-term success of the treatment. This screwed ceramic-ceramic connection is a precision, stress-free fit.

Easy abutment positioning

• The hexagonal indexing ensures reliable protection against rotation and easy and safe positioning of the abutment.

• The high-strength zirconium dioxide P6 abutment (ZrO2-ATZ-HIP) lies precisely on the implant shoulder.

Secure retention and simple handling

• Hexagonal indexing for optimum flexibility and reliable protection against rotation.

The new carbon-ceramic technology provides exceptionally high strength. The core is the VICARBO® screw made of reinforced, high perfromance carbon fiber threads.

It is characterised by excellent isoelastic properties and demonstrates clear strengths: It is metal-free, biocompatible according to ISO 10993 for long-term implants and nestles into the given contour.

This is also proven by the technical values:

• Modulus of elasticity: 110 GPa.
• Bending strength: Greater than 1.100 MPa.
• Tensile strength: 2.000 MPa (comparison: Grade 5 titanium: 1.000 MPa).

The continuous carbon fibres running parallel to the mould durably absorb the tensile forces and give the VICARBO® screw its high strength.

The ZERAMEX® P6 ceramic implant is based on a design that represents one of the most scientifically documented implant systems and is characterised by a low loss rate.

In practice, the ZERAMEX® P6 ceramic implant has proven to be an easy and efficient ceramic implant to work with. It is placed with a similar surgical protocol to the Straumann® Standard Plus dental implant. ZERAMEX® is offered with its own instrument kit. A special transfer part (pickup) for insertion and a prosthetic key are required.

The implants are available in three endosseous diameters (3.3; 4.1; 4.8 mm) and two prosthetic platforms (4.0; 4.8 mm).

The ZERAFIL™ surface is a micro-structured implant surface that enables decisive osseointegration of the dental implants.

The success rate of ZERAMEX® implants with a ZERAFIL™ surface is approx. 98.0 percent, depending on the system, and bears witness to the decisive osseointegration thanks to the optimum surface structure.^[4] The hydrophilic implant surface ZERAFIL™ is sandblasted and etched so that osteoblasts grow directly up to the implant and firm adhesion to the implant surface is achieved.^[1]
