The zirconia implant system Zeramex XT

The Zeramex XT dental implant belongs to the family of two-piece and 100% metal-free Zeramex ceramic implants. It offers maximum prosthetic flexibility, thanks to reversible screw-in connection and an unlimited range - particularly in the anterior area.

The Zeramex XT ceramic implant offers three different platforms (SB / RB / WB) in lengths of 8, 10, 12 and 14 mm and is particularly suitable for anterior restorations, thanks to its small diameter and digital workflow.

 The Zeramex XT ceramic implant is placed 1.6 mm supracrestal, but can optionally be placed deeper (up to 0.6 mm supracrestal). The cylindrical-conical design of the implant thread was developed to achieve high primary stability. The reservoir for bone grafts at the implant tip simplifies the placement of the implant.

The Zeramex XT ceramic implant is manufactured from hard zirconium oxide ATZ blanks manufactured by hot isostatic pressing. No thermal process (sintering) or post-processing takes place after the final shaping of the outer and inner geometry of the implant. This ensures that no further changes can occur in the material structure. This manufacturing process is very complex, requires a great deal of experience and expertise and enables a high shaping accuracy and precision in the manufacture of the implant.

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

The success rate for the Zeramex XT implants used with the Zerafil surface is 98%, and bears witness to the decisive osseointegration thanks to an optimum surface structure.The hydrophilic implant surface Zerafil (surface treatment up to a collar height of 0.6 mm) is sandblasted and etched so that osteoblasts can grow directly up to the dental implant and firm adhesion to the implant surface can be achieved⁴.

The four cross-shaped retentive elements provide an ideal transmission of torque when inserting the implant, allowing the dental implant to be screwed into the bone without stress peaks. This unique internal connection ensures a precise and prosthetically flexible restoration.

The special geometry with the four tips enables high precision and fast and easy insertion and alignment of the abutment. All abutments are designed with the four tips, including the Zerabase and 'unengaged' Zerabase X abutments for bridge restorations.

The core of the connection is the Vicarbo screw.

It works like a bolt, which anchors the abutment in the implant. The extremely hard ceramic is combined with a very stiff, carbon fibre-reinforced high-performance PEEK polymer. Similar to reinforced concrete, the ceramic absorbs the compressive forces, while the Vicarbo screw counteracts tensile forces.

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 (3 mm/4 mm). The secondary temporary abutment made of PEEK allows individual temporary restoration.

The range of metal-free prosthetics is extensive and satisfies the stringent requirements with regard to aesthetics and functionality. The Zeramex XT implant, in combination with its various standard abutments, is ideal for nearly every situation.

The standard abutments are available for all three platforms (SB / RB / WB) with different shoulder heights and angles.

The Zeramex XT implant system is used for the following indications:

• Individual tooth restorations
• Bridge restoration using several implants
• Bar restoration using several implants
• Removable restoration abutments
• Telescopic restorations

Zeramex Docklocs® is a pre-finished connection system to secure removable restorations based on a snap connection.

Zeramex Docklocs® abutments are available in three sizes (2 mm/3 mm/4 mm) and fit to all platforms (SB/RB/WB).
