ZERAMEX® XT – The ceramic / zirconia implant impresses with its high prosthetic flexibility.
ZERAMEX® P6 – The ceramic / zirconia implant has particularly simple and efficient procedures.
The implant and the abutment are made of highly compressed zirconium dioxide blanks and meet the high requirements for strength, biomechanical stability and accuracy of fit. ZERAMEX® ceramic implants are also corrosion resistant and do not conduct electricity or heat.
The design of the connection was developed to minimize bacteriological colonization or deposit.
It is distinguished by enormous isoelastic properties and has clear strengths: metal-free, biocompatible according to ISO10993 for long-term implants. Modulus of elasticity: >160 GPa., tensile strength: 2.000 MPa.[82] (Comparison: Titanium grade 5: Modulus of elasticity: 114 GPa., tensile strength: 1,100 MPa.[83])
The continuous carbon fibres modified to suit the shape durably absorb the tensile forces and give the VICARBO® screw its high strength.
(all values according to manufacturer's specifications)
They are highly biocompatible, completely free of metallic corrosion and conduct neither electricity nor heat. Titanium can release titanium ions that can accumulate in the surrounding soft tissue and cause inflammation. When exposed to surface bacteria the corrosion resistance of titanium can also be reduced. These effects are completely excluded by using metal-free implants.

Work with the usual procedures and offer all-ceramic, screw-retained restorations. With the upcoming integration into the Exocad and 3Shape CADCAM systems, you will also benefit from the advantages of a digital workflow.
The low deposit of plaque simplifies hygiene for the patient and promotes inflammation-free gums.
The case study of Oliva shows successful 5-year data, Manzano concludes that there is no significant difference in Bone Implant Contact (BIC) between titanium and ceramic implants. Very good osseointegration of the ZERAFIL™ surface was documented with the ZERAMEX® system and a success rate of approx. 98% was reported. The research group of Prof. A. Mombelli could not detect any peri-implant infections after three years (ZERAMEX® T).
Peri-implantitis can lead to loss of the implant if not treated. The ZERAMEX® implant can help to minimize certain risk factors of peri-implantitis:

It is placed in a similar way to titanium implants. ZERAMEX® is offered with its own instrument kit. A special transfer part (pickup) for insertion and a prosthetic key are required.

This case presentation features a patient who is missing tooth #8 on the anterior zone. On August 4, 2021, Dr. Thomas Bilski chooses to place a ZERAMEX XT 2-piece Zirconia Dental Implant
Emergency treatment after patient broke the tooth at gum level. The case was conducted by Dr. Luis A Alicea & Dr. Luis F. Alicea at Your Desired Smile, Tampa, Florida
