Introduction ZERAMEX® – inherently good Quick and straightforward solutions that offer you and your patients longterm confidence – this is what ZERAMEX® stands for. This natural, highquality ceramic alternative is totally metal-free and has proven itself in all of the studies and tests carried out to date. Therefore, our ceramic implants meet all expectations – not only in terms of aesthetics and restoring speech and masticatory function, but also in terms of a premium material guaranteed to be without side effects. The pioneering, two-piece implant system is technologically advanced and...

Biocompatibility and aesthetics ZERAMEX® implants were developed for the health conscious and discerning patient. As a result, they are all manufactured from biocompatible zirconium oxide. Therefore, intolerance or adverse interactions with bone or other tissues can be ruled out. Moreover, there are no reactions with other dental materials which may already be present in the mouth. Long-term stability Beyond our success in the development of ZERAMEX®, we are continuing our product research with the aim to durable and safe solutions. No intolerance or interactions with bone or tissue have...

The ZERAMEX® brand 5 good reasons to smile 100% metal-free ZERAMEX® implants are manufactured from metal-free zirconium oxide and require no metal screw for reten­ tion. This high-performance ceramic material can therefore be used for patients with any kind of metal intolerance, with metabolic disorders, such as diabetes, and other autoimmune diseases. The life span of ZERAMEX® implants is comparable to titanium restorations. As they are cut from a hard, hot isostatic post-compacted (HIP) blank, the implants are extremely stable. Fatigue tests at EMPA, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for...

The secret formula The fundamental element zirconium is found as a free oxide or as a compound with silicon oxide in volcanic rock formations. Chemical washing and purging processes extract the silicate sand from impurities and convert it to the metal-free zirconium oxide. We use diamond cutters exclusively to carve the implants and abutments from hard, hot isostatic post-compacted (HIP) blanks. The difficult procedure of processing the complex inner geometry of the implant can only be entrusted to skilled experts with extensive know-how and experience in this field. The surface quality...

Studies and clinical trials ZERAMEX® – scientifically proven Cellular response The in vitro response of osteoblast cells (MG-63 cell line) to zirconium oxide surfaces of different kinds was the subject of investigations in 2010 in collaboration with the School of Dental Medicine at the University of Bern (ZMK Bern) under the overall direction of Prof. Dr. Daniel Buser. Prof. Dr. Rainer Gruber and Dr. Erik Hedbom were responsible in the Laboratory of Oral Cell Biology. In 2010, Prof. Dr. Dieter Bosshardt led a comparative histological and histomorphometric in vivo study of the bone...

Long-term study The clinical development study has been underway since 2009, with 70 ZERAMEX® implants and around 50 patients in the School of Dental Medicine at the University of Geneva, under the direction of Prof. Dr. Andrea Mombelli. The interactive procedure and resulting data have enabled system adaptations in surgical, prosthetic and functional applications: • Optimisation of tools for the surgical procedure • Height of the etching on the implant neck • Optimisation of the implant surface and design • Constructive and material adjustments • Development of ZERALOCK™ Furthermore, the...
