The Zeramex Workshop
addresses selected issues in ceramic implantology in a specialized and in-depth way. “From practice for practice”: we would like to give you the opportunity to obtain comprehensive information from a competent source about current trends and challenges in ceramic implantology. At the Zeramex workshop, you will have the opportunity to discuss your own experiences, but also, in particular, specific treatment concepts based on case studies with colleagues. We see the target group of the event as including beginners as well as experienced users, referrers and anyone who wants to find out more about the application of two-part screw-retained ZERAMEX ceramic implants.

Please note:
The Zeramex workshop will take place at the headquarters of CeramTec Switzerland AG in Spreitenbach.
You will have the opportunity to personally visit the production site of your Zeramex implants.

WORKSHOP W3 13:30-15:30

powered by Camlod
Dr. Frank Maier M.Sc.

Ceralog Progressive Line and augmentive procedures
Today two-piece ceramic implants offer a similar procedure to what
we are used to with titanium implants. The implants can be inserted at an angle compared toone-piece implants, augmentative procedures can be carried out with the implantation and superstructures can be screwed onto two-piece implants. The two-piece systems are therefore desired and the subject of research.

This workshop provides information about new developments and the use of zirconia implants.
Facts, not ideologies, are discussed. The possibilities and limitations of two-part zirconia systems
and various augmentation techniques are shown. The surgical and prosthetic procedures are
demonstrated using clinical cases.

The workshop will include a hands-on training session.

WORKSHOP W4 13:30-15:30

powered by Z-Systems
Dr. Mariane Sordi M.Sc.

Precision in practice: zirconia implant placement with Z-Systems (with Hands-on)
