Clinical evidence and Science 3 Importance of scientific documentation of implant systems Pre-clinical and clinical studies and the knowledge gained from them help to understand the interface between the dental implant and the surrounding oral tissues as well as identifying areas where additional scientific research is required. Looking at the past development of dental implants and the history of publications, bone and soft tissue healing around dental implants varied greatly depending on the implant design, implant surface, and the surgical approach. Therefore, the importance of evidence-based implant systems is a prerequisite for predictable clinical outcomes in the practice. The overriding goal must be to maintain the implant longevity for the benefit of the patients. From the beginning on, the Camlog company has set high standards in scientific documentation of all essential properties of their implant systems either independently by their Research and Development department or as a sponsor. Furthermore, their effort in supporting research projects in basic as well as in applied science was strengthened by the establishment of the Oral Reconstruction Foundation (www.orfoundation.org). A lot of topics like bone response to implant treatment, placement and loading time, implant and connection design, Platform-Switching concept, prosthetic treatment, and long-term success were covered in multiple publications and articles in highly ranked international scientific journals. Additionally, new scientific knowledge and findings were the basis of further developments of the CAMLOG® and CONELOG® Implant Systems. The CAMLOG® and CONELOG® Implant Systems are state-of-the-art The CAMLOG® Implant System with its butt-joint Tube-in-Tube® connection is one of the world’s leading implant systems. Since its market introduction in 1999, millions of implants have successfully been inserted to restore the oral situation of the patients both aesthetically and functionally. Over the years, the features of the system have been continuously improved based on the scientific state-of-the-art (Fig. 1). The SCREW-LINE implant geometry came to market in 2002 and is very well scientifically documented. The CONELOG® Implant System, on the other side, offers a patented tapered implant-abutment connection, and features the same outer geometry except for the upper shoulder section as the CAMLOG® Implant System. In 2019, the PROGRESSIVE-LINE design was introduced for both implant systems and covers modern treatment options like immediacy, soft bone, and many more. This product line is currently part of many ongoing clinical investigations. Other features common to both systems include the surface texture, the implant body and thread design, the surgical instruments, and prosthetic parts. Depending on the research question the clinical data obtained from one system could therefore be transferred to the other system. This brochure gives an overview on numerous published scientific articles relating to the CAMLOG® and CONELOG® Implant Systems with the task to help the dentists and clinicians to stay up to date with the latest evidence and applying it effectively in clinical practice. In addition to the publications cited in this brochure, a series of further important literature are named in the separately available ‘Literature Overview’ and of course Camlog as a company continues to invest in ongoing and future research.
