6 Clinical evidence and Science THE PROMOTE® IMPLANT SURFACE Fig. 3_Histological view of buccal crestal bone level preservation and soft tissue attachment at the implant abutment interface of CONELOG® SCREW-LINE implants Promote® plus at 12 weeks in dogs. Courtesy of Prof. Dr. F. Schwarz The Promote® Surface was initially only applied to the implant body of CAMLOG® implants while the implant neck remained untreated (1.4 mm machined surface). In 2006, as addition to the portfolio, the smooth-rough margin was set 0.4 mm from the implant shoulder allowing maximum flexibility of the vertical implant position. The ‘Promote® plus surface’ was introduced. With the market launch of the CONELOG® implants in 2011, the Promote® plus surface was applied all the way up to the implant shoulder (Fig. 4). Characteristics: The CAMLOG® SCREW-LINE implants are available with both the Promote® or Promote® plus surface. Difference is the length of machined neck section: 1.4 mm versus 0.4 mm. The CAMLOG® PROGRESSIVE- LINE implants are available with Promote® plus. The CONELOG® implants Promote® plus, have a micro-rough surface up to the implant shoulder. The beveled implant shoulder (45°) on top of the CONELOG® implants is acid etched only (Fig. 4).
