Implants

20 I Iuser report_ Camlog implants1_2013 ception. Four Conelog® Implants were placed in the maxilla and two in the mandible. Even distribution of the maxillary im- plants is essential to ensure adequate retention and the distribution of occlu- sal forces.(Fig 21) After a healing period of three months the implants were uncovered and Loca- tor Attachments (Zest Anchors) were torqued on. (Fig 22) This was followed by construction of a new set of implant retained overden- tures. (Figs 23&24) I have found working with the Camlog company extremely refreshing as have my colleagues. They are a fast moving and forward thinking set up who have embraced the modern way of communi- cation, back up and teaching. I find their on-line blog service Camlog Connect extremely useful. The platform demon- strates case studies from international clinicians via videos, pictures and we- binars. There is also an excellent iPad/ iPhone App which makes all the infor- mation required at your fingertips._ Fig. 24 _About the author Sunny Kaushal BDS (U. Birm) Dip Imp Dent RCS (Eng) MSc (U.
