The Esthetic Line implant is a conical shaped implant and it is endowed with generous apical threading which provides superb primary stability, especially in soft bone.
The prosthetic connection of the EL has a Morse taper locking connection which delivers an added level of security against abutment loosening, micro movements and other issues that are a result of implant connection gaps.
The platform switching, Concave Esthetic Concept dental prosthetic system of the EL implant system offers a large range of options as well as tissue shaping possibilities. Despite the large range of prosthetic freedom, the system remains uncomplicated and easy to use due to the fact that the prosthetic connection is the same for all implant diameters.

The Gingival Level dental implant is a conical shaped implant with an internal hex connection. The implant is endowed with a micro grooved collar for cortical maintenance and crowned with a polished rim to accommodate soft tissues.
This dental implant benefits from an internal hex convex platform that provides an ideal seal when joined to the GL abutments which in turn have a concave shaped platform. Implants of the GL range have the same platform dimensions despite differing diameters and thus allow for a simplified prosthetic protocol.
The convex implant platform, in conjunction with the concavity of the implant’s base form a “suction cup” fit, once the abutment is tightened into final seating.
Extending down for one millimeter down from the top of the implant platform, the polished surface is ideal for accommodating the gingival tissue.
The micro threads increase functional surfaces, adapting them to the compact cortical bone tissue and safeguard it against aggression from larger threads to be found in conventional implants. The micro-threads are essential to the maintenance of cortical bone height around the implant.
The complete GL family is endowed with a single connection. Independent of the implant diameter, one abutment fits all. Thus reducing system complexity and cost.
The double-helix design sets c-tech Implants apart from the single helix implants by giving them a more symmetrical introduction into the bone. This translates into masticatory load balance which drastically reduces stress. Its symmetry also renders the implant self-centering, eliminating any form of misalignment in terms of the main axis of the osteotomy site. The pitch of the threads allows for an insertion time that is reduced by half.
Protection of the sinus floor, nerve canal and other important anatomical structures during insertion
The implant surface is blasted with aluminum oxide and then subjected to progressive etching using citric acid.
This surface treatment accelerates the osseointegration process by providing a greater and more uniform area of contact between bone and implant while favoring an immediate implant load. The treatment provides for a uniform surface with progressive trabeculation to be achieved. An additional advantage of the citric acid treatment is that it leaves no traces following decontamination,
further reducing the risk of implant failure.
The Mono Block is a one piece implant with a diameter of 3mm. The system offers 2 prosthetic options; O-ball head for removable full prosthesis as well as tapered abutment for crown and bridge applications.
To better accommadate the differing soft tissue and bone requirements that are encountered in the upper and lower jaw, the system is endowed with 2 main body profiles.
Choice between square or O-ball head depending on fixed or removable applications.
A tapered head with a 4,8mm height above the 3,1mm platform offers and optimal base and structure for the fixed reconstruction.
MAN-OB/MAN-TAP smooth collar provides the platform switching height to accommodate the average mandibular gingival tissue.

Material purity starts with the acquisition of raw material from only the most reliable sources of which each lot is accompanied by its own material certificate and is completely traceable at all phases of production and later use. The production facility in which all the implants and components are made is owned and operated by C-TECH and is certified to the highest standards governing the production of dental/medical devices. To maintain these standards, regular and independent audits are performed by the German auditor, TUV Süd. All up to date certificates are available for download on the company website.
The machining of the EL implant is an intricate process due to the precision required for the Morse conical connection and the exterior complexity of the implant. This intricacy requires double the machining time that would be necessary for that of an average implant. Throughout and following each step of the production process, the implants are thoroughly cleaned in 5 seperate cleaning stages, consisting of a total of 20 cleaning cycles. This attention to cleanliness is in order to assure that no risk of any production residue is remaining on the implant surface.
The surface topography is created through a patented acid etching process. The adjacent photos made with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) demonstrate the lack of impurities on the implant surface as well the abundant surface area created through the patented acidification process.
The purity of the grade 4 titanium used for the EL implant and the surface topology were independently verified through an investigation carried out with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) by the University of Cologne and Medical Material Research Center of Berlin, Germany. The investigation demonstrated the highest level of purity and cleanliness resulting in the award of the BDIZ quality seal. This investigation is avaliable in its long form on the C-TECH website.
The successful achievement of a Morse lock and cold weld seal in the implant-prosthetic connection depends on high precision machining. A perfect Morse connection will result in a structural integrity and strength that will be as if the 2 parts were fused together and thus will practically eliminate the gap between the implant and the abutment. Accordingly, the C-TECH components are machined to a tolerance of within 10 microns.
This mechanical fusion of the prosthetic part and the implant has 2 important benefits; prevention of the bacterial colonization of the gap, which can lead to bone loss around the implant, as well as the elimination of micro-movements between the implant and abutment and the consequent screw loosening which can lead to prosthetic failure. The SEM photos on the right show different magnifications of the tight abutment and implant connection. The final photo at the bottom, at 1000 X magnification, shows a fine line where the abutment and the implant meet. This practically nonexistent gap is less than the 1,5 microns width of the bacteria to be found in the oral cavity.
