ZERAMEX XT is a two-piece, screw-retained system that functions surgically and restoratively like current titanium implants.

This case shows a ZERAMEX XT 4.2 x 10 mm implant placed in a healed extraction and grafted site. The implant placement was done four months post-tooth extraction and grafting.

The implant was restored using the VICARBO Carbon Fiber screw and zirconia abutment.

At the one-year follow-up with the patient, the implant shows no peri-implant inflammation. In addition, no movement or bone loss can be observed.
