CAMLOG SCREW-LINE
The original Camlog titanium platform, with a large installed base across Europe. If you have a Camlog implant placed some years ago, this page is probably the relevant one.

What it is
Camlog's catalogue describes CAMLOG SCREW-LINE implants as slightly conical, self-tapping screw implants, noting they can be placed with a screw-mounted insertion post and can be positioned near the maxillary sinus. The body geometry mirrors the CONELOG SCREW-LINE; what differs is the connection at the top.
The identification point
Camlog's two titanium platforms share body designs and naming conventions, which makes them easy to confuse. They do not share components. If you have a Camlog implant and need restorative work, establishing which platform you have is the first step, and if your records say only “Camlog SCREW-LINE” without specifying the connection, that is not enough.
Camlog is far more common in Europe than in Canada, so if your implant was placed abroad, tracking down the original documentation is worth the effort before you need it.
A note on Camlog's ownership
Since 2016 Camlog has operated alongside BioHorizons under Henry Schein's Global Oral Reconstruction Group. For component availability this is reassuring, Henry Schein is one of the largest dental distributors in the world. It also means that if you are comparing a Camlog quote against a BioHorizons quote, you are not comparing independent companies.
Questions worth asking your dentist
- Is this the CAMLOG platform or CONELOG, specifically?
- If I have an existing Camlog implant, can you determine the platform from my records?
- Are components for this platform readily available in Canada?
- Which body design are you using, and why?
- What diameter and length are you planning?
- Will you record the platform, diameter, length and reference number in writing?
