Overview

Dentalpoint AG, founded in Switzerland in 2005, created the ZERAMEX line of ceramic implants and was taken over by the ceramics group CeramTec in 2021, after which the entity was renamed CeramTec Switzerland LLC. It is one of the small number of firms specialising in two-piece zirconia implants rather than titanium. The 2017 tie-up with Nobel Biocare is often cited as evidence that a large titanium maker took the ceramic segment seriously; it does not make ceramic and titanium implants interchangeable, as they differ in mechanics and handling.

Regulatory record

Read this before drawing conclusions. A clearance or certificate means a device may legally be sold in a market. It is not a finding that the implant performs well, and it is not a comparison against other implants. In particular, FDA "clearance" is not FDA "approval" — clearance means the FDA accepted the device as substantially equivalent to one already on the market. What these actually mean →

FDA 510(k) clearance3 records

Cleared as substantially equivalent to a predicate device. Not an FDA approval, and not a finding of safety or effectiveness.

Clearance records for Dentalpoint (CeramTec Switzerland) were retrieved from the issuing authority's own database, not from the manufacturer's marketing material. We attribute a clearance to a brand only when the filing holder belongs to that brand's corporate family — third-party clearances for compatible components are excluded, because they belong to the company that made the component, not to Dentalpoint (CeramTec Switzerland).
