Straumann is one of the leading brands of implant dentistry worldwide. With its headquarters located in Switzerland, it is not only the best in the field of implantology but also in restorative dentistry and oral tissue regeneration. The dental implant systems they offer are known as the best and most reliable products available on the market. Their state-of-the-art intra-oral scanning and CAD/CAM prosthetics are carefully designed to deliver the best possible outcomes. Along with implant systems and prosthetics, Straumann also offers products that regenerate oral tissue to complement the treatment plan and improve the prognosis. Their best seller is Emdogain, an enamel matrix protein that regenerates tooth surfaces. For further innovations, Straumann has selected several qualities that all its implant systems must possess. They must be reliable for a quick healing time and an ideal tissue response. They must also be simple to use for fast and efficient surgeries. They should also be versatile, offering a selection of prosthodontic options for all indications. Tiring years of research and innovation have contributed to making Straumann part of the ITI (International Team for Implantology), which comprises only the best dental clinicians and research institutes worldwide. With 50 years of research and practice, including over 70 locations globally, Straumann has met all standards required to produce a successful dental implant.
This consists of the implant lines, SLActive, Cassette, and instruments. The implant lines are divided into three systems: the standard implant, which is the leader in one-stage or trans-gingival healing; the standard plus implant, the most flexible selection for esthetic considerations; and the tapered effect implant, a specialized system used for immediate and early implantation.
SLActive was introduced in 2005, and since that time, it has been notably successful. The surface it uses (SLA surface) reduces healing time from 6-8 weeks to only 3-4 weeks, making it the gold standard used in modern implantology. With its third-generation hydrophilic implant surface, the device offers improved predictability and a shortened healing period, making it beneficial for both users and patients.
With the use of Straumann’s latest technology and expertise, the bone-level implant offers a solution for all bone-level treatments, preserving the features necessary for a successful implant. There are many prosthetic choices, including temporary, anatomic, gold, cementable, and multibase abutments, as well as LOCATORS, PLAN sets, and bar abutments. Indicated for all cases, it is biologically accepted and facilitates conventional esthetic results.
In conjunction with the SLActive, the Roxolid combines high strength using titanium and zirconium, with exceptional osseointegration. It provides more treatment options for small-diameter implants, while also improving patient acceptance of implant treatments.
Straumann Blx, launched in 2019, is the newest product from Straumann and is made of Roxolide titanium. Available in sizes such as 3.75mm, 4.5mm, 5.5mm, and 6mm, it covers the entire demand.
Connection Features:
Straumann offers a range of options for the final restoration. Included are the crown and bridge, as well as hybrid prosthetics. The crown and bridge can have a narrow neck, making them suitable for replacing upper lateral incisors and lower incisors where space is minimal. Another is the synOcta prosthetic system, which is ideal for regular and wide necks, and is used for all indications, making it the most versatile. Finally, a solid abutment system is used for regular and wide-neck implants, suitable for cemented crown and bridge prosthetics. Hybrid prosthetics may be a retentive anchor using a simple impression technique yet providing a secure and straightforward denture; LOCATOR abutments that are supplied in different heights, providing a safe and easy incorporation of the denture; steco titanmagnetics system; synOcta bar restoration that makes sure the denture is securely placed, at the same time, splinting the implants; or synOcta telescopic crown restoration.
Every patient has different needs, and sometimes, there is a need to replace not only missing teeth but also missing bone. The Emdogain is used to regenerate periodontal attachments. This product regulates cementum formation on the root of developing teeth by utilizing various proteins, providing a foundation for all necessary tissues associated with a proper functional attachment. The Emdogain PLUS uses the same principles except that it is indicated for wider periodontal defects. PrefGel is a root surface conditioner used to gently remove the “smear layer,” preventing or slowing down healing during periodontal surgery. It is topically applied to the exposed root surface during the surgery. The Straumann bone ceramic is a fully synthetic bone substitute that offers flexibility in a range of bone regeneration procedures. Composed of triphasic calcium phosphate, this favors the formation of new bone. Its advantages include outstanding wettability, exceptional handling, user-friendly design, optimized morphology, homogeneous phase distribution, excellent bone formation, and a minimal amount of material.
