Thanks to Straumann's continuous research, they offer the widest range of support for those with missing teeth. They have now reached a point where they can carry this out even without bone augmentation, if necessary.
Bone loss is not an obstacle to dental implantation
Straumann's new 4mm short implant, developed for patients with bone defects, has been demonstrating for 5 years that invasive surgery is no longer necessary. During clinical tests, it held up just as flawlessly as its 3-times longer counterpart in 94%%of cases.
Bone grafting, sinus lift supplemented with own membrane
This result was achievable thanks to the solid retention and bone integration of Roxolid®. Thus, we can state that there are cases where bone grafting is no longer necessary.
What makes the material and surface of Straumann implants special?
The material of a Straumann Roxolid® implant is an alloy of 15%% zirconium and 85%% titanium, which provides one and a half times the retention strength compared to traditional titanium implants. This is a significant difference, especially considering the demands of everyday use.
To shorten the healing time, the unique SLActive implants have a hydrophilic surface, which binds to water, thus promoting bone thickening for a secure hold.
This method takes only 1 month between the implant and the finished tooth, whereas with bone grafting and traditional implants, the process takes half a year.
How does the implantation proceed?
After we have taken a 3D X-ray of your teeth, we will determine the bone height of the area to be treated. If this is less than 8-10 mm, you will require bone grafting to replace your tooth.
With the new method, the treatment is the same as with any other implant placement. By opting for the new, short implant, you will no longer have to worry about the surgery caused by bone grafting and the months of waiting.
When is it worth deciding on an implant?
With 30 years of experience, Straumann has created a professional-quality implant that has achieved the highest success rate globally, with a total of 8 million happy patients, thanks to its high resistance and unique surface.
If you desire dental prosthetics that most faithfully replicate the naturalness of your original teeth, then choose Straumann Roxolid®. The path to success begins with a beautiful smile.
