A winning recipe for implant success

  Posted by: Dental Design      24th March 2023

The Straumann^® BLX Implant System offers a winning combination of innovative design and cutting-edge surface technology for the outstanding treatment outcomes your patients deserve.

Dynamic bone management redistributes native bone and controls the torque of implant placement for optimal primary stability. The Roxolid^® material promotes vascularisation, preserves natural structures and provides a solution for compromised cases. [i] [ii] ⁱⁱ [iii] The SLActive^® surface material then supports bone regeneration and facilitates immediate implant techniques for confident treatment delivery.[iv] [v] [vi] [vii] [viii]
