Taking implant technology to a new level

  Posted by: Dental Design      13th November 2023

For an implant that offers incredible tissue response, even in challenging areas, discover the Straumann^® TLX Implant.

Designed for immediate protocols, its use reduces the risk of inflammation and bone resorption as the implant-abutment interface is moved away from the bone. Its machined collar manages the healing of peri-implant tissue and preserves soft tissue that forms around the implant during healing.

Made with Swiss precision and utilising Roxolid^® (which preserves vital structures and vascularisation)[i] and SLActive^® (which reduces healing time to 3-4 weeks),[ii] the Straumann TLX Implant System complements the company’s bone-level BLX Implant System.

In an independent study on peri-implantitis,[iii] the probability of being diagnosed with peri-implantitis nine years after implant therapy was lowest with the Straumann Tissue Level SLA Implants compared to alternative systems.

Discover the TLX Implant from the global leader in tooth replacement and orthodontic solutions, Straumann^®, today.
