zirc<strong>on</strong>ium alloy (Roxolid ® ).<br />
1.5.1 Titanium<br />
The complete <strong>Straumann</strong> ® implant portfolio is available made of titanium<br />
grade 4. <strong>Straumann</strong> titanium grade 4 is cold worked in order to enhance <strong>the</strong><br />
mechanical strength. Titanium has shown an excellent biocompatibility <strong>on</strong> a<br />
l<strong>on</strong>g term. Its metallic structure allows for producing <strong>the</strong> implants with <strong>the</strong> SLA ® /<br />
SLActive ® surface, thus enabling a good osseointegrati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
