Straumann ® Bone Level implants
Straumann ® Bone Level implants are best set with the outer rim of the small 45° sloping edge (chamfer) at bone level.
Ideally, in the esthetic region, the implant shoulder should be positioned about 3 – 4 mm subgingival of the prospective
gingival margin (see also use of Bone Level transfer part on page 48).
In a scalloped situation, place the mesial/distal point of the outer rim of the
implant to bone level. The lingual/palatinal wall will then extend slightly over
the top line of the implant. The buccal wall is located somewhat below the
implant edge.
