4.3 Placing the implant
A Straumann ® implant can be placed either manually with the ratchet or with the aid of the handpiece. A maximum
speed of 15 rpm is recommended. The following step-by-step shows how a Straumann ® Standard Plus Implant is
placed with the handpiece (left column on the following pages) and how a Straumann ® Bone Level Implant is placed
with the ratchet (right column).
Note
Straumann ® Bone Level implants must be rotationally oriented for both, handpiece and ratchet insertion (see Step 5 on
page 49). Apart from this exception, all Straumann ® implants are placed in the same way.
