Implant lines
the straumann ® Dental implant system comprises three implant lines:
p
p
Straumann Standard: this implant type has a smooth neck section of 2.8 mm
and is suitable particularly for single-stage procedures, when the implant is not
covered with soft tissues during the healing phase (transgingival healing).
Straumann Standard Plus: the straumann standard Plus line offers the dental
surgeon additional options: the shorter smooth neck section of 1.8 mm (compared
to the 2.8 mm standard implant) also allows submerged healing as well as
transgingival healing, which is employed particularly in the anterior tooth region of
the maxilla, where aesthetic demands are high.
p Straumann Tapered Effect: this line is a combination of two shapes, which
imitate the natural dimensions of alveoli:
p Good primary stability is achieved through the cylindrical shape in the apical
region.
p the conical part (taper) has the same shape as the alveolus in the
coronal region.
the smooth neck section of the tapered effect implants is 1.8 mm long (similar to the
standard Plus line). this type of implant has a special thread with a pitch of 0.8 mm.
Depending on the implant type, the implants of the straumann ® Dental implant system
are available with the following specifications:
