1. straumann ® DentaL imPLant system<br />
Implant lines<br />
<strong>the</strong> straumann ® Dental implant system comprises three implant lines:<br />
p<br />
p<br />
<strong>Straumann</strong> Standard: this implant type has a smooth neck secti<strong>on</strong> of 2.8 mm<br />
and is suitable particularly for single-stage procedures, when <strong>the</strong> implant is not<br />
covered with soft tissues during <strong>the</strong> healing phase (transgingival healing).<br />
<strong>Straumann</strong> Standard Plus: <strong>the</strong> straumann standard Plus line offers <strong>the</strong> dental<br />
surge<strong>on</strong> additi<strong>on</strong>al opti<strong>on</strong>s: <strong>the</strong> shorter smooth neck secti<strong>on</strong> of 1.8 mm (compared<br />
to <strong>the</strong> 2.8 mm standard implant) also allows submerged healing as well as<br />
transgingival healing, which is employed particularly in <strong>the</strong> anterior tooth regi<strong>on</strong> of<br />
<strong>the</strong> maxilla, where aes<strong>the</strong>tic demands are high.<br />
p <strong>Straumann</strong> Tapered Effect: this line is a combinati<strong>on</strong> of two shapes, which<br />
imitate <strong>the</strong> natural dimensi<strong>on</strong>s of alveoli:<br />
p Good primary stability is achieved through <strong>the</strong> cylindrical shape in <strong>the</strong> apical<br />
regi<strong>on</strong>.<br />
p <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>ical part (taper) has <strong>the</strong> same shape as <strong>the</strong> alveolus in <strong>the</strong><br />
cor<strong>on</strong>al regi<strong>on</strong>.<br />
<strong>the</strong> smooth neck secti<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> tapered effect implants is 1.8 mm l<strong>on</strong>g (similar to <strong>the</strong><br />
standard Plus line). this type of implant has a special thread with a pitch of 0.8 mm.<br />
Depending <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> implant type, <strong>the</strong> implants of <strong>the</strong> straumann ® Dental implant system<br />
are available with <strong>the</strong> following specificati<strong>on</strong>s:<br />
