Basic information on the SURGICAL PROCEDURE - Straumann

Correct fit of the Tapered Effect implant in the bone
in the final position, the cylindrical/apical part of the implant ensures primary stability.
the conical part of the implant lies next to the bone. correction of the vertical
position by reverse rotation (counter-clockwise) should be avoided. this can lead to a
reduction in primary stability.
Particular features with the Tapered Effect implant
p the conical region of the implant bed must be shaped with a special tapered
effect profile drill.
p in order to avoid any resorption due to pressure on the bone, tapered effect
implants should not fill the alveolus completely. (hDD). their primary stability is
achieved with the cylindrical part of the implant.
p in most cases, central drilling does not follow the axis of the alveolus exactly. it has
to be shifted slightly in the palatal or lingual direction in order to obtain a correct
implant position.
in general, the implant position should not be chosen only on the basis of the
available bone. rather, the desired prosthetic result should act as the basis for the
decision, even if this necessitates bone augmentation measures*.
* This technique should be employed only by dentists who have adequate experience in the
use of augmentation procedures.

Note
Tapered Effect implants should only be inserted by dentists who have
adequate experience in oral implantology!
