For every indication and every need.
Materials of the Straumann® Dental Implant System
Benefits at a glance
Looking for the long-term proven standard, exceptional strength for reduced invasiveness or metal-free esthetics? In addition to our ground-breaking implant surfaces, we also offer a unique portfolio of different dental implant materials. For every indication and the patient’s specific needs and requirements, you can choose between grade 4 titanium, Roxolid® or zirconia.
Patient acceptance
Less invasive treatment plans (= faster healing and less post-operative discomfort) can help to overcome many patient doubts.
Evidence
The successful use of Roxolid® has been documented in numerous clinical trials with up to 5-year follow-ups.8
Flexibility
More treatment options with smaller implants.
Osseointegration
The excellent osseointegration properties of Roxolid® implants in combination with our SLActive® surface9,10 leads to reduced treatment complexity.4-7,11,12
Preservation
Preserves bone and less invasive grafting procedures.

The best in the industry
High-performance Zirconia
For our Straumann® PURE Ceramic Implant system, we use high-performance zirconia ceramic. The innovative manufacturing process is followed by a 100% proof test where forces are applied that exceed the maximum human bite capability, and only implants that pass the test leave the production site. The successful use of Straumann® PURE Ceramic implants has been documented in numerous clinical indications.
