DUBLIN, Ireland: Demographic data shows that populations around the world are becoming increasingly older, which leaves dental professionals with a high number of compromised patients and risk factors when it comes to dental implant treatment. Therefore, the demand for products that might reduce the need for invasive grafting procedures is high.
Straumann intends to meet the demand by broadening its Roxolid SLActive implant portfolio. At the EAO congress in Dublin, the global market leader in dental implantology is currently introducing its unique dental implant material Roxolid for all diameters and all implant lines. Moreover, the company has announced the launch of a new 4 mm short Roxolid SLActive implant line to be used in clinical cases with limited vertical space, as with severely atrophied jawbone.
All Roxolid SLActive implants feature the new Loxim transfer piece to simplify the handling. The combination of the high mechanical strength of Roxolid with the excellent osseointegration properties of the hydrophilic SLActive surface may allow dental professionals to avoid GBR procedures by choosing smaller sized implants, Straumann said.
Research has shown that the use of smaller diameters or shorter implant lengths can reduce the invasiveness of implant treatments and increase patient acceptance if invasive grafting procedures can be eliminated. Therefore, clinicians can reduce the treatment time, preserve vital peri-implant structures, decrease post-surgical complications, and gain new implant patients by offering products that seek to eliminate guided bone regeneration procedures. In these cases, patients can benefit from a less traumatic, less expensive and shorter treatment with a lifelong implant solution. All implants are covered by Straumann’s lifelong implant warranty.
