VIENNA, Austria: At this year’s EAO congress, Straumann has announced the launch of several new products, including a new two-piece ceramic implant and a mini-implant system. The company has also presented initial results from the preclinical and clinical programme that is underway on its innovative fully tapered implant BLX.

Straumann PURE Ceramic Implant portfolio expanded
The Straumann PURE Ceramic Implant range is designed for highly aesthetic tooth replacement. Made from a high-performance ceramic with the colour and translucency of natural tooth roots, the implants have a ZLA surface to provide highly predictable osseointegration.

To complement the existing PURE monotype design, Straumann is launching a two-piece solution that adds prosthetic flexibility, considerably facilitates handling and is suitable for guided implant placement.

The PURE range is included in Straumann’s Lifetime Plus Guarantee programme and will be released in a limited number of markets initially. The full market release is expected to follow in the course of next year.

A new standard in mini-implants
Straumann has developed a premium mini-implant that is just 2.4 mm in diameter. Like the company’s BLT implant, it has a tapered design to achieve the high primary stability needed for immediate replacement protocols. In addition, the implant has a specially designed thread, which reduces the drilling protocol. The Mini Implant is made of Roxolid and has an SLA surface to enhance reliable osseointegration. It also features a Optiloc connection, which uses a combination of amorphous diamond-like carbon coating and PEEK inserts to achieve low friction between the implant and the matrix, resulting in favourable wear resistance, long-term performance and low maintenance.

Straumann estimates that as many as one in ten implant procedures globally are for full-arch reconstructions. Very small-diameter monotype dental implants offer a cost-effective, immediate and minimally invasive solution for edentulous patients with reduced horizontal bone. More than a million mini-implants were placed in 2017 and their popularity is growing rapidly, as their use can avoid bone grafting procedures, which would otherwise be necessary to support wider implants.

Spotlight on BLX
In order to address the fully tapered implant segment, which is growing the fastest and now accounts for one in every four implants placed, Straumann has been collaborating with the world’s leading experts in the field in developing its advanced BLX fully tapered implant system.

According to the company, this next-generation system, which also features Straumann’s proven Roxolid and SLActive technologies, was designed to optimise primary stability in all bone classes, to simplify restorative workflows and to achieve predictable outcomes—even in complex cases.

Straumann at EAO
Today, during Straumann’s corporate forum at EAO, prominent experts will be presenting the latest preclinical and clinical evidence on the new implant, including data on its osseointegration and bone maintenance properties and the implant’s broad spectrum of indications.

The presentations start at 5 p.m. CET today and will be streamed live on the company’s website and social media.

In addition, Straumann is hosting two workshops with distinguished experts to provide dentists with hands-on experience with the BLX and to promote new techniques. Both workshops were quickly booked out.

For more information, EAO attendees are invited to visit the Straumann booth (#D04).
