A highlight of IDS will be the full European market release of Straumann BLX, a recently introduced fully tapered implant system designed for immediate treatment protocols that complements the company’s premium portfolio and is positioned to win significant share in this segment.

The Straumann BLX implant system is a solution for confidence beyond immediacy. It builds on the success of the company’s apically tapered Straumann BLT implant line, which continues to grow strongly and still offers significant potential. The new BLX addresses the fully tapered implant segment, which is the fastest-growing segment and now accounts for one in every four implants placed.

Straumann BLX has been designed for immediacy and it is also a potential solution for all other indications to suit the dentist’s preferred treatment protocol, ranging from immediate to conventional placement and loading. The intelligent implant concept allows for Straumann dynamic bone management and is designed for immediate protocols in all bone types.

Having already received very positive results and feedback, Straumann BLX combines an innovative design aiming for optimised stability with the high-performance Roxolid metal alloy and the SLActive surface. This creates an implant system that offers new levels of confidence—for immediacy and beyond.

In addition to launching BLX, Straumann will use its booth to highlight key topics concerning current industry focuses and trends, each featuring a range of products, solutions and services. These include

• Straumann Pro Arch Fixed Solutions, offering tailored fixed, immediate full-arch restorations on four to six implants with a highly aesthetic prosthetic outcome;
• Straumann DenToGo, a remote dental monitoring solution that enables orthodontists and dentists to remotely monitor the treatment progress in their patients;
• Emdogain FL, the first product that has been clinically demonstrated to eliminate and sustainably regenerate periodontal pockets as part of scaling and root planing and dental hygiene procedures (regulatory approval pending).
