Straumann BLT (Bone Level Tapered)

In plain English

A widely used all-round implant with the CrossFit conical connection.

The top of the implant sits level with the jawbone. This gives the dentist the most freedom to shape the gum for a natural look, which is why it is the most common type today.

Specifications

What the connection means

The abutment sits inside a cone in the implant, like a cork in a bottle. The tight fit reduces micro-movement and bacterial leakage and usually allows platform switching.

About the surface

An SLA surface that is kept wet and chemically clean in a saline-filled container until surgery. It attracts blood and cells faster, which studies link to quicker early healing.
