Straumann BLX

In plain English

Designed for immediate placement and soft bone. Uses one connection (TorcFit) for all diameters.

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.
