Straumann Announces Bone Level Implant

Last Updated: Mar 11, 2008

Consistent Emergence Profilesâ„¢ for optimal soft tissue management

bl_implant_hires.jpgStraumann has complemented its highly successful dental implant system with a new generation of bone level implant, the Straumann Bone Level Implant. The new implant line combines proven design elements with innovative concepts to achieve predictable highly esthetic results. One novel design feature that helps to ensure successful soft tissue management – a key factor in achieving esthetic outcomes – is Straumann’s concept of Consistent Emergence Profilesâ„¢. This harmonizes the emergence profiles of the prosthetic components throughout the treatment process, in addition to facilitating the production of temporary and permanent restorations, as well as minimizing the risk of complications.

All prosthetic components of the Straumann® Bone Level Implant line have consistent emergence profiles: the healing abutment, the temporary abutment, and the final restoration abutments. As a result, the soft tissue is prepared optimally from the outset through to the final restoration. Components with consistent emergence profiles can be inserted without pinching or causing the patient pain. Interference in the natural development of soft tissue is minimal.

The Straumann® Bone Level Implant is available in three endosteal diameters: 3.3 mm, 4.1 mm und 4.8 mm, and in four lengths: 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm and 14 mm. Straumann has developed and offers a comprehensive prosthetic portfolio that meets the various needs of dental professionals and patients. In addition to a broad range of standard abutments for crowns, bridges and bars, there is a LOCATOR® and an individualized custom abutment service in ceramic or titanium.

The connection (taper) of this Bone level implant is not the same as their regular (transmucosal) implant. The parts are not the same. Is it valid to say that, just because they have the same surface they will perform the same?

I desparately need a "screw removal kit" for a broken screw in my bone level 4.1x12 mm Strauman implant. Can anyone help me. Backlog is 5 weeks, can't wait. Please email me. Thanks, Rob Jones

Dr Jones. I will pass on personal experience with quite a number of broken screws. Not Strauman since I do not use them. If you can visualize the top of the implant and screw fragment, dry well, keep air one it and I use a sharp explorer, with extremely light pressure, but enough the get the screw fragment to move, rotate counter clockwise. It will slip but keep rotating around the outer diameter of the screw. Once the screw is slightly above the head of the implant, use a 557 bur in a turbine and touch the left side of the screw and it should literally fly out. The same can be said of using a cavitron rotating couter clockwise with extremely light pressure. If you cannot visualize the site very well, then a removal kit may be inorder. I have never had to use them. Be very careful, if the head of the fragment is burred over you are done (with this technique). No guarantee, it has worked for me.

Backlog on screw removal kits? Sounds like Strauman has an issue with their new vaunted bone level implant.
