Straumann Launches Small Diameter Soft-Tissue-Level Implant


Straumann released its new-generation, small-diameter, soft-tissue-level implant to customers in the US, Europe and Australia. The new implant, which is called the Straumann® Standard Plus Narrow Neck CrossFit® (NNC), is used for tooth replacement in situations, where space or bone is limited. It combines the exceptional strength of Straumann’s Roxolid® material, the fast osseointegration of the SLActive® surface and the reliability and improved handling advantages of Straumann’s CrossFit® connection.

Small diameter implants are used for limited inter-dental spaces or narrow bone ridges. The NNC is indicated for a variety of uses, including: single-tooth replacement and multiple-tooth replacement with bridges and fixed or removable over-dentures.

Being a soft-tissue-level design, the new implant facilitates soft-tissue management and can be placed in a one-step procedure that avoids a second surgical intervention. It is thus designed to simplify treatment and reduces the number of dental visits. The NNC complements Straumann’s small-diameter bone-level implant – no other company is able to offer small-diameter implants made of Roxolid for both soft-tissue-level and bone-level applications.
