Straumann Slactive

[Tamsin]

Hi

I understand that you only place straumann Slactive implants in your clinic. I have heard that Slactive dental implants are better than other types of implants because they have a different surface.

Could you tell me what are the main differences between Straumann Slactive implants and other implant brands? How long have Slactive implants been around? How quickly do these implants heal?

Thank you for your post.

We prefer Straumann SLactive implants because so many clinical studies carried out on the SLactive surface strongly support the benefits of the SLActive surface.

SLActive is the next generation in implant technology and was supported by more scientific studies than any other dental implant technology at the time of its market launch in 2006.

The Straumann Slactive surface optimizes implant stability in the critical early treatment period, thereby enhancing treatment predictability.

Conventional titanium surfaces are hydrophobic and thus repel fluids, whereas the chemical purity and retained surface energy of SLActive give it remarkable hydrophilic properties. As a consequence, the surface quickly attracts blood and proteins, promoting faster osseointegration around the implant.
