The Straumann^® BLX implant system has been designed to optimise outcomes in a wide range of clinical indications.

The innovative SLActive^® surface promotes effective bone regeneration, even in compromised sites,[i] [ii] [iii] [iv] enhancing predictability for highly successful immediate loading protocols[v] and reducing healing time to 3-4 weeks in some cases.[vi] [vii]

These features are supported by the innovative Roxolid^® material, which preserves the natural structures and boosts vascularisation.[viii] [ix]

Straumann ImmediaXy^® takes immediacy to the next level by facilitating same-day restoration in a wide range of indications using a unique and comprehensive suite of solutions from dental data acquisition to restoration.
