Enhancing implant outcomes

  Posted by: Dental Design      17th April 2021

Dr Abid Faqir, Past President of the ADI and is currently practising at Scottish Centre for Excellence in Dentistry, shares what he thinks of the Straumann® BLX implant for immediate protocols:

“I use the Straumann^® BLX implant for immediacy, because it was designed with immediacy in mind and everything about it and its characteristics are exactly what an immediate implant needs to be. For example, it enables very high primary stability and the SLActive^® implant surface is perfectly suited for faster healing. Restoratively, it has the perfect connection and all the various components are available to allow immediate restoration.

“I am currently using various solutions from the Straumann Group, including the BLX^® implant system, Smile in a Box and the Straumann^® Pro Arch concept, as well as trialling new implants coming through. The reason why I’m so closely involved with the Straumann Group is because they are renowned for research and highly tested products. They are market leaders and always have been. I think they’re such a progressive company – although not the fastest to market, they are the most predictable and the most well-researched, giving me the most confidence for my patients.”
