Straumann 2

The implant-abutment connection may be of great importance for long-term stability and successful outcome of a restoration.

The combination of Straumann abutments on Straumann implants is designed to achieve the best possible performance of the implant-abutment connection and therefore of the entire restoration.

Genuine vs. compatible components

Genuine components are original components designed and manufactured by a company to fit harmoniously into another original component by the same company.

‘Compatible’ components are designed to fit into another company’s genuine - often patented - component. However to get around the patent, the ‘compatible’ part needs to be made differently than the original design. This can increase the risk of complications.

Connection design

Conical screw head is designed to offer the clinician additional benefits:

- High resistance to lateral forces

- Even load distribution

- Distribution of anti-rotational and bendingforces

- Even stress distribution to avoid peak stresses

- Minimizes loosening or breakage of the screw

Two extremes:

A) Biting once on a hard object

(e.g. stone pit in fruit)- single incident

- very high forces

B) Years of chewing - millions of cycles

- low to moderate forces

Limitations of Competitor Design

Competitor abutments are not designed using Straumann’s precise engineering specifications

The square-shaped connection, shown here, provides surface contact with only the protrusions and can undermine security

The resulting imprecise fit leaves gaps that can lead to compromised performance

The Risks of Mixing Straumann® Implants with Non-Straumann Abutments

Non-Straumann abutments cannot satisfy Straumann’s strict design and engineering specifications.

Any compromise in the abutment-implant connection can lead to complications including micro-gap bacterial colonization shown to cause bone loss or even a failed implant.

To protect the integrity of your procedure choose components designed for optimal precision.

Is it Straumann? How to Tell

Straumann 34

Is It Straumann®? How to Tell

Our custom abutments bear distinguishing marks that make it easy to be sure you’re using authentic Straumann components.

For Straumann ZrO2 CADCAM components (top row), look for the black laser line around the screw shaft.

For both ZrO2 and Straumann Ti CADCAM components, look for the distinctive yellow and purple tops.

The more you know, the more confident you can feel.
