Straumann Implant System: Pros and Cons?

I had the same question when I first started. I don't think I am experienced enough to give some advice but for me it was... Case selection , very strict protocol and keeping in mind that no case is "easy". I chose 3i -so I could blame myself for any failure -but it could have straumann Nobel or any other well established brand

i would suggest you find a company the has great support. That has a number of courses you could take...and videos. That you get attention when you need it. That has ease of placement and restoration. There is no such thing as a "simple implant or implant case" Start slowly...ask question...find a mentor. We have been using Bicon exclusively since 1986. They have always met all the above criteria. Hope this helps. Go slow...but go!

Great advice, Straumann has a steeper learning curve. I use four systems based on clinical application.

Straunann +ves 1. available both bone and tissue level. so can be used in all locations and indications 2. one of the best surface and conical connection 3. available in pure titanium and roxolid alloy 4. great service 5. backed my extensive research -ves 1. price 2.tissue level is challenging in aesthetic area for starters 3. not designed to give you high insertion torques 4. surgical kit is conventional and hasnt evolved over the years. if u dont use straumann own w&h motor. you need to change drill rpm manually for each drill which is a pain. 5. Tissue level doesnt have self tapping thread so can easily become a spinner in soft bone and require a bone tap wit rachet in hard bone. For years i used Astra for anterior and straumann for posterior. Now i use blueskybio straumann and astra compayible gr8 implant for less than half the price. hope it helps.

I love the Straumann system, tissue level (or clones) for the posterior have one of the best connections with the Morse Taper connection for the off the shelf solid abutments. Have not had any issues with "loose abutments" using this system. Bone level for the anterior area, very good for esthetics / soft tissue emergence. Support from local colleagues is invaluable, search out local study clubs, many members are open for mentoring in this area. I use surgical guides in 90%+ of all my placements....helps insure that you have the implants in the correct position and angulation, so the restorative phase is more predictable and less stress.

I've switched over to megagen. I find it fits best for me in my practice. Do yourself a favor and look as in depth as you can a all systems. There is no "one size fits all" implant system. But megagen comes close for me. Good luck

We restore many implant types, but I really like Straumann. Great support team, very well thought out and designed implant and restorative components. Your local Straumann Rep. is a great source of information to get you started. Also, check out your local Straumann, ITI (The International Team for Implantology) study group.

In my practice ,i have used almost what comes in my way..korean.israel,US,German etc. I found it that ultimately it depends upon the surgeon how comfortable,with that system..everyone has specific liking in practice after get experience. Recently i have used,Biogenesis ,which i found very good due to,no of aspect.. It has tissue level and bone level implants. Diameter starts from 3.0,to,7.0 and,length 5.5. Onwards whichbi could
