Over the past 30 years Straumann have developed their implant dentistry portfolio on a scientific foundation and continuously increase treatment safety.

It is not uncommon for cheap manufacturers to promote their products with price differences by comparing their undocumented, second generation products against the most expensive, high-end premium solutions such as Straumann's third-generation hydrophilic SLActive® surface.

Endorsed by more than 25 ongoing studies, SLActive® is one of the best investigated and well documented implant surfaces on the market. Without clinical substantiation, low price implants simply have no claim to equivalence. Even when it comes to simple design features and finish, the claim that a cheap implant is an equivalent alternative must be based on comparative long-term data to support it, which often is not the case.

Straumann offers great flexibility, for example in terms of prosthetic range and planning, with simple handling and workflow. These are just two of many elements of their value proposition, which, together with Straumann's lasting quality and service, explains why Straumann is a premium implant solution.
