What international experts say about the new Straumann® TLX Implant System

Various international experts had the opportunity to test the new Straumann® TLX implant in an early stage. The feedback was very positive. For example, Dr. Louwrens Swart from South Africa if of the opinion that "the larger bone-to-implant surface combined with the simplicity of the prosthetic interface is a game changer." Read more expert statements on TLX here.

“The TLX implants are easy to restore and have the same root structure as the BLX. For example in full-arch rehabilitation we routinely use immediate loading. The larger bone-to-implant surface combined with the simplicity of the tissue level prosthetic interface is a game changer.”

Louwrens Swart, DDS, Master (MFOS), Cape Town (South Africa)

Clinical case report by Louwrens Swart: "Immediate placement and loading of Straumann® TLX in lower first molar – 1 Year follow up"

“The future of implant dentistry lies in neck designs that pair a smooth surface in the transmucosal area with a micro-rough surface inside the bone ... TLX combines this concept with an innovative endosteal design.”

Prof. Dr. Daniel Buser, University of Bern (Switzerland)

"I was involved in the development of the new Straumann® TLX implant system, so the first time I used it (in a sinus lift procedure) was a very exciting moment for me. I particularly liked the ease of the protocol and the great macro-stability achieved during the surgical procedure.”

Antonio Castilla Cespedes, DDS, University of Barcelona (Spain)

“The TLX is a good combination of the traditional Tissue Level and the BLX implant. It combines the best of both worlds. The TLX is also excellent for creating a soft tissue seal around the implant shoulder. As long-term complications always start from the peri-implant mucosa, dentists should pay much more attention to this interface.”

Dr. Mario Rocuzzo, Torino (Italy)

Clinical case report by Mario Rocuzzo: "Immediate placement of a new fully tapered tissue level implant"

“Surgically, the TLX behaves exactly like the BLX. It offers you a very much simplified protocol in immediate treatments, making it easy to achieve primary stability. You can also use it with more traditional protocols. But with the TLX you always have the option to expand your toolbox according to your experience.”

“I have used bone level implants over the last 12 years, achieving consistently good results. But the TLX might be an even better solution for the soft tissues around the machined collar. It is incredible to see the beautifully healed tissues, and I can recommend these implants to everyone.”

Abid Faqir, BDS, MSc, Glasgow (Scotland)

“The TLX implant brings a lot of clinical benefits to my practice. Now we have the machined collar and the long-term tissue stability of the original Tissue Level implant, combined with the benefits of the BLX for immediate implant placement. Consequently, I very often use the TLX for immediate protocols.”
