STRAUMANN ROXOLID

Roxolid® is an alloy of ~85 % titanium and ~15 % zirconium. The combination of the properties of these two metals leads to higher tensile and fatigue strength than comparable titanium implants (Bernhard et al., 2009; Grandin et al., 2012; Ho et al., 2008; Kobayashi et al., 1995).

The combination of Roxolid® material with the SLActive® surface leads to better peri-implant bone response and higher removal torque values com­pared to titanium SLActive® Implants (Gottlow et al., 2012; Thoma et al., 2011; Wen et al., 2013) and can therefore be successfully used in immedi­ate and early treatment protocols (Bornstein et al., 2010; Buser et al., 2013; Nicolau et al., 2013).
