To demonstrate the performance, science and reliability of Straumann’s latest implant innovation, the Straumann Bone Level Tapered Implant, the company has launched the #StraumannLegend campaign, in which the groundbreaking material and surface technologies of Roxolid and SLActive combine with a tapered design for legendary strength and ossoeintegration properties.

The video can be viewed at www.straumann.us/straumannlegend.

In this campaign, the legend of King Arthur and the sword of Excalibur is put to the test as he initiates his quest to remove the sword from the stone. Despite his exceptional strength, the sword remains firmly entrentched in the stone — much like the outstanding high tensile strength[1] and faster osseointegration[2] of Roxolid and SLActive that define the Bone Level Tapered Implant, which is designed for a strong, long-lasting solution for dental implant therapy.

The video clip is the cornerstone of an awareness campaign to underline the strength and reliability of the Straumann Bone Level Tapered Implant. Together with the supplementary clinician testimonial videos, scientific reports, a social media engagement tool, and a special introductory offer for a free implant and abutment, the video can be found at http://www.straumann.us/straumannlegend.

As a global leader in implant dentistry for over six decades, the integration of a tapered implant design is a natural extension of the company’s implant line. The Straumann Bone Level Tapered implant is designed to provide excellent primary stability and flexibility in challenging clinical and anatomical situations. Straumann’s SLActive implant surface offers fast osseointegration and reduced healing times from six to eight weeks to three to four weeks[2]. As a result, secondary stability is achieved faster and the patients overall treatment time can be shorter.
