Straumann® Bone Level Tapered

Straumann® BLT

SLActive® · Roxolid® · CrossFit® Connection

The Bone Level Tapered implant combines a tapered body design for outstanding primary stability in soft and compromised bone with the proven SLActive® surface — achieving predictable osseointegration in just 3–4 weeks. Built from Roxolid® titanium-zirconium alloy, it enables narrower diameters without sacrificing strength.

Advanced Technology

Proprietary Innovations

Every element of the BLT is engineered for superior clinical outcomes — from alloy composition to surface chemistry.

SLActive® Surface Hydrophilic

SLActive® is a hydrophilic evolution of the classic SLA® surface. The implant undergoes sandblasting with large-grit corundum followed by acid-etching, then is stored in isotonic NaCl solution to preserve surface reactivity. The result is a contact angle of <5° — almost perfectly wettable — compared to ~140° for conventional SLA. This dramatically accelerates protein adsorption and cell attachment, compressing the osseointegration timeline to 3–4 weeks versus 6–8 weeks with standard SLA.

Roxolid® Alloy TiZr

Roxolid® is Straumann's proprietary titanium-zirconium (TiZr) alloy, containing approximately 13–17% zirconium. This binary alloy achieves 15% greater tensile strength than commercially pure titanium (Grade 4), without compromising biocompatibility or osseointegration. The enhanced mechanical properties allow clinically confident use at narrow diameters (Ø 2.9–3.3 mm) in sites with reduced bone volume, minimizing the need for augmentation.

Key Advantages

Clinical Benefits

Four defining features that make the BLT the implant of choice for demanding bone situations.

⬡

Tapered Apex Design

The progressive taper at the implant body creates a compression force in the surrounding bone during insertion, maximizing primary stability — particularly important in soft (Type III–IV) bone and fresh extraction sockets.

⚡

Accelerated Osseointegration

SLActive® surface reduces healing time to 3–4 weeks versus the traditional 6–8 weeks, supporting earlier loading protocols and reducing overall treatment time for patients.

🔗

CrossFit® Connection

The conical CrossFit® internal connection provides a 15° Morse taper seal. Available in NC (Narrow CrossFit, Ø3.3 mm implants) and RC (Regular CrossFit, Ø4.1 and Ø4.8 mm), offering extensive prosthetic versatility.

↔

Expanded Diameter Range

From Ø 2.9 mm SC to Ø 4.8 mm RC — the widest range in the BL family — enabling treatment of narrow ridges, laterals, and mandibular incisors without compromising mechanical integrity, thanks to Roxolid® alloy.
