iExcel™ 2025 — The Best of Both Worlds

The TLX was engineered to answer a long-standing clinical question: what if the simplicity of tissue-level placement could be combined with the versatility of a modern internal connection? The answer is the Tissue Level CrossFit® (TLX) — a design that retains the polished transmucosal collar familiar from classic tissue-level implants while adding the CrossFit® connection for access to the full range of contemporary prosthetic options, including digital CAD/CAM workflows.

Tissue Level Advantages

Polished collar positioned at mucosal margin — reduces bacterial adhesion at the critical biological width zone

No microgap at the bone level — eliminates peri-implant bone loss risk from platform switching concerns

Simplified restorative workflow — healing cap often serves as the definitive soft tissue former

Proven long-term clinical documentation spanning decades of tissue-level implant use

CrossFit® Connection Advantages TLX OnlyAccess to modern Straumann prosthetic portfolio including Variobase® and custom abutments
15° conical Morse taper seal — superior anti-rotational stability and micromotion control
Compatible with digital impression and CAD/CAM crown workflows
Unified connection across iExcel™ system simplifies inventory management

SLActive® Surface Hydrophilic

The SLActive® surface on the TLX follows the same proven chemistry: sandblasted large-grit + acid-etched, stored in isotonic NaCl, contact angle <5°. This near-complete hydrophilicity accelerates early blood clot stabilization and osteoblast recruitment, achieving reliable osseointegration in 3–4 weeks — enabling earlier loading compared to 6–8 weeks with conventional SLA®.

Roxolid® Alloy TiZr

Roxolid® titanium-zirconium alloy offers 15% greater strength than pure titanium, allowing the TLX to maintain structural integrity even in the 3.75 mm narrow diameter configuration under occlusal loading. For the TLX wide-body options (Ø 5.5 and 6.5 mm), Roxolid® ensures long-term fatigue resistance in posterior high-load zones.

Clinical Advantages

Why Choose TLX

The TLX bridges two decades of tissue-level clinical evidence with next-generation prosthetic engineering.

⬡

Transmucosal Collar

The polished 1.8 mm transmucosal collar extends above the bone crest into the soft tissue, creating a biologically stable interface at the gingival margin and reducing the need for dedicated abutment connections at every procedure.

🔗

CrossFit® Internal Connection

Unlike traditional tissue-level implants with external hex connections, the TLX uses the modern CrossFit® 15° conical connection — providing superior mechanical sealing, lower screw loosening rates, and access to the full iExcel™ prosthetic library.

⚡

Reduced Procedure Steps

The tissue-level design often eliminates the need for a separate abutment connection appointment — the polished collar naturally guides tissue healing, reducing chair time and simplifying the overall treatment sequence.

Multiple Collar Widths

NT (Narrow Tissue), RT (Regular Tissue), and WT (Wide Tissue) collar configurations allow precise matching of implant platform to the site anatomy — from narrow ridges and anterior teeth to posterior molar sites requiring wider emergence profiles.

NT — Narrow Tissue

Narrow collar platform. Indicated for sites with reduced interproximal space or narrow ridges, typically anterior maxillary and mandibular positions.

RT — Regular Tissue

Regular collar width. The standard choice for premolar and anterior molar sites, balancing emergence profile with peri-implant tissue support.

WT — Wide Tissue

Wide collar for posterior molar positions and cases requiring broad emergence profiles — provides maximum cortical bone engagement in wide sockets.
