SLActive® and Roxolid®:
New Evidence Supports Straumann’s Innovations
Straumann is pleased to present new evidence to further support the benefits of Roxolid implants and the revolutionary SLActive surface.
Roxolid implants feature the SLActive surface, and are the first titanium-zirconium alloy implants developed specifically for dental implantology. Roxolid and SLActive combine high strength with excellent osseointegration to provide greater confidence and flexibility in treatment with small diameter implants.

Roxolid Ø 3.3 mm Implants Demonstrate Higher Fatigue Strength than Selected Competitors’ Narrow Diameter Implants
Results of a fatigue strength test showed that Roxolid implants have higher fatigue strength than the competitors' narrow diameter implants included in the study. Roxolid can provide more confidence to clinicians when placing small diameter implants.
Evaluation of a New Titanium-Zirconium Implant: A biomechanical and histological study in minipigs
Results of this pre-clinical study demonstrated that titanium-zirconium implants with the SLActive surface further improved osseointegration compared to titanium implants with the SLActive surface.
SLActive Outperforms Selected Competitors’ Implants in Pre-Clinical Removal Torque Study
SLActive implants showed significantly higher implant stability compared to selected competitors' implants with non-hydrophilic surfaces, as assessed by removal torque evaluation at 3 and 6 weeks in an animal model. Implants tested in this study were Strauman SLActive®, Zimmer® Tapered Screw Vent®, Implant Direct® ScrewPlant™, and Osstem™ GS II Fixture.
SLActive vs. NanoTite: Influence of Hydrophilic and Nanostructured Titanium Implant Surfaces on Bone Regeneration in Dehiscence-type Defects
This animal study concluded that significantly higher bone-to-implant contact was measured along SLActive implants after 4 and 8 weeks compared to NanoTite™. In this study, bone regeneration in surgically-created dehiscence-type defects is supported by SLActive implants rather than by NanoTite implants.
SLActive vs. TiUnite: Influence of Implant Design and Surface on Osseointegration
The results of this animal study concluded that implants with the SLActive surface demonstrated significantly higher shear strength values compared to the TiUnite® surface at 3 and 6 weeks after implant placement.
