2.  Straumann 2 The implant-abutment connection may be of great importance for long-term stability and successful outcome of a restoration. The combination of Straumann abutments on Straumann implants is designed to achieve the best possible performance of the implant-abutment connection and therefore of the entire restoration.

4.  Straumann 4 Genuine vs. compatible components Genuine components are original components designed and manufactured by a company to fit harmoniously into another original component by the same company. ‘Compatible’ components are designed to fit into another company’s genuine - often patented - component. However to get around the patent, the ‘compatible’ part needs to be made differently than the original design. This can increase the risk of complications. Genuine Components: Restorative Success

31.  Straumann 31 The Risks of Mixing Straumann ® Implants with Non- Straumann Abutments Non-Straumann abutments cannot satisfy Straumann’s strict design and engineering specifications. Any compromise in the abutment-implant connection can lead to complications including micro-gap bacterial colonization shown to cause bone loss or even a failed implant. To protect the integrity of your procedure choose components designed for optimal precision.

34.  Straumann 34 Is It Straumann ® ? How to Tell Our custom abutments bear distinguishing marks that make it easy to be sure you’re using authentic Straumann components. For Straumann ZrO 2 CADCAM components (top row), look for the black laser line around the screw shaft. For both ZrO 2 and Straumann Ti CADCAM components, look for the distinctive yellow and purple tops. The more you know, the more confident you can feel. Yellow Magenta
