Straumann TLX

The tapered implant with its collar in the gum

TLX is Straumann's tissue-level version of the tapered BLX design. The top of the implant rises through the gum instead of sitting at bone level, which moves the join between implant and abutment away from the bone.

When it may be considered

  • Cases where the dentist prefers the implant–abutment join above the bone
  • Cases suited to a one-stage procedure without a second uncovering surgery

Why a dentist may choose it

  • Same Roxolid® material and SLActive® surface as BLX
  • Three platform sizes (NT, RT, WT) with the same internal connection
  • Same internal connection across all platforms
How it differs from other Straumann implants

BLX and TLX share material, surface and connection type. The main difference is where the implant ends: at bone level (BLX) or in the gum (TLX).
