Das Wichtigste in Kürze
- Premium implant systems (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Camlog) show 95–98% survival rate over 10 years — comparable.
- Decisive difference: digital compatibility (CAD/CAM, scanbodies, planning software libraries).
- SLA/SLActive (Straumann), TiUnite (Nobel Biocare): surface technologies with proven effect on osseointegration.
- Traceability is legally mandatory (EU MDR 2017/745) — demand an implant passport.
- Digital compatibility enables more precise restoration and easier later repairs.
- Ask: 'Which system do you use and why?' — a reputable dentist answers transparently.
Not all dental implants are equal — but the difference is not where most patients expect it. This article explains what makes a high-quality implant system, why digital compatibility is a decisive quality criterion — and which questions you should ask your dentist.
Surface Technology: What Science Says
| Technology | Manufacturer | Principle | 10-yr Survival |
|---|---|---|---|
| SLA / SLActive | Straumann | Sand-blasted + acid-etched; SLActive hydrophilic | 96–98% |
| TiUnite | Nobel Biocare | Anodised titanium oxide layer (porous) | 95–97% |
| Progressive-Line / TiZr | Camlog | Titanium-zirconium alloy, roughened | 95–97% |
| OsseoSpeed EV | Dentsply Sirona (Astra Tech) | Fluoride-modified surface | 95–97% |
Conclusion: Digital Compatibility Is the New Quality Criterion
Premium system survival rates are comparable. The decisive difference lies in digital compatibility: systems fully integrable into the digital workflow enable more precise planning, better outcomes and easier later repairs. Ask your dentist about the system — and demand an implant passport. That is your right.
