Bone Control Design™ Microgap control Factor 2

Bone Control Design™- 5 1.Microgap control 2 Supporting evidence  Microgap measurements  Mechanical stability of system to lateral forces Relation to crestal bone maintenance  microgap  bacterial contamination  inflammation (peri-implantitis)  bone resorption Implementation in Straumann ® Bone Level implants  Conical Connection  The conical connection is designed to provide a seal and minimize the sensitivity to lateral forces

Bone Control Design™ Biomechanical implant design Factor 3

Bone Control Design™ Biomechanical implant design Relation to crestal bone maintenance  Strength to withstand chewing forces  Bone must be stimulated in a certain range to be maintained and not overused or resorbed Implementation in Straumann ® Bone Level Implant  Excellent fatigue strength  Flat neck portion, similar to S/SP/TE implants  Excellent force transmission with a novel connection design  Tapered Effect thread geometry Supporting evidence  Fatigue testing, finite element (computer simulated) testing  Preclinical and clinical data 3

Bone Control Design™ Respecting the biological distance Factor 4

Bone Control Design™ Respecting the biological distance 4 Relation to crestal bone maintenance  Respecting the biological distance is a key factor for preserving the crestal bone level Implementation in Straumann ® Bone Level Implant  BL: horizontal offset (biological distance)  TE: vertical offset (biological distance)  Keep the microgap away from the bone Supporting evidence Preclinical animal studies with the Straumann® Bone Level Implant Microgap origin of bacterial contamination 0.4 mm *

Bone Control Design™ Position of smooth and rough surface Factor 5

Bone Control Design™ Optimal position of smooth and rough surface Relation to crestal bone maintenance  A rough surface that extends over the bone crest has the tendency to preserve crestal bone Implementation in Straumann ® Bone Level Implant  The rough/smooth surface interface of the Straumann ® Bone Level Implant is located at the top of the implant shoulder  Surgical Procedure: The Straumann ® Bone Level Implant is generally placed at bone level Supporting evidence  Preclinical animal studies with the Straumann ® Bone Level Implant 5
