Scientific evaluation of design and surface advances in Straumann implants.
Article in Medicina oral, patologia oral y cirugia bucal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundContemporary dental implant systems are continuously evolving in terms of surface characteristics, as well as macro- and micro-design. This study evaluates the performance of recent Straumann® implants-specifically comparing Bone Level Tapered (BLT) and Bone Level Conical (BLC) designs-in relation to peri-implant bone resorption and immediate loading protocols. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 84 BLT implants and 84 BLC implants were placed in 78 patients between 2023 and 2025 across several clinics in Spain. Radiographic and periodontal probe measurements were performed to assess crestal bone level changes at one year post-placement. This retrospective cohort study focused on primary outcomes including 1-year survival rates and the evaluation of marginal bone loss (MBL).
resultsThe most significant result was the 98.8% success rate observed for BLC implants.
conclusionsWhile both Straumann® tapered implants represent excellent treatment options, BLC implants demonstrated superior improvements across all evaluated parameters. Future research should focus on identifying areas for further enhancement and comparing their performance with other leading implant systems.
