Scientific Highlights No. 1/2026

In the current issue of the Straumann® Scientific Highlights newsletter, we would like to draw your attention to the latest research articles published between December 2025 and January 2026.


Editor’s choice

The editor’s choice of this issue is the article “Long-Term Clinical, Radiographic and Esthetic Outcomes of Zirconia Dental Implants: A 10-Year Prospective Multicenter Study” authored by S Roehling, published in Clinical Oral Implants Research. The authors evaluated the long-term clinical performance of the Straumann PURE Monotype dental implant system over 10 years. They report high long-term survival and success rates, moderate bone loss, and favorable esthetic outcomes. These findings support the use of ceramic implants as a clinically reliable and esthetically acceptable long-term alternative to titanium implants.
