Implant system selection is not a scored criterion on its own in the Turkey Dental Ratings index, but it is recorded as a component of the doctor expertise and technology criteria. Among the brands disclosed by clinics in Turkey, Straumann Group systems are the most frequently classified at the premium tier. This article explains what places a system in that tier, how the Group's portfolio is structured, and what a patient should verify before accepting a quotation.
The Straumann Group portfolio
The Straumann Group operates several implant brands, each with a distinct clinical positioning. Clinics in Turkey may quote any of these under the Straumann umbrella, so the specific product line matters more than the group name alone.
| Product line | Positioning | Typical use case |
|---|---|---|
| Straumann SLActive | Premium titanium with hydrophilic surface | Early loading, compromised bone |
| Straumann Bone Level | Platform-switching design | Aesthetic anterior and posterior cases |
| Straumann Tissue Level | Transgingival healing design | Edentulous arches, conventional loading |
| Anthogyr | Mid-to-premium French system | Versatile single-tooth and full-arch |
| Neodent | Premium value system | Full-arch rehabilitation, cost-sensitive premium |
How the index records implant brand disclosure
The technology criterion rewards named, verifiable systems. A clinic that discloses the implant manufacturer and product line scores higher than one that advertises only 'premium implants' or 'Swiss implants' without naming the system.
Doctor expertise is assessed separately from the device itself. A named premium system only contributes to the score when the clinic also documents the placing dentist's training, case volume, and continuing education in implantology.
Verifying the system in your quotation
Patients should receive the implant system details in writing before travel. The written treatment plan required by the international care criterion should include the manufacturer, product line, and lot-traceable reference. This protects against substitution and allows aftercare dentists at home to order compatible components.
- Request the exact product line, not only the group brand
- Confirm the abutment and final restoration are included and compatible
- Ask for the implant passport or traceability card
- Verify the clinic's stated partnership tier with the manufacturer where possible
- Ensure the warranty terms are written and transferable
