FAQ – Efficient Implant Dentistry with the MERIDIAN® Implant System Modern implantology should not become more complicated simply because more technologies are available. The goal is to make the right clinical decisions, reduce unnecessary treatment steps and create a workflow that respects both the clinician’s time and the patient’s biology. The MERIDIAN® Implant System was developed around this principle. It combines a tissue-level implant concept, simplified prosthetic wor

Efficiency in Implant Dentistry with the MERIDIAN® Implant System Efficiency in implant dentistry is not about doing more in less time. It is about reducing unnecessary steps while maintaining clinical control. For the clinician, every additional intervention, every unnecessary component and every avoidable treatment stage adds complexity. For the patient, these steps may mean more appointments, more surgery and a longer treatment pathway. The goal should therefore be simple:

Tissue-Level Implantology with the MERIDIAN® Implant System Biology does not begin at the implant surface. It begins with the implant concept. In modern implantology, the discussion between bone-level and tissue-level implant designs is often reduced to prosthetic preferences or surgical technique. At MERIDIAN®, we believe the more important question is biological: where should the critical implant–prosthetic interface be positioned, and how can the implant design support the

Modern implantology is becoming more complex. New materials, digital workflows, advanced surgical techniques and biologically oriented treatment concepts create new opportunities, but they also require clinicians to make increasingly precise decisions. This is where STEINSOHN Ceramics Education begins. Our goal is not simply to provide dentists with an implant system. We want to help implantologists understand ceramic and biologically oriented implantology well enough to appl

Understanding the Biocompatibility of a BIOVERIT®-Based Bioactive Glass Ceramic What is the MERIDIAN® ceramic implant made of, how does a bioactive glass-ceramic interact with bone, and what does “biocompatible” actually mean? The choice of implant material is becoming increasingly important in modern implant dentistry. While titanium and zirconia are widely known, another group of biomaterials has a long scientific history in medicine: bioactive glass-ceramics. The MERIDIAN®

Modern implantology stands at the intersection of technology and biology. Every detail in an implant’s design, from its thread geometry to its surface structure, depends on how it’s made. Two primary manufacturing routes dominate today’s market: injection molding and milling. Although both can produce high-precision components, their underlying philosophies, technical processes, and biological implications differ profoundly. In this article, we explore how these methods shape

BIO-X: Properties and Applications of a Biomaterial in Dentistry Introduction BIO-X® is a next-generation material derived from BIOVERIT® 1. Building upon the well-established composition of BIOVERIT® 1, BIO-X® introduces controlled modifications in the network and surface microstructure to enhance biological and mechanical performance. In comparison to the base formulation, BIO-X® demonstrates: Increased surface energy and wettability, optimized ion exchange dynamics pr
