Straumann implants are now covered for life under the Straumann Guarantee. The company previously limited its implant guarantee to 10 years.
For implants placed as of April 1, 2011, Straumann will replace any failed implant under the lifetime warranty, provided that genuine Straumann products have been used to place and restore it.
However, the use of third-party components with authentic Straumann products can compromise performance of both the implant and abutment and will void the warranty, the company noted.
