Roxolid implant with SLA surface (Straumann Holding AG, Basel, Switzerland). Roxolid dental implants (a) are made of titanium zirconium alloy. Large grit-blasting generates the macrolevel aspects of the surface (b), while the microtopographic features (c) are induced by acid-etching with HCl/H₂SO₄. Courtesy of Straumann Holding AG.
