| Nobel Biocare announced today the worldwide launch of
its new, innovative implant, NobelActive. Designed together and tested
by experienced clinicians, NobelActive will expand the possibility
for implant treatment therapy to more dental patients. With its unique
tip and double-variable thread design, NobelActive condenses bone
during insertion unlike conventional self-tapping implants. This bone-condensing
capability delivers high initial implant stability, even in compromised
bone situations, and can eliminate the need for time-consuming and
unpleasant implant procedures for patients, such as bone-grafting.
The bone-condensing property and apical drilling blades also allow
the experienced user to actively change direction during insertion
to gain optimal orientation of the prosthetic connection, thereby
facilitating the esthetic restoration process. The unique dual-function
conical prosthetic connection, with hexagonal interlocking, supports
a wide range of prosthetic options, including individually designed
Procera® abutments and Procera® Implant Bridges Zirconia and
Titanium. |
The Exacone? implant system, developed to perfectly
reproduce a natural tooth, is based on a solid abutment connected
to the implant through a self-locking Morse taper and a inner hex
for positioning and anti-rotation. The micrometric precision of
the components and the absence of retaining screws make such a system
one of the safest in the implantology field. Its reliability and
mechanical stability are widely proved by the low incidence of long-term
prosthetic complications. Due to such specific properties, the system
allows lots of restorative options in addition to the traditional
techniques. It is possible to mill the abutments directly inside
the mouth, just like with natural teeth. Exacone? implants may be
restored with extra-oral cementation technique as well, that allows
to completely and easily remove the cement in excess, achieving
very good aesthetics. As an alternative an integrated abutment-crown
may be prepared, a cementless solution allowing to save a lot of
chairtime and to handy adjust the restoration directly chairside.
Implant dentistry is getting closer and closer to prosthetics on
natural teeth: the Exacone? implant system is a unique solution
in this direction, providing impressive restorative results, both
aesthetic and functional.
