Nobel Biocare Implants

The history of Nobel Biocare:

1950 years: Professor Per Ingvar Bränemark researched in the field of bone regeneration
1965: the first patient was supplied with a bridge carried by an implant
1981: foundation of the company Firm Nobelpharma
1989: the American Steri-Oss group is bought by Nobel Biocare
1999: Introduction of the Replace Select Implant System
2000: Introduction of the TiUnite surface structure

Replace Implant System of Nobel Biocare

After a lot of years of research this new implant system has been brought on the market, with a special form and a surface structure (TiUnite). The surface structure developed by Nobel Biocare has bone-forming features and is very similar to the microscopic structure of the human bone. Biomechanical examinations have revealed that on the basis of these structures a very good primary stability of implants can be achieved.

According to the form of Replace implants there are 2 forms:

  • Replace Select Tapered: root shaped implant
  • Replace Select Straight: cylindrical-shaped implant with parallel walls

With the Replace Select Tapered implant system used by us, even difficult situations can be solved:

  • immediate implantation: after the extraction the immediate insert of the implant ensues
  • difficult anatomic situations (e.g. a lot of anatomic fissures)
  • implantation is possible in case of a bad bone structure

Due to the root shaped conic form a good primary stability can be achieved –that means that already after the implantation the implant tightly stands in the bone. Four different diameters and four different lengths are available of this type.

Prosthetic structures

Due to the exceptional combined system, which hosts a triangle screw system in the inside of the implant, enables an exact, stable link to the abutment which is safe from rotation. There is an enormous variation of implant abutments – these are the construction screws on which the prosthetic supply is manufactured later.

Variations:

  • screwed affixed abutments (multi-unit abutment) with straight or angled axes
  • glued crowns and bridges on titan or zircon abutments (aesthetic abutment)
  • removable prostheses which are applied with the aid of a cross piece connection or press buttons
  • prosthetic bridges (nordic bridges) affixed with screws
  • the Procera System developed by Nobel Biocare (CAD/CAM controlled) enables the production of individual Prosthetic bridges
