IMMEDIATE LOADING: A NEW IMPLANT TECHNIQUE WITH IMMEDIATE LOADING AND AESTHETICS: NOBEL ACTIVE™

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the short time aesthet-

ic and functional outcome of a new implant system, the

Nobel Active™. The Nobel Active™ features several inno-

vations such as an extensive self-drilling capacity, axial

and radial bone compression and an inward tapered col-

lar allowing for marginal bone maintance an soft tissue

stabilization. This design makes it possible to place the

implant into narrower osteotomies, thus requiring less

drilling, compared to conventional implants. The Nobel

Active™ implants are available in two different prosthetic

connections: Internal connection and external connection.

The Nobel Active™ External connection is a 1.5 piece im-

plant, with a primary abutment included with the implant.

The Nobel Active™ internal connection is a two piece im-

plant with a standard hexagonal internal connection. In

this study we present a single tooth replacement with im-

mediate loading of Nobel Active External connection.
