The inno- vative combination of the NobelProcera Angulated Screw Channel (ASC) abut- ment and Nobel Biocare’s unique new Omnigrip tooling solve two typical chal- lengescliniciansoftenface:buccalscrew accessholesthatlimitrestorativeoptions in the anterior and difficult access in the posterior region from lack of vertical space. AvailableinzirconiaforNobelBiocareim- plants with conical connection,the abutment can be designed with an angulated screw channel of up to 25 degrees from the axis of the implant. Clinicians using the superior Omnigrip friction-based pick-up function gain peace of mind as the screwdriver easily grips the screw at any angle within the available range.The intense grip keeps the screw in position making it less likely to drop while adjusting the inser- tion angle and finding the first threads for fixation.
