54 I I industry news _ Nobel Biocare Fig. 1_Multiple innovations combine to create one complete posterior solution. Figs. 2a & b_Both NobelActive (left) and NobelParallel Conical Connection (right) are available in wide-platform variants that are designed to provide optimized results in the posterior region. Anatomically shaped, the PEEK Temporary Abutments (a) and PEEK Healing Abutments (b) match the contours of the molars. In addition to supporting an improved emergence profile, this can help reduce chair time by reducing the number of adjustments needed. CAD/CAM 1_2015 _Large extraction sockets, limited accessibility, ex- cesscementthatisdifficulttoremoveandhighocclusal forces—these are just some of the challenges a clinician faces when restoring a single tooth in the posterior region. With molar replacement being among the most common indications, these challenges are encountered repeatedly. A solution that addresses all these problems inanefficientandpredictablewaywouldbebeneficialto both dental professionals and patients. That is precisely whyNobelBiocareisbringinginnovationbacktothepos- teriorregionwithitsnewcompleteposteriorsolution:an originalcombinationofnewwide-platformimplantsand restorativeoptions,allspeciallydesignedformolarsites. _An implant like no other Multiple Nobel Biocare innovations have been combined to offer a complete solution, and the foun- dation for treatment success is the implant itself.

One option is NobelActive. Many clinicians are already familiar with this award-winning* implant. Its distinctive design and the surgical protocol form a unique combination that can enable Immediate Function in cases in which it might otherwise not be achieveable.1–3 In order to condense bone gradually, its tapered body features threads that narrow towards the apex, whiletheapexitselffeaturesdrillingbladestopreserve bone by allowing a smaller osteotomy.

Now, a new variant offers the benefits of the NobelActive family but with dimensions ideal for the molar region.
