I industry news _ Nobel Biocare _The NobelProcera FCZ (full-contour zirconia) Implant Crown combines full-contour strength that is sufficiently robust for the poste- riorregionwithsuperbrestorative flexibility—andallwithnocement in sight. CAD/CAM manufactured using high-strength translucentzirconia—inwhichangulatedscrewchan- nels can be created—the NobelProcera FCZ Implant Crown is designed for predictable strength, aesthet- ics and function. _No cement, no chipping, no problems The strength of the FCZ Implant Crown makes it suitable for all tooth positions, ensuring predictabil- ity even under the high occlusal forces of the poste- rior region, which makes it an ideal restoration for molars. There is no need to worry about veneer chip- ping either, as the full-contour characteristics of the NobelProcera FCZ Implant Crown eliminate the need for veneering. The biocompatibility of the materials usedrepresentsanadditionalbenefitbysup- porting biological stability in the areas whereitmattersmost.Plus,beingscrew retained,theFCZImplantCrowniscom- pletelycementfree,eliminatingtherisks associated with excess cement. Even the titanium adapter is mechanically retained.

This means that it can be angled towards the front of the mouth for easy access even in tight posterior spaces;italsomeansthattheaccesschanneldoesnot need to be placed on the cusp of the tooth, where it might affect occlusion. Working on the restoration is further simplified with the associated Omnigrip Screwdriver. Its effec- tive pick-up function and secure grip on the screw help the clinician to work safely and efficiently. Natural-looking tooth colour is another benefit offered by the FCZ Implant Crown. Whicheveroftheeightavailableshades is used, the colour will be uniform throughout the material. This means ad- justmentscanbemadewithouthaving to worry about discoloration.

For patients, clinicians and dental lab- oratories looking for restorations can rely on, the NobelProcera FCZ Implant Crown provides extraordinary strength for long- term predictability and delivers restora- tive flexibility too. As a result, it is well on its way to becoming the crown that rules them all!_ Fig. 1_Combining strength with restorative flexibility, the NobelProcera FCZ Implant Crown is the ideal solution for the posterior region.
