business16 EAO Annual Scientific Congress 2015 · 25/26 September Adressing all problems a clini- cian faces when restoring a single tooth in the posterior, Nobel Bio- care is trying to bring innovation back to the posterior region with its new complete posterior solu- tion. Multiple Nobel Biocare nov- elties combine to make this solu- tion complete, but the foundation for treatment success is the im- plant itself, the company said. Here Nobel Biocare offers several options, each engineered for the specific demands of the posterior. A new variant offers the benefits oftheNobelActivefamilybutwith dimensions ideal for the molar re- gion. The NobelActive WP (wide platform) implant possesses a wider diameter implant body (5.5mm) to better fit the large ex- traction sites in the molar region and a wider implant platform for an optimal emergence profile. NobelActive WP also comes in an option with a shorter body (7mm) to avoid critical anatomical struc- tures such as nerves. Alternatively, clinicians can opt for NobelParallel Conical Con- nection (CC). Combining a paral- lel-walled implant body that is well documented with an ad- vanced internal connection, this implant offers extraordinary flex- ibility. It is engineered for use in all bone qualities and for a wide range of indications. The 5.5mm wide platform option is designed for an optimised emergence pro- file for large molar sites. Both new implants also benefit fromNobelBiocare’sinternalcon- ical connection. This advanced connection’s conical seal and hexagonal interlocking mecha- nism provide high mechanical strength. It offers restorative flex- ibility too, being compatible with Nobel Biocare’s most innovative restorative solutions, including thosedesignedspecificallyforthe posterior. These include the new PEEK Healing and PEEK Tempo- rary Abutments, which are anatomically shaped to match the molarcontours.AsthePEEKAbut- ments come ready-shaped for an optimized emergence profile, fewer adjustments are needed. This can simplify treatment and reduce costly chair time. When it comes to the final restoration, the FCZ (full-contour zirconia) Implant Crown is de- signed for strength and pre- dictability even under the high occlusal forces of the posterior. There’s no worrying about chip- ping either, as the full-contour na- ture of the NobelProcera FCZ Im- plantCrownremovestheneedfor veneering. Thebiocompatibilityofthema- terialsusedcontributestobiologi- cal stability in the areas it matters most. Plus, being screw retained, the FCZ Implant Crown is com- pletely cement free, avoiding the risks associated with cement ex- cess entirely. Even the titanium adapter is mechanically retained. The ability to use an angulated screw channel (ASC) allows the screw access hole on the FCZImplantCrowntobe placed anywhere be- tween 0° and 25° in a 360° radius. This means it can be angled towards the front of the mouth for easy access, even in the posterior. It also helps avoid placing the access channel on the cusp of a tooth, where it could affect occlusion. The associated Omni- grip Screwdriver fur- ther simplifies work on the restoration. Its effective pick- upfunctionandsecuregriponthe screw help the clinician to work safely and efficiently. Natural-looking tooth color is anotherbenefitofferedbytheFCZ Implant Crown. Whichever of the eight available shades is used, the color is applied throughout the material. This means discol- oration isn’t a concern when mak- ing adjustments. Cutbacks and staining can also be used to achieve the desired aesthetic ef- fect. NOBEL BIOCARE, SWITZERLAND www.nobelbiocare.com/ bringinginnovationback Booth DC1 NOBEL INTRODUCES COMPLETE POSTERIOR SOLUTION With the combination of CAD/ CAM solutions and X-ray units in the Planmeca ProMax 3D imag- ing family, dental professionals can now bring together a wider range of information for treat- ment planning and diagnostic purposes.Accordingtothemanu- facturer, the Planmeca Romexis software platform opens new doors in creating a new standard of care for patients by offering high-quality features for different specialities, including implant planning and other restorative treatments, all available through one software interface. Planmeca ProMax 3D imaging units reveal intricate information onsoftandhardtissuestructures, including the mandibular nerve canal, while the Planmeca Plan- Scan intraoral scanner captures precise data above the gum line. The combination of these data helps build a complete under- standing of any case and makes 3-D prosthetic designing quick, accurate and easy, the company said. Clinics are able to operate more flexibly, as restorationscaneither be milled at a clinic with the Planmeca PlanMill 40 milling unit, or easily sent to a dental lab in an open STL data format. Standardised data is the driving force be- hind many of the lat- est developments in digital dentistry, as it guarantees the inter- operability of images anddentaldataacross different hardware platforms. Bringing Planmeca’s CBCT and CAD/CAM systems to- gether through the Planmeca Romexis software platform makes effective chair- sidedentistryareality and presents dentists with a streamlined opportunity to sub- stantially grow their practice. A streamlineddigitalworkflowalso ensures the full utilisation of re- sources, according to Planmeca, leading to a more efficient treat- mentenvironment.Insteadoftwo visits, patients can be treated in one hour and with no temporary crownsorphysicaldentalmodels required.
