manufacturer news Nobel Biocare Introducing the Trefoil™ system At EAO congress 2017, Nobel Biocare launched the Trefoil system—the latest addition to the company’s proven assortment of full-arch solu- tions for patients in most need. The Trefoil system has been developed for treat- ing edentulous patients and patients with failing dentition, enabling the fixed, definitive, full- arch restoration of the mandible in one day. These sig- nificant efficiency gains are the result of an opti- mised workflow and componentry, which enable shorter time-to-teeth and reduced chair time in comparison with conventional treatments that re- quire provisional restorations. The cost-effective Trefoil system features a pre-manufactured titanium bar. Passive fit is made possible by a fixation mechanism that com- pensates for deviations in implant placement. The bar is retained on three implants featuring the TiUnite surface, which is proven to sup- port immediate function.1 At launch, the Trefoil system was already backed by a year of scientific evidence showing successful early clinical outcomes. Preliminary findings show high implant and prosthetic survival rates, minor marginal bone remodelling and short time-to-teeth.2 Patients and clinicians reported excellent functional and aesthetic satisfaction at all follow-up assess- ments, with patients also experiencing notable improvements in quality of life following res- toration.

These kits are com- patible with both C1 and V3 conical connection implants and complete the existing line of surgical kits, which includes MGUIDE Internal Hex. Surgi- cal Set for standard sleeve as well as the Nar- row Sleeve MGUIDE Kit. Unlike all other guided surgery services offered by other manufacturers, MIS workflow is created and followed by only one provider. All steps in the procedure are handled by one source. MIS MCENTERs around the world take the patient information sent to them and transform it into all that is necessary for the den- tal practitioners to perform implant surgery and provide patients with a “full smile solution”. Hav- ing all components of the process and workflow in one place, enables the MCENTER team to view each case in a “top down design”. MIS Implants Technologies GmbH Simeonscarré 2 32423 Minden, Germany www.mis-implants.com The Bicon SHORT® Implant is an example of a time- proven geometric design that successfully trans- fers the occlusal forces on its prosthesis to its surrounding bone by appropriately integrating the following features: a bacterially-sealed, 1.5 degree locking taper abutment to implant connection and a subcrestally placed, sloping shouldered implant with a plateaued tapered root form body. Addition- ally, these integrated features compensate for the implant’s ankylosed nature by successfully trans- forming occlusal forces to acceptable strains within the bone, pro- vide for healthy and gingi- vally aesthetic peri-im- plant tissues, as well as for the callus for- mation of cortical like bone with central vascular systems.
