Nobel Biocare Replace implants come in two variations:

• NobelReplace Tapered: This is the original tapered implant design. It mimics the shape of a natural tooth root and has several unique features:
  
  • Good Primary Stability: The tapered design and threads throughout the implant contribute to initial stability
  • Efficient Workflow: A standardized drilling protocol and color-coded components simplify the surgical procedure.
  • Connection Options: Choose between two prosthetic connection types (tri-channel or machined collar) to suit different clinical preferences.
• NobelReplace Conical Connection (NobelReplace CC): This implant merges the original tapered implant body with a tight-sealed conical connection. It offers:
  
  • Versatility: Suitable for various clinical situations and offers more flexibility when space limitations exist due to anatomical structures.
  • Esthetic Solution: The conical connection helps achieve a more natural-looking emergence profile for the restoration, especially important in the esthetic zone.

The Nobel Biocare Replace Implant utilizes a proprietary surface treatment known for its benefits, including:

• OsseoSpeed Surface: This surface treatment enhances osseointegration by promoting rapid bone healing and implant stability, leading to predictable and long-lasting results.
• Reduced Healing Time: The OsseoSpeed Surface accelerates the initial healing phase, allowing for faster integration with the surrounding bone and enabling quicker restoration placement.

Nobel Biocare Replace implants, with their tapered design and variations, cater to a broad range of implant scenarios:

• Single or Multiple Tooth Replacements: Replace can be used for both single-tooth and multiple-tooth implant restorations.

• Active Thread Design:Nobel Active has sharper threads compared to traditional implants, condensing bone during insertion for exceptional primary stability, even in softer bone.
• Immediate Function Potential: High initial stability allows for immediate function, enabling the possibility of attaching a temporary crown on the same day of implant placement.
• Flexibility in Placement: Design allows for some redirection during insertion, providing implantologists with flexibility to achieve optimal positioning for functionality and esthetics.
• Focus on Esthetics: Features like a back-tapered coronal design and built-in platform shifting maximize the volume of alveolar bone and soft tissue in the front of the mouth, crucial for natural-looking crown, especially in the front teeth.

• Increased Surface Area: The roughened surface provides more area for bone cells to attach and grow, promoting osseointegration.
• Enhanced Blood Clot Formation: The surface texture allows for better blood clot adherence during the initial healing phase, which is crucial for successful implant osseointegration.

• Soft Bone Situations: The implant's ability to achieve high primary stability even in softer bone makes it a good choice for patients with less dense jawbone.
• Extraction Sockets: When a tooth needs to be extracted, Nobel Biocare Active can be placed immediately into the socket, preserving bone and  accelerating the treatment timeline.
• Immediate Function Cases: Due to the high initial stability, these implants might be suitable for procedures where a temporary crown can be attached on the same day of implant placement.
• Esthetic Zone Implant Placement: The design features that focus on preserving bone volume in the front of the mouth make Active implants a good option for replacing front teeth where achieving natural-looking results is critical.

Introduced in 2007, the Nobel Biocare Parallel Implant brought groundbreaking advancements to dental implant technology.

The Nobel Biocare Parallel implant boasts several unique design features:

• Universal Design: It can be used for single or multiple tooth replacements and even full-arch restorations in both the front (anterior) and back (posterior) areas of the mouth.
• Primary Stability: Not as high as Nobel Biocare active.  
• Strong Connection: The implant utilizes a conical seal internally and a hexagonal interlocking design. This combination creates a secure connection between the implant and the restoration (crown, bridge, etc.).

Similar to Nobel Actie, Nobel Biocare Parallel implant features a unique surface treatment called TiUnite. This sandblasted and acid-etched surface creates a micro-rough texture that:

• Increases Surface Area:The roughened surface provides more area for bone cells to attach and grow, promoting osseointegration.
• Enhances Blood Clot Formation: The surface texture allows for better blood clot adherence during the initial healing phase, which is crucial for successful implant osseointegration.

The Nobel Biocare Parallel implant's versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of implant cases, including:

• Single tooth replacement: Replacing a single missing tooth.
• Multiple tooth replacement: Replacing several missing teeth with a bridge supported by implants.
• Full-arch restoration: Replacing all teeth in an arch (upper or lower jaw) with implant-supported dentures or bridges.
• Immediate loading: Only in situations where good jawbone quality and stability are present
