March 21, 2017 — Nobel Biocare enhances immediate solutions for immediate patient needs

Cologne, Germany. Nobel Biocare will display a powerful combination of next-level efficiency and quality at the International Dental Show (IDS) 2017 in Cologne, Germany (March 21–25). Visitors to the Nobel Biocare booth at IDS will discover new breakthrough innovations for immediate implant placement and enhanced workflows developed to reduce time-to-teeth for dental implant patients. Each solution benefits from Nobel Biocare’s long-standing experience in research, development and design.

Nobel Biocare continues to lead the industry in innovation for the edentulous and soon-to-be edentulous patient. At the forefront is the next generation of the original and proven All-on-4™ treatment concept. In Cologne, Nobel Biocare will present the components that keep the All-on-4™ treatment at the forefront of edentulous treatment by significantly enhancing workflow efficiency. These include the new Multi-unit Abutment Plus, which offers significant time savings thanks to a snap-fit function that removes the need for screws during the denture try-in process.

In addition, Nobel Biocare will preview the Trefoil concept at IDS. Trefoil makes a fixed, final, full-arch restoration possible on the day of surgery thanks to a revolutionary prefabricated, passively fitting framework on three implants and a cost effective restorative workflow. A prospective clinical multi-center study with the Trefoil concept is currently underway, and feedback from participating clinicians has been extremely positive.
