Metal-Free NobelPearl™ Ceramic Implant For Dental Restoration

Dave Ko March 28, 2019

With the innovative two-piece ceramic NobelPearl™ — Nobel Biocare’s latest dental implant restoration solution—dentists can offer dental implants that are 100% metal-free, have a low inflammatory response, support natural soft-tissue appearance, and are an excellent alternative to titanium implants.

NobelPearl™ is the first wholly metal-free, two-piece, and screw-retained dental implant system in the market. It is the result of many years of research in ceramic dental implant know-how and is an effective implant option to Nobel Biocare’s existing leading range of successful titanium dental implants.

The introduction of NobelPearl™ supports recent trends in the dental implant market indicating an increasing preference among patients for metal-free dental solutions that closely appear natural teeth. The zirconia material of NobelPearl™ is particularly beneficial for patients who have a thin mucosal biotype. Moreover, it also has a low affinity for plaque formation.

NobelPearl™ is a reliable addition to dental restoration solutions and offers dentists a promising start in ceramic implantology as it provides greater restorative flexibility compared with one-piece or cemented ceramic implants due to its two-piece, reversible, cement-free internal connection design. NobelPearl is engineered for primary stability and is available for a broad range of indications, from single to multiple units: dentists only need to follow established workflows for the implants.

Enhanced Dental Restorative Ability

NobelPearl™ offers significantly better restorative flexibility compared with cemented ceramic or one-piece implants due to its two-piece and reversible cement-less internal connection. NobelPearl™ has an Inter-X internal connection, which is designed for ceramic implants. The strong ATZ ceramic absorbs compressive forces, and the VICARBO® screw—using carbon fiber reinforced PEEK—can handle tensile forces owing to its longitudinal continuous carbon fibers. The new dental implant restoration helps avoid excess cement during intraoral cementation, which is usually associated with the development of peri-implant mucositis and soft-tissue inflammation and peri-implantitis—both of which can be avoided.

Improved Design Makes NobelPearl™ More Stable

Dentists will appreciate NobelPearl™ as it offers high primary stability due to its combination of thread design, tapered drill protocol, and the tapered implant shape of NobelPearl™ two-piece implant. The partially machined collar and the acid-etched and hydrophilic sand-blasted ZERAFIL™ surface helps achieve osseointegration. Moreover, significant dimensional precision is achievable as no finishing or sintering takes place during the final stages of shaping the implant.

Improved Efficiency Of Ceramic Implantology In NobelPearl™

Nobel Biocare, with the help of its manufacturing partner Dentalpoint AG, has continuously improved its ceramic implants, which has enabled it to increase its survival rate during usage. The efficient NobelPearl™ helps dental professionals to make a successful start ceramic implantology.

Demand for NobelPearl™ has been steady since its launch earlier this year at EuroPerio9 in Amsterdam, said Hans Geiselhöringer, President, Nobel Biocare. He also announced at the event that the dental implant restoration solution NobelPearl™ is likely to be integrated into Nobel Biocare’s digital workflow, which includes planning treatment with help from NobelClinician Software and guided implant surgery using NobelGuide pilot drilling. Dentists will also be able to offer patients NobelPearl Ceramic Base CAD/CAM solution utilizing the DTX Studio design software, reported Aegis Dental Network website.

There’s no easy root canals in endodontics

Does poor oral health impact brain function?

Oral health can be a surprisingly good indicator of a person's well-being. Not only can oral diseases reduce a person's quality of life, but they can also increase the risk of other serious conditions. Perceived stress may detrimentally impact oral health which, in turn, may lead to cognitive decline among specific elderly communities, according to two new studies.
