Dr. Robert Tupac's 2009 series of five lectures to dentists in the Central Valley regarding the NobelBiocare Active implant system

2009 Lecture Series

Robert Tupac completed a series of five lectures to select groups of dentists in the Central Valley regarding the newly available NobelBiocare Active implant system. He related his experience with this newly released implant system. Dr. Tupac placed several of these implants prior to their commercial launch. The NobelActive implant has a back-tapered coronal design for maximum alveolar bone volume for improved soft tissue support. It has high initial stability even in compromised bone situations due to an expanding tapered implant body with double-lead threads designed to condense bone gradually. Experienced clinicians can adjust implant orientation during placement for optimal prosthetic connection and the implant is ideal for minimally prepared sites because it has an apex with drilling blades enabling a smaller osteotomy. It has a unique dual-function connection with hexagonal interlock and built-in platform shifting. It provides uniform load distribution with an extremely tight abutment fit. The implant-abutment interface allows for individual emergence profile design for improved soft tissue maintenance. Dr. Tupac has added this system to his available options for choosing the optimal implant for a patient's particular clinical requirements.
