Product catalog produced by the company
The Nobel Replace line includes several unique titanium root models and abutments.
Implants
Nobel Replace Groovy
It is a root-shaped rod with a polished neck and a connection for an abutment in the form of a trihedron. It has reliable stability, which makes it possible to instantly load and reduce the adaptation period. Deep thread ensures the most durable fixation. Indications for use include almost all cases of edentia .
Nobel Replace Select
One of the first models in the series. The design of the implant is similar to Nobel Replace Groovy, but unlike it, it has a more refined body (in the neck area the diameter is 1.5-2 mm). Designed for special cases when it is necessary to quickly achieve high levels of aesthetics. Used for express and one-stage operations .
The design allows you to adjust the depth of screwing in order to correctly form the gingival margin. The special TiUnit surface promotes rapid osseointegration and bone regeneration. Due to its versatility, the system is quite common in many dental clinics around the world.
Nobel Replace Tapered + Select Tapered
A popular system that combines two models of root-shaped implants. It is characterized by a high level of primary stabilization and is suitable for installation in the socket of a newly extracted tooth. Allows instant loading. Reliable and precise fixation of the abutment is ensured thanks to a special connection equipped with three anti-rotation channels. The four types of implant presented in the series help solve any clinical situation.
Conical Connection (Nobel CC)
The design of Konikal titanium pins is similar to Groovy. Only the types of connections differ between models. The triangular system was replaced by a hexagonal one with a cone. This difference provided a more reliable connection. To achieve maximum aesthetic results, the doctor has 6 different abutment positions at his disposal. Conical implants are used in one-stage and two-stage implantation , as well as in cases of insufficient bone tissue density.
Branemark (Branmark systems)
A universal version equipped with a hexagonal fastening type. The last thread of the product is located almost near the neck, which helps to improve fusion with the edge of the bone. The system is still at the stage of research and improvement .
Speedy
The implant is specially designed to quickly restore missing teeth . Perfectly osseointegrates into low and medium density bone tissue. The design is suitable for the All-on-4 technique. A reliable connection to the abutment guarantees a tight installation of the prosthesis. Strong fixation of the pin in the jaw is achieved thanks to the deep thread, which is typical for Speedy models.
Guide
The most gentle model. Provides minimal surgical intervention during implantation. The peculiarity of the installation is that there is no need to make an incision in the gums and apply sutures. Thus, trauma to the jaw tissue is reduced to zero , and the rehabilitation process is significantly accelerated.
Nobel Active
The system has a wide range of indications for use. Not only implantologists, but also orthopedic dentists and prosthetists participated in its development. It is installed using the “All-on-4” technique, which reduces the load on the bone by attaching the entire row to four implants. This is most relevant for serious problems with bone tissue. The cone-shaped titanium rod has good stabilization. Double thread makes screwing easier. It is used in a wide variety of clinical cases .
Implants of the Nobel Replace series are widely used in many countries around the world. They are united by excellent quality, reliability, strength and durability.
If we compare Nobel Replace Select with other models in the series, they are the only ones with a special, sophisticated body. This makes them indispensable when it is necessary to obtain a quick aesthetic result.
Abutments
In addition to implantation systems, the manufacturer offers a large selection of permanent and temporary abutments. All of them are manufactured using the latest technologies and are able to satisfy any functional and aesthetic requirements. Available in titanium, zirconium dioxide and gold alloy . The materials are characterized by excellent tissue biocompatibility properties.

Indications and contraindications for implantation
The use of Nobel Replace implants is indicated in the following clinical situations :
- partial and complete edentia;
- absence of a tooth for a long time;
- low bone density and volume deficiency;
- the need to restore the aesthetic appearance of the smile as quickly as possible.
It is not recommended to install rods from Nobel Biocar Replace if:
- there is an individual intolerance to one of the components of the system;
- allergic reaction to medications used during surgery;
- inflammatory processes in the oral mucosa were detected;
- diseases of teeth and gums (until they are relieved).
Unless absolutely necessary, implantation should not be performed in pregnant women.
NobelReplace Conical Connection
In this model, the cone has a shape that copies the shape of the tooth roots. Therefore, engraftment occurs faster and more reliably.
The implant has a ledge that promotes the formation of a natural volume of soft tissue around the prosthesis, making it look as natural as possible.
A special surgical protocol with a set of instruments has been developed for the model. It provides step-by-step instructions for drilling and installing components. Everything is color coded, it’s impossible to make a mistake.
NobelReplace and Replace Select Tapered
One of the oldest systems in the Nobel range. But they are still one of the most popular, which proves their relevance and thoughtful design.
The system provides for the use of four types of implants depending on the clinical situation. In any case, the result will be excellent thanks to the form that promotes engraftment. An effective solution even for bones with low density.
Advantages and disadvantages of the system
The undeniable advantages of Nobel Replace designs are:
- biocompatible coating similar to the structure of the jaw bone tissue;
- almost zero risk of rejection;
- this is an ideal option for aesthetic prosthetics using zirconium crowns;
- complete restoration of chewing function;
- a large assortment of rods of varying shapes and sizes;
- solve most of the most complex clinical cases;
- the presence of various modifications of abutments allows prosthetics to be performed at the highest level;
- atraumatic implantation process;
- protection against counterfeiting.
Speaking of disadvantages , it should be noted that Nobel products are expensive. Not every patient can afford to purchase it.
Advantages of implants
Carrying out prosthetics on implants is a simple procedure, but the further result and possible risks depend on the quality of the structure and the degree of its fixation. Conical Connection implants are a guarantee of ease of procedure, engraftment and sustainability throughout life. Nobel implant systems are installed once and for life. The survival rate of these models is 99.9%.
Advantages of Parallel CC implants.
- Installation for deformation, dystrophy and individual characteristics of bone tissue.
- Availability of implantation of one or more teeth or the entire dentition.
- Application of the design for any type of implantation (express/single-stage/two-stage).
- The procedure is quick and easy to install.
- Minimal bone tissue atrophy throughout the entire service life.
- Possibility of selection of any Nobel abutments.
- High resistance to chewing load.
- Complications occur only in exceptional cases in 0.1% of patients.
- Correct selection of abutments thanks to color marking of structures.
Nobel Parallel Conical Connection implants are suitable for every patient. The design is designed in such a way that it allows implantation even in difficult cases using a non-standard approach. Implantation can be carried out to restore one tooth, install a bridge and complete dentures.
Preparation for surgery, installation of the implant and its service life
Dental implantation is a rather complex procedure that requires certain preparation.
Before the operation, the doctor carries out a number of activities, including:
- examination of the patient for pathologies that can lead to complications (poor blood clotting, AIDS, diabetes mellitus and others);
- sanitation of the oral cavity;
- radiography;
- if necessary, bone tissue augmentation;
- creation of a 3D layout.
Implantation using Nobel Replace systems is performed using several methods.
In a one-step procedure :
- Introduction of anesthetic.
- Gum incision.
- Formation of a bed in the bone.
- Screwing the rod.
- Installation of abutment.
- The crown is put on.
How does two-stage implantation differ from this method?
- Anesthesia.
- Preparing the site for the pin and its implantation.
- Closing with a plug screw.
- Stitching.
- After 4-6 months, the gum former is fixed.
- After two weeks, replace with an abutment.
It is worth noting that to install the former, the mucous membrane is again incised and sutures are applied.
The lifespan of implants from the Nobel Replace line is unlimited, provided that the implantation technique and proper use are followed.
Nobel implants “turnkey” - what does it mean and how much does it cost?
The entire process of installing a new tooth (or several teeth) includes the installation of the implant itself, as well as the necessary components for it - first the gum former, then the abutment, and the crown that is fixed to it. Thus, it turns out that the full price of a turnkey nobel implant will be determined by the cost:
- implant and materials,
- dental crown,
- work of a doctor - implant surgeon and prosthetist,
- clinic markups.
All these components are extremely important and necessary for the success of implantation, and the quality of all procedures directly depends on them, so there is no way to seriously save money, because we do not want to put the patient’s health at risk and reduce the service life of the material used.
Nobel implants are very expensive, which is due to their highest quality and production according to European standards. The entire complex of materials and instruments is specially designed and matched to each other to ensure the highest implantation efficiency.
For a crown to look beautiful, be durable and last a lifetime, you don’t need to skimp on it, especially when you’ve spent money on first-class Nobel implants.
The work of an implantologist requires extensive knowledge and serious experience. The remuneration of a young novice physician is cheaper, but the patient’s health is more important to us, so we attract experienced and professional doctors of the highest category to work.
Standard and quality assurance
The highest quality of Nobel products is confirmed by international certificates. Each model complies with ISO medical device standards . When purchasing a system, the patient receives the appropriate documentation, including a quality certificate. Products are tested at all stages of production. The company's employees constantly consult implantologists from different countries, which contributes to the growth of the effectiveness and safety of treatment.
Another confirmation of the absolute quality of Nobel Biocar implants and components is an extensive warranty program that provides for various cases that require free replacement of components. Thus, in case of rejection that occurred through no fault of the doctor or the patient, an absolutely identical kit is provided. Additionally, the manufacturer offers replacement for implants of other brands that have been installed with Nobel Biocare elements.
Each artificial root comes with a lifetime warranty, and the abutment comes with a ten-year warranty.
