Tapered dental implant NobelActive®

titaniumshortnarrow

Overview
NobelActive® dental implants feature an expanding tapered body and dedicated thread geometry designed to increase primary stability and enable controlled prosthetic positioning. Applicable to immediate implant placement and immediate loading protocols from single-tooth to full-arch restorations.

Clinical evidence

• Pooled clinical data: mean survival rate 97.9% across 107 clinical studies. Over 22,500 implants placed and 6,300+ patients followed up to 12 years.

Key benefits

• High primary stability in soft bone and extraction sockets.
• Supports immediate loading protocols (single tooth to full arch).
• Facilitates prosthetically driven implant positioning for esthetic regions.

Variants & indications

• NobelActive® S — unified NP prosthetic connection across diameters with enhanced platform shifting.
• NobelActive® 3.0 — narrow-diameter option for limited-space anterior indications.
• NobelActive® WP — wide platform (e.g., 5.5 mm) for posterior/molar emergence profile needs; shortened-body options where indicated.
• Available with TiUltra and documented in combination with TiUnite surface data.

Design features (functional highlights)

• Double‑lead thread for faster engagement in the osteotomy.
• Reverse cutting blades allowing intra-implant position adjustment during placement.
• Expanding tapered body that condenses bone during insertion to increase primary stability.
• Sharp cutting blades enabling under‑preparation of the surgical site when indicated.

Applications
Indicated for immediate implant placement and immediate function in esthetic and demanding clinical situations requiring high primary stability and controlled restorative positioning. Suitable for single-tooth restorations, esthetic zone cases, narrow-anterior indications (3.0 mm), posterior WP cases and full-arch immediate protocols.
