Nobel Biocare makes successful appearance at the EAO in Copenhagen, Denmark

Nobel Biocare experienced a very successful event at the 21st Annual Scientific Congress of the European Association of Osseointegration (EAO) in Copenhagen, Denmark. Among the highlights were the new product launch of the OsseoCare Pro, new 11-year TiUnite implant surface data and an intriguing corporate forum led by leading experts in the field of implant dentistry and centered on the company’s mission, “Designing for Life.”

Participants of the congress who visited the Nobel Biocare booth and hospitality suite were not only introduced to the OsseoCare Pro, the first drill motor to be operated by an iPad, but also the recent product innovations of NobelReplace Conical Connection, NobelReplace Platform Shift, NobelActive 3.0 and the next generation diagnostics and treatment planning NobelClinician Software – available on both Mac and PC. For each step of the patient treatment flow – from diagnosis and treatment planning to surgery and finally prosthetic restoration – Nobel Biocare provides leading products and solutions to ensure maximum treatment safety, patient comfort and long-term success.

Corporate forum highlights

Dr. Roland Glauser (Switzerland) moderated the Nobel Biocare Corporate Forum at EAO, “Designing for Life – Long-term and patient-orientated treatment approaches remain the keys to success.” Dr. Glauser also presented the longest follow-up data for the TiUnite implant surface at EAO with an 11-year publication.

Dr. Bertil Friberg (Sweden) joined Dr. Roland Glauser (Switzerland) on stage to focus on the concepts, materials and long-term outcomes in treatment for different indications and clinical situations. Dr. Friberg emphasized the success that implants with the TiUnite surface have shown in recent publications of data from Dr. Glauser (11-year), Dr. Degidi, et al. (10-year), Dr. Östman, et al. (10-year).

Dr. Egon Euwe (Italy) discussed esthetics and soft tissue health around implants. One highlight presented was utilizing an optimal provisional restoration to help better shape soft tissue. He combined this procedure with the use of an individualized impression coping to maintain the shape already sculpted by the provisional which would then be reflected in the final restoration. Other topics included remaining hard and soft tissue and selection of implant design.

Mr. Patrick Rutten stressed the importance of communication and proper sequencing of procedures between the laboratory and dentist. He also discussed the effectiveness and efficiency that comes with industrial produced CAD/CAM restorations from NobelProcera, especially in relation to esthetics and soft tissue health. He went on to highlight the safety and strength the material choice of zirconia has achieved over the years for CAD/CAM restorations.

Dr. Werner Zechner (Austria) outlined the evolution of treatment strategies and related protocols in implant dentistry for edentulous patients. The aim was to focus on the individual needs of the edentulous patient and the selected management rationale for each specific treatment objective.

Dr. Peter Moy (USA) talked about the benefits of treatment planning and guided surgery for better patient quality of life. He commented that while guided surgery may take longer or cost a little more, the increased accuracy and predictability is well worth the investment.

Dr. Rubén Davó emphasized that treatment options for edentulous patients truly increase quality of life. He focused on the indications that call for zygomatic implants especially for patients with severe bone resorption.
