The unique implant design for high primary stability and esthetic excellence
NobelActive is truly an implant like no other. No matter if you're dealing with soft bone, extraction sockets, or the esthetic region, you can benefit from its high primary stability. This makes NobelActive a suitable choice for demanding indications and protocols, such as immediate implant placement and Immediate Function.
NobelActive's expanding tapered implant body condenses bone gradually while the apex with drilling blades enables a smaller osteotomy.10 These features help to achieve high primary stability in demanding situations, such as soft bone or extraction sockets. NobelActive enables immediate implant placement and Immediate Function where it might otherwise be challenging.3,6,7,11,12,13
In the end, it's all about the final result. NobelActive's back-tapered coronal design and built-in platform shifting are designed to optimize bone and soft tissue volume for natural-looking esthetics.
Reverse-cutting flutes with drilling blades on the apex enable experienced clinicians to adjust the implant position during placement for an optimized restorative orientation, particularly in extraction sites.
The internal conical connection with hexagonal interlocking offers high mechanical strength.14 This helps to ensure the necessary stability of the restoration for a predictable result.
NobelActive 3.0 is specifically designed for narrow space situations, such as lower incisors, where conventional implants previously could not be placed.
You can now also benefit from NobelActive's unique design in the posterior region. The new Wide Platform (WP) implant is specifically designed for posterior cases that require a wider base. It helps create a natural-looking emergence profile for the molar crown, and its shorter implant body (7mm) helps to avoid critical anatomical structures.
NobelActive features our unique oxidized TiUnite surface. It maintains high stability during healing through fast bone formation and promotes long-term success.
NobelActive is covered by a lifetime product warranty.

Study using NobelActive implants with immediate loading protocol, shows significant overall increase in papilla score (P <0.001; Wilcoxon signed-rank test) from implant placement to the 3-year follow-up.11
Patients treated with NobelActive implants report significant (p <0.001) improvements in self-esteem, function, esthetics, sense and speech from the pre-treatment to the 3-year follow-up.11
NobelActive supports the comprehensive range of NobelProcera CAD/CAM dental prosthetics as well as Nobel Biocare's full range of prefabricated abutments.
NobelActive features a dual-function prosthetic connection with internal conical connection for abutment-supported restorations as well as an implant shoulder for unique implant-level NobelProcera Implant Bridges in titanium and zirconia.
“I am truly amazed at the ease of the drilling protocol and the control over insertion of the NobelActive implant. The control over desired angulation following final drilling is a valuable benefit for this implant system. The system is easy to learn and leads to predictable outcomes.”
“A design where biology and engineering meet, which in specific situations has advantages that no other implant has given us to date.”
"An incredibly effective implant that provides excellent stability even in compromised sites. Because of its unique features to preserve the biology of marginal hard and soft tissues, NobelActive has become my number 1 implant in the esthetic area."
