OsseoShaper

Nobel Biocare N1™ system

OsseoShaper™

The OsseoShaper instrument is the second step in the surgical protocol for the Nobel Biocare N1 system.

How this groundbreaking instrument revolutionizes implantology

50rpm and no irrigation

Prepares the osteotomy at 50 rpm without irrigation

40 Ncm torque threshold

Provides a more predictable implant insertion torque (40 Ncm maximum torque threshold)

N1 reduces zone of death

Reduces "Zone of Death" resulting in quicker healing of the implant site

N1 less noise

Less noise and vibration, more comfortable for patients

“What I love about the N1 system is the ease and efficiency of implant placement. The use of only 1 drill, and then the OsseoShaper to place the implant makes the process of placing an implant very simple, and less traumatic for my patients. I also love the fact that using this implant placement protocol allows for far less heat generation during the osteotomy creation process. Lastly, my patients are benefitting from faster times to final teeth.”

Preserve bone and promote quicker healing

The OsseoShaper instrument prepares the osteotomy at 50 rpm without irrigation, preserving more native bone and facilitating an improved biological response.

It also helps reduce “Zone of Death”, the area of apoptotic osteocytes surrounding an implant site following osteotomy preparation caused by heat and mechanical damage, ultimately resulting in bone resorption.

OsseoShaper results in less cell death and more bone formation

In images from a pre-clinical animal study1, green represents the dying cells, apoptotic osteocytes.

(A) With the standard drill, a zone of dying cells is clearly visible around the osteotomy on day 0.

(B) With an OsseoShaper instrument, most apoptotic osteocytes are seen inside osseous coagulum, retained in the osteotomy.

OsseoShaper bone results

Blue represents new bone formation.

(C) In the standard drill group, minimal bone formation is seen after 7 days.

(D) Osteotomies prepared with an OsseoShaper instrument show more bone formation at 7 days.

See the difference between a conventional drill and the OsseoShaper

The OsseoShaper operates at a lower speed and without irrigation, minimizing noise and vibration, resulting in more comfort for patients.

 

Groundbreaking predictable immediacy

The Nobel Biocare OsseoShaper instrument provides a more predictable implant insertion torque. The OsseoShaper effectively assists bone evaluation, guides surgical procedure, and brings early prediction of implant stability.

OsseoShaper 2 is used for denser bone

The OsseoShaper 2 instrument is used following the OsseoShaper in dense bone situations only when the OsseoShaper cannot reach the desired depth without crossing a 40 Ncm torque threshold. The OsseoShaper 2 features a slightly larger body with deeper cutting flutes to appropriately prepare space for the N1 Implant.
