MEDWATCH REPORT FILED ON NOBEL BIOCARE'S "STERILE" PACKAGING |
|
September 2009 Independent Test Shows Blue Dye In Packaging Containing Nobel Active (PN# 34137) |
|
Three Nobel Biocare
implants (2 Nobel Active and 1 Nobel Replace) represented as sterile
on the packaging, failed ASTM D4991-94: “Standard Test Method for
Leakage Testing of Empty Rigid Containers” conducted by a
USFDA certified lab "in accordance with USFDA and
USEPA Regulations.” These test results indicate that Nobel Biocare’s
“sterile” implant packaging may not provide an effective sterility
or microbial barrier and therefore could be considered as failing to
perform as specified and potentially contributing to
real or potential patient harm.

| ReActiveTM - The Internal Tri-lobe Implant Nobel Biocare Should Have Made! |
The ReActive Tri-Lobe implant combines a Nobel Replace
compatible Tri-Lobe connection, an evenly tapered body for
increased stability in soft bone and a round apex to guide
the implant along the path of the prepared socket without
deviation. The round apex also facilitates sinus elevation
through the socket without tearing the membrane. In
addition, the ReActive offers double-lead threads for faster
insertion, micro threads for reduced stress in the critical
crestal bone region and progressively deeper threads for
increased surface area. The ReActive implant was added to
Implant Direct's family of Tri-Lobe implants (RePlant and
RePlus) following the introduction of the Nobel Active
implant because Implant Direct believes that Nobel Biocare
clinicians should not have to change platforms just to get
deeper threads. With ReActive offering All-In-One packaging
with a fixture-mount that can be used as a transfer and
shortened to serve as a fully preparable abutment, dentists
considering use of the Nobel Replace or Nobel Active
implants can enjoy a 70% cost savings compared to Nobel
Biocare's list prices for comparable components.  |

| Legacy3 - The Internal Hex Implant Zimmer Dental Should Have Made! |
The Legacy3 System is the second
generation of the Legacy implant, both offeringthe
popular lead-in bevel/internal hex connection
developed in 1986 by Dr. Niznick (US. Pat. #
4,960,381 which expired 2007). The broad line of
Legacy abutments are compatible with Zimmer Dental's
Screw-Vent as well as BioHorizon and MIS
implants with the internal hex connection. The
Legacy3 incorporates the micro-threads
and progressively deeper, flat basedthreads of the
ReActive implant, providing greater surface area for
increased stability in soft bone. The Legacy3 implant line will offer the industry's broadest options
of diameters (6) from 3.2mm increasing every 1/2mm
to 5.7mm and in lengths from 8mm to 16mm. Legacy implants are
packaged with color coded titanium fixture-mounts,
matching the color of the implant platform. These
fixture-mounts are designed for use as transfers
and can be shortened for use as finalabutments
with pre-prepared margins. Full inventory of this
implant line will be available at the end of August. Refer to
our online store for items that are immediately available, or
place a pre-order for the implant of your choice. |

| SwissPlantTM - The Internal Octagon Implant Straumann Should Have Made! |
The SwissPlant System represents the first line of implants designed for
insertion at tissue-level, bone-level or anywhere in between. This is
demonstrated in our surgical video. The
4.1mmD and 4.8mmD SwissPlant implants will offer surgical compatibility
with Straumann's drills in soft bone with an additional drill required
for dense bone. The 4.8mmD and 6.5mmD platforms are prosthetically
compatible with Straumann's abutments, having the same internal octagon
licensed to Straumann by Dr. Niznick (U.S. Patent # 4,960,381) and
an 8 degree lead-in bevel. In addition, they have an internal square for
engagement via the
color coded fixture-mount for insertion. The fixture-mount
also serves as a transfer and can be shortened for use as the final 5.5mm
high straight abutment. Each implant is packaged with a snap-on comfort
cap and 2mm healing collar for added value. Adding to the versatility
of the SwissPlant System is a 3.3mmD implant with a 3.7mmD platform and
a 5.7mmD implant with a 6.5mmD platform, all available in 5 lengths
including, a 6 mm long implant. The SwissPlant implants include
micro-threads and progressively deeper flat-based (Straumann) threads,
first developed for the ReActive implant, providing increased surface
area for increased stability in soft bone. |
