Nobel Active 3.0 advice

[shamalam]

Ok So I have a Dr. who placed a Nobel Active 3.0 implant for a patient who already has two ERA abutments for extra support. I cant find any options to use this implant for an ERA or any other overdenture options.
Can anyone help? The Doc wants to use this implant! What should be done?

Thanks!

Nobel's indication for this implant is upper laterals and lower incisors only and restorative options are:
- Titanium CADCAM abutment
- GoldAdapt UCLA abutment

That's it...
3rd party companies might offer some restorations, but they would all void Nobel's warranty, so proceed with caution.

The implant companies 'warranty' is a hoax. Read the fine print.

Yeah right. I tried to tell the cops once that their warrant was a hoax too......

For some reason I am not too surprised that you have a lot of experience in the clink.

damn autocorrect

Call TruAbutment They may be able to mill you their overdenture abutment onto the fixture, but you will need to pick up the other ERA's in the master impression so they are all parallel to each other.

Good luck.

You will be blamed when the abutment fails or when the screw fractures because it was tourqued past 15 newtons because the assistant threw out the red warning sign that you put in plain site on the top when you packed the box.

it can happen

TruAbutment does not have FDA approval on anything except a few titanium custom abutments so If you are concerned about quality and having something legitimate....buyer beware (they will tell you they have FDA approval and that is simply a lie).

You can buy ERA attachments from Sterngold (800) 243-9942. If you want a nobel active 3.0 FDA approved locator I may have a source for them....just have to check.

bar with locators if there isnt any teeth between the implants.

 

[shamalam]

thanks for the advice guys! No real options i guess without asking for it to fail. Might have to add another implant to support a bar.

A bar is still not a single unit . . . so all depends on the legal environment where you operate.
Safest to use as a vertical stop only and add 2 implants on the same arch on both sides
and make this a tripod without lateral forces on the implant or abutment. Good luck,

I had a 3 unit 3.0 case a while back and dr needed over denture locator bar. I sent it to Pantera and was super impressed with the quality!!! Would highly recommend!!

I was stapling those triangle warning signs to the seating screw and found out they still were overtorquing. Just put the stuff in the autoclave and onto the surgical tray. The Dr surely knows about that...

Those who choose to ignore warnings will live to pay the price.
I use torque wrench on 15Ncm, and screw still broke!
Even after seeing pt 1 year post-op to make sure there was no heavy occlusion after 1 year functional
wear changes.
You can only do that much,
