What are NobelPearl™ Ceramic Implants?

The NobelPearl™ ceramic implants by Nobel Biocare is a service provided by Portland Perio Implant Center and Dr. Kamran Haghighat. It is different from other implant systems in that it is metal-free, comes in two pieces, and can be screw-retained.

The implant fixture, the part placed in the tissue, and the abutment, the part above the tissue, are made from zirconia.

In addition, the implant screw that is used for retention of the implant is made from a carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK high-performance polymer material (VICARBO^®), often referred to by dental professionals as well as Aerospace engineers as the "material of the future."

This screw and zirconia have been shown to withstand significant force and provide a safer retention method over cement-retained restorations.

Benefits of The NobelPearl™ Ceramic Dental Implant

The following are the benefits of The NobelPearl^™ ceramic dental implant according to Dr. Kamran Haghighat:

The metal-free component can provide an excellent option for patients with metal sensitivities or patients who are seeking metal-free dental options.
This implant can be screw-retained, preventing the risk of soft-tissue inflammation or issues with peri-implantitis.
The zirconia has been shown to absorb compressive forces, while the carbon fiber reinforced PEEK screw has been shown to withstand tensile forces allowing for a strong and durable implant option.
The thread design, tapered shape, and material provide for excellent stability and implant integration in the tissue.
The white color of these zirconia implants provides an excellent esthetic solution both in terms of final crown restoration as well as any possible shine-through in thin tissue areas.
Zirconia is shown to have a low affinity to plaque build-up.

These attributes can make the NobelPearl™ ceramic dental implant an excellent choice when looking for a quality metal-free implant option.
