Have a look into the future at the 2003 World Conference in Las Vegas, April 2�5 where Nobel Biocare, the world leader in innovative esthetic dental solutions, will share its vision of the "C & B & I" initiative and the many new products and procedures that support it. It is this new powerful concept, successfully launched last fall, that adds implant esthetic and functional solutions to those familiar to crown-and-bridge, enhancing and completing the discipline. Implants will no longer be considered an add-on treatment. In addition, the Company has indicated that new data will clearly demonstrate that Immediate Function with implants is now possible for the functional and esthetic benefit for patients.
Many noted experts will present new product concepts and procedures that make this possible, such as a One-Piece Implant and a Scalloped Margin Implant, and new methods for managing the rehabilitation of the burgeoning number of partially edentulous patients with implants.
Nobel Biocare will also present the many studies documenting the fact that their breakthrough TiUniteTM surface, BRANEMARK SYSTEM® and REPLACE® Implants allow for Immediate Function. These clinical outcomes have a high success level only before seen with the conventional techniques that required healing periods before function. This includes the report in which the FDA recently substantiated the claim by clearing both product lines "for Immediate Function for all indications." Data supporting these claims will be presented in many clinical studies demonstrating how the unique TiUniteTM surface optimizes osseointegration, and promotes bone formation directly on the implant surface shortly after insertion.
In addition to general sessions including the "Teeth-in-an-hour" concept and the use of versatile Procera® Technology to achieve the highest esthetic standards, the World Conference features 25 Focus Session courses that address specific topics and techniques.
Participants can select Hands-On Training that allows them to place implants in simulated bone and prepare prosthetics, with guidance from trained technical specialists. A Surgical Assisting Workshop and full-day Certification program on Oral Implantology for hygienists make this conference valuable for the entire dental team. Continuing education credit will be available.
Before the meeting, there are five Full Day Courses for different aspects of "Today's Standard for Patient Care," which enable participants to improve their skills or take on new modalities within the winning C&B&I concept.
Nobel Biocare, President and CEO, Heliane Canepa, promises, "you will learn how to extend your business with implants, to solve complex situations with simple solutions, and to optimally use materials and components to achieve immediate esthetics and function." Sounds like an exciting look into the future for all who attend!
