Procera® Implant Bridge


The Nobel Biocare Procera® Implant Bridge consist of the one-piece machined titanium substructure and the carbon-fibered framework unit. The machined framework is made from a pattern that is scanned using a special scanner at the Nobel Biocare manufacturing facility. The scanner data of the framework pattern design and the data scanned from the individual implant platforms are transferred to the computer where the one-piece framework design is finalized and prepared for machining at the manufacturing facility. The one-piece framework designs can be created in a form that permits the development of individual tooth units or of a bar design that will be incorporated into the acrylic resin denture base of a fixed implant supported prosthesis. When the machining of the framework has been completed it is returned to the laboratory of origin for application of low fusing porcelain creating individual teeth that will appear to emerge from the implants at the fixture level or the framework is prepared for inclusion in the waxed denture base as the supporting substructure that may attach to the implants directly or to one of the several Nobel Biocare implant abutments. The carbon-fibered framework is one that can be made by the technician in the laboratory. The framework is created from a special tube-like component that contains the carbon fibers and a liquid that can be polymerized in an oven. The technician forms the framework to abutment components on the master cast using special attachments produced for this framework by Nobel Biocare. Once the technician has developed the framework design and form, the master cast and carbon-fibered framework is placed into an oven for polymerization. After curing, the framework can be finished with dental burs to its final form. The framework is incorporated into the acrylic resin denture base of the final prosthesis. The “Center For Excellence” was completed studies on the Procera® Implant Bridge that are reported in this Website.
