NobelActive
Nobel Biocare · 🇨🇭 Switzerland
In plain English
Popular for immediate placement because its threads condense bone as it goes in.
The top of the implant sits level with the jawbone. This gives the dentist the most freedom to shape the gum for a natural look, which is why it is the most common type today.

What the connection means
The abutment sits inside a cone in the implant, like a cork in a bottle. The tight fit reduces micro-movement and bacterial leakage and usually allows platform switching.
About the surface
Nobel's newer surface that changes gradually from smooth at the neck to rough at the tip, aiming to combine easy cleaning at the top with strong bone contact below.
