NobelReplace Conical Connection
Nobel Biocare · 🇨🇭 Switzerland
In plain English
Tapered, root-shaped implant. Also offered with the older Tri-Channel connection.
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
An oxidised (anodised) surface with a porous, volcano-like texture. It has been on the market since 2000 and has a large body of research.
