Throughout the industrialized world there are more than 240 million people missing one tooth or more. However, only 4 million patients have been treated with dental implants. As the baby boomers born in the 1940s reach middle age, the market will accelerate strongly. Having the money to spend, this group will put higher emphasis upon esthetic solutions and optimal function. Dental implants will be part of a life style and may become as common as eyeglasses, or hearing aids.

The critical point will be to train enough dentists who can offer implant treatment. The method is not part of the general training given to dentists in many countries and dentists therefore have to be trained through companies such as Nobel Biocare. Noble has therefore invested in new training centers. The target for 2002 is to train over 60,000 specialists and general practitioners globally.

Procera provides personalized high esthetic solutions and is the most effective, profitable way of working, both for dentists and laboratories.

The Nobel Biocare immediate function procedure and components in combination with Procera prosthetics makes implant treatment a most natural part of restorative dentistry, available for all dentists. Implants will no longer be seen as an exclusive treatment, but the first choice as soon as a tooth is lost.



Facts about Procera

Procera is the world’s first, and so far only, commercially available process for industrial production of individually adapted dental prosthetics.
The traditional method of replacing the natural tooth crown with a fixed prosthetic crown has been available for around 100 years.
The dentist files the tooth down and takes an impression, which is sent to a
dental laboratory where a new crown is produced in a lengthy, expensive, handicraft procedure. The work at the dental laboratory can be split in two parts. First, a supporting inner construction, the so-called coping, is made. Afterwards, the coping is coated with an outer layer of porcelain.
Procera is aimed at the production of the coping - the part of the process which today is possible to industrialize. The dentist sends the impression to a laboratory where the model is registered by a Procera Scanner which is connected to a PC in which the coping is designed digitally. The digital information is then transferred to a central production facility owned by Nobel Biocare, where the individually adapted coping is manufactured. Within 1-3 days the laboratory receives the coping and provides it with the outer layer of porcelain to obtain the shape and colour desired.
