LONDON, UK: Celebrating the 50-year anniversary of the first successful osseointegrated implant ever placed in a patient, experts from all around the globe recently gathered in East London for the Nobel Biocare Team Conference. In addition to the achievements of the last decades, they discussed future concepts and prospects in the field of dental implantology

Held in The Brewery, the former site of the Whitbread brewery, the event was the latest in a series of international expert symposia that Nobel Biocare has held in cities around the world this year, including Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Monaco. According to UK marketing manager for Nobel Biocare Glenn Rhodes, up to 400 professionals from the UK and abroad attended the symposium in London, which also saw an appearance by Nobel Biocare CEO Richard Laube who acknowledged the achievements of his company this year, particularly in view of its transition into the Danaher group. He said that Nobel Biocare will continue to provide innovation in the future. “There is definitely more to come,” Laube promised.

“Being a part of such a big dental platform in the UK, we are already starting to see the benefits of that cross-working,” Rhodes added. “There is a lot of potential here with new opportunities to deliver more solutions to more professionals, to help our customers treat more patients better and in turn improving the quality of life of more patients.”

US health conglomerate Danaher acquired the Swiss Implant specialist at the end of last year. Following the transition, Nobel Biocare introduced a number of new products in the UK market this year, including new complete posterior solutions with the NobelParallel Conical Connect (CC) and the NobelActive Wide Platform (WP) implant systems.

“The Angulated Screw Channel (ASC) abutment and Omnigrip tooling is also flying off the shelves, because it offers enhanced access for posterior restorations, as well as fantastic restorative possibilities in the aesthetic zone,” Rhodes said.

Attendees of the conference were able to experience and discuss these and the company’s other latest innovations, such as new additions to the wide-platform NobelActive and the All-on-4 treatment concept with zygomatic implants, in London. The two-day event also offered a number of lectures, master classes and workshops on a wide range of topics, including peri-implantitis and immediate implant placement. Overall, the meeting gathered 26 leading speakers for the conference, according to Scientific co-chair Prof. Daniel van Steenberghe from Belgium, who also invited attendees to participate in the Foundation for Oral Rehabilitation, an independent, international initiative, founded in 2013 and endowed by Nobel Biocare.

“The energy from the recent conference shows that the profession is really behind Nobel Biocare and the solutions we offer. With this and so much more to offer the profession, we will continue striving for excellence and look forward to what we will achieve in the future,” Rhodes concluded.
