Quick facts
| Current status | Current. NobelActive is listed in the Nobel Biocare implant catalogue with 56 options.Manufacturer-reported[1][2] |
|---|---|
| Implant level | Insufficient evidence(Checked the NobelActive TiUnite/TiUltra instructions for use (IFU1001 000 05) and the two conical connection product overviews (86168B and 81657F) in addition to the Nobel Biocare product page. None of them uses the words "bone level" or "tissue level" about NobelActive; the IFU describes it only as an endosseous threaded implant. Nobel Biocare states elsewhere that it offers both bone- and tissue-level implants but does not assign NobelActive to either category in the documents reviewed.) |
| Body geometry | Expanding tapered body which Nobel Biocare states condenses bone gradually during insertion, with reverse cutting blades that allow the implant position to be adjusted during placement.Manufacturer-reported[2] |
| Thread design | Double-lead thread, which Nobel Biocare states engages the osteotomy faster than a single-lead thread.Manufacturer-reported[2] |
| Apex design | Sharp cutting blades at the apex, which Nobel Biocare states allow under-preparation of the surgical site.Manufacturer-reported[2] |
| Material | Commercially pure titanium grade 4. The instructions for use give the composition as titanium balanced with max. 0.50 wt.% iron, max. 0.40 wt.% oxygen, max. 0.08 wt.% carbon, max. 0.05 wt.% nitrogen and max. 0.015 wt.% hydrogen, and state that the TiUltra variant is additionally layered with a water-soluble salt mixture of sodium dihydrogen phosphate and magnesium chloride. The co-packed cover screw is Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy.Manufacturer-reported[3] |
| Surface | TiUltra, introduced in 2019; also offered historically with the TiUnite surface.Manufacturer-reported[2] |
| Connection | Internal conical connection. Nobel Biocare groups NobelActive under the "Internal Conical Connection" filter in its implant catalogue.Manufacturer-reported[1][4] |
| Platform switching | Nobel Biocare describes "enhanced platform shifting" for the NobelActive S variant but publishes no dimension for it on the pages reviewed.Manufacturer-reported[2] |
| Available diameters | NobelActive TiUltra is catalogued in ∅ 3.0, 3.5, 4.3, 5.0 and 5.5 mm.Manufacturer-reported[4] |
| Available lengths | ∅ 3.0 mm: 10–13 mm. ∅ 3.5, 4.3 and 5.0 mm: 8.5–18 mm. ∅ 5.5 mm: 7–15 mm. Nobel Biocare notes that the actual implant length is 0.5 mm shorter than the length in the product name.Manufacturer-reported[4] |

The clearances below are held by Nobel Biocare at brand level and cover its implant range, not NobelActive specifically. We show them here because that is the level at which regulators actually issue them.
Regulatory record
Read this before drawing conclusions. A clearance or certificate means a device may legally be sold in a market. It is not a finding that the implant performs well, and it is not a comparison against other implants. In particular, FDA "clearance" is not FDA "approval" — clearance means the FDA accepted the device as substantially equivalent to one already on the market. What these actually mean →

Clearance records for Nobel Biocare were retrieved from the issuing authority's own database, not from the manufacturer's marketing material. We attribute a clearance to a brand only when the filing holder belongs to that brand's corporate family — third-party clearances for compatible components are excluded, because they belong to the company that made the component, not to Nobel Biocare.
