|---|---|
| Implant level | Insufficient evidence(Checked the NobelParallel Conical Connection instructions for use (IFU1002 000 00) 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 NobelParallel CC. Nobel Biocare states elsewhere that it offers both bone- and tissue-level implants but does not assign NobelParallel CC to either category in the documents reviewed.) |

The clearances below are held by Nobel Biocare at brand level and cover its implant range, not NobelParallel Conical Connection 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.
