Overview

NobelReplace Conical Connection is the point at which Nobel Biocare moved its long-running NobelReplace family from the internal tri-channel interface to the internal conical connection shared with NobelActive and NobelParallel. That change is the reason for a good deal of confusion in practice: "NobelReplace" on its own does not identify a connection, and a NobelReplace Tapered or Replace Select implant placed years earlier will most likely carry the tri-channel interface instead. A second variant, the Partially Machined Collar (PMC) version, leaves the coronal collar smooth rather than textured. Note also the length convention here differs from the rest of the conical range — the implant is 0.6 mm longer than its name, not 0.5 mm shorter.

NobelActive vs NobelReplace Conical Connection

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