Question 1

What is Nobel Active® and what type of connection does it use?

Accepted Answer

Nobel Active® is a premium implant system by Nobel Biocare® built around a conical (Morse taper) connection — one of the most advanced implant-abutment interfaces in modern implant dentistry. The conical connection works by creating a deep, tapered friction fit between the implant and abutment, generating a cold-weld effect that virtually eliminates micro-movement and bacterial infiltration at the interface. Unlike internal hex or external hex connections, the conical design delivers a superior mechanical seal, significantly reduced crestal bone loss, and greater long-term peri-implant tissue stability. Nobel Active® with its conical connection is specifically engineered for immediate placement, immediate loading, and high primary stability across all bone types — making it one of the most biomechanically favorable implant systems available today.

Question 2

What Nobel Active® compatible products does DIP Dental offer?

Accepted Answer

DIP Dental offers a complete line of prosthetic components compatible with the Nobel Active® conical connection system — including straight and angulated multi-unit abutments (M1.6), impression copings (open and closed tray), scan bodies, CAD/CAM titanium bases, lab analogs, digital analogs, healing abutments, and cover screws. All products are available in Narrow Platform (NP Ø3.5mm) and Regular Platform (RP Ø4.3–5.0mm). Whether restoring a single implant or planning a full-arch All-on-4 or All-on-6 case, DIP Dental covers the entire Nobel Active® prosthetic workflow from surgery to final restoration.

Question 3

What platform options are available — NP and RP — and how do I choose?

Accepted Answer

DIP Dental M1.6 multi-unit abutments are available in two platforms: Narrow Platform (NP) Ø3.5mm — designed for narrow-diameter Nobel Active® implants and anterior sites with limited bone width, and Regular Platform (RP) Ø4.3–5.0mm — suited for standard and posterior Nobel Active® implants. Platform selection is determined by the diameter of the Nobel Active® implant that was placed. Confirm the implant diameter from the surgical record or patient documentation before ordering.

Question 4

Are DIP Dental Nobel Active® multi-unit abutments identical to the original?

Accepted Answer

Yes — same conical connection geometry, machined to identical tolerances. One important distinction: while Nobel Biocare's original multi-unit abutment uses an M1.4 prosthetic screw, DIP Dental's version upgrades to an M1.6 screw — a thicker, stronger thread that provides greater mechanical resistance to screw fracture and loosening under the high forces typical of full-arch rehabilitations. Same connection, stronger screw.

Question 5

What angle options are available and when should I use each?

Accepted Answer

DIP Dental M1.6 multi-unit abutments are available in three angulations: straight (0°) for implants placed in a favorable axial position, 17° for mild implant divergence, and 30° for significantly angulated implants. The angulated options redirect the screw access channel to achieve a common prosthetic path of insertion — essential for passive full-arch framework seating in All-on-4 and All-on-6 cases. Both angulations are available in NP and RP platforms.

Question 6

Are these multi-unit abutments compatible with digital workflows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DIP Dental offers a complete digital prosthetic ecosystem for Nobel Active® compatible M1.6 multi-unit abutments — including scan bodies, digital analogs, impression copings, and titanium bases. Clinicians can use these abutments as the foundation for a fully digital workflow: from intraoral scanning and virtual planning through to CAD/CAM design and milling of the final full-arch prosthesis, using DIP Dental components throughout.
