Nobel Guide®
NobelGuide® -- Perfect Planning for Perfect Teeth
More and more people now think of beautiful, fully functioning teeth as their birthright. With NobelGuide® implants, we can offer you a long-lasting, natural-looking, comfortable smile. Nobel Biocare delivers solutions based on three core concepts – Easy Esthetics®, Soft Tissue Integration® and Immediate Function® – which together allow you to have Beautiful Teeth Now®.
With NobelGuide®, the placing of the implant, abutment and restorative
crown or bridge happens during the same visit. Dr. Chal will use
either conventional modeling or computer aided-3D design
to determine the exact position and depth of the implants
before surgery. This information enables Dr. Chal and
the dental laboratory to produce a template, which
guides the procedure from start to a completely successful
placement. Dr. Chal, with Oral Maxillofacial Radiologist,
Dr. David Hatcher, have extensive experience with this
technology. They lecture together internationally on
this subject. Dr.
David Hatcher is
also a recognized specialist by the American Dental
Association (ADA).
The Nobel Guide® concept can be utilized to replace one or
many missing teeth. It’s most revolutionary benefit is for patients
who have lost all of their teeth. Patients with uncomfortable
full dentures can have "fixed teeth" designed by Procera® Computer
Software and new teeth placed in an hour.
The following treatment sequence is used to fabricate Nobel Guide™ to
teeth in an hour ™ restorations.
1. Initial consultation with Dr. Chal
2. Thorough, informed consent and treatment plan are mutually agreed
upon.
3. A "perfect" prototype denture is fabricated to work out esthetics,
phonetics, facial soft-tissue support and to provide
the foundation for radiographic markers for CT scan.
4. A 3-dimensional Cone Beam CT Scan is made with low radiation in
only 40 seconds. The patient's jaw and dentures are
scanned.
5. Special Procera® Computer Software allows for "virtual"
surgery to be accomplished. A custom designed surgical
template is fabricated in Sweden. This exact planning
also allows for fabrication of the prosthetic teeth
prior to the actual surgery.
6. The surgical visit is simplified due to the computer planning
and the teeth in an hour® are placed.
Dr. Chal has presented numerous lectures on dental implantology to
international dental audiences at major dental meetings.
One of his lectures, titled "Advanced Imaging and Reconstructive
Dentistry" given
with co-presentor, Dr. David Hatcher, Oral and Maxillofacial
Radiologist, covered the topic of 3-D Cone Beam Cat
Scan, treatment planning, "virtual" surgery,
Nobel Guide®, and teeth in an hour®.
