How does NobelProcera compare to ROE's other fixed full-arch options, and what design styles are available?
NobelProcera sits in ROE's premium fixed tier, earning top marks for esthetics and wear while offering the cement-free, direct-to-implant engineering described above. The comparison below uses each product's own published ratings.
| Fixed option | Esthetics | Wear | Price | Substructure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NobelProcera® | 5 of 5 | 5 of 5 | $$$$ | DOCERAM Nacera® Pearl Zirconia |
| TLZ-IB Zirconia | 5 of 5 | 5 of 5 | $$$$ | Full zirconia |
| TLZ-IB with Metal Substructure | 4 of 5 | 5 of 5 | $$$$$ | Titanium |
| G-CAM Graphenano | 4 of 5 | 3 of 5 | $$ | Graphene biopolymer (G-CAM disc) |
How to choose: NobelProcera is the option to reach for when you want a cement-free, screw-retained zirconia bridge with maximum esthetics, angulation freedom, and retrievability, and the patient is not a heavy bruxer. The TLZ-IB Zirconia is ROE's comparably premium full-zirconia bridge, while the TLZ-IB with a titanium substructure targets cases needing extra strength at the top price tier. The G-CAM Graphenano is the value, lightweight choice where budget is the priority and the highest wear rating is not required.
Design configurations: NobelProcera can be fabricated in several styles, so the esthetic and structural approach can be tailored to the case:
| Design style | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Full-contour | Monolithic strength with esthetics built into the full form. |
| Cut-back | Selective reduction for layering or veneering where enhanced esthetics are desired, often in the anterior. |
| Thimble | A coping-style configuration for individualized layering or veneering on a zirconia framework. |
| Framework | A traditional framework build for cases that call for a substructure approach. |
