Nobel Biocare partners with leading universities

Nobel Biocare and New York University College of Dentistry, the largest dental school in the US, will cooperate to integrate a dental implant therapy and aesthetic dentistry curriculum into all four years of the NYU predoctoral dental education program. Nobel Biocare has also strengthened its long-standing partnership with the University of Toronto, Canada's leading teaching and research university, by endowing US$2 million to establish the Nobel Biocare Chair in Prosthodontics. The chair's purpose is to advance the research and education surrounding the relationship between prosthodontics and implantology.


"Everyone should be able to have a good quality of life and be able to eat what they want, not what they can," said Heliane Canepa, President and CEO of Nobel Biocare. "Today, many general practitioners are not empowered to offer their patients the high aesthetic and functional benefits of implant technology. We are extremely excited to cooperate with NYU to develop a curriculum that will enable future dentists to meet the growing patient demands in aesthetic dentistry.

"We need to partner with universities because we need the dental profession to tell us what patients need. We provide and the dental profession, as the experts, decides. Together we are strong!"

Nobel Biocare will donate US$5 million to NYU over 5 years to be used to integrate dental implant therapy into the overall predoctoral education of the general dentist, as well as to support research, dental aesthetics, and ceramics.

For the University of Toronto, the chair will focus on developing the area of prosthodontics. The Dental Research Institute maintains a special Implant Prosthodontics Unit focusing on the relationship between implants and prosthodontics, which is a key to Nobel Biocare's patient-driven solutions and concepts. World-renowned scholar in prosthodontics, Prof. Asbjørn Jokstad from the University of Oslo, Norway recently joined the faculty to fill the chair.

Training and Education are cornerstones in Nobel Biocare's strategy to offer durable and esthetic tooth replacement solutions to dental professionals and patients. As one of the world leaders in undergraduate, post graduate and continuing education, the company has been providing specialist training and mentoring for its clinically documented treatment concepts for nearly 25 years. In 2005, over 200,000 dental professionals participated in Nobel Biocare training and education courses around the world.
