NobelParallel™ S implant: the S Series version, explained

Parallel walled

The NobelParallel™ S implant is part of the S Series. Its body in the bone is the same as the classic NobelParallel™ CC implant; the difference is that every size has the same Narrow Platform (NP) conical connection.1

Generic implants (not Nobel Biocare products)
In short
  • Body: parallel walled.1
  • Diameters 3.75, 4.3, 5.0, 5.5 mm; lengths 7 – 18 mm.1
  • One NP conical connection for every size.1
  • TiUltra™ or TiUnite® surface.1

How it relates to the classic implant

The FDA summary states that the S Series implant bodies are the same as the predicate devices, so surgeons use the same drills and protocols they know from the classic NobelParallel™ CC implant.1 What changes is the top: instead of NP, RP or WP connections by width, all sizes share one NP conical connection.

Regulatory record

The FDA 510(k) summary for the S Series (cleared 18 February 2026) describes one consistent diameter at the implant–abutment interface for every implant size and type: the Narrow Platform (NP) conical connection. 1

Classic NobelParallel™ CC implantThe S Series family

Design in plain words

A parallel-walled body is a classic, versatile shape, often used in healed bone of normal density. The classic NobelParallel™ CC implant was cleared by FDA in 2019.2

Nominal length is the label length; the manufacturer notes the true length differs slightly and surgeons plan with it.3

Good to know

The S Series is new (2026), so long-term clinical studies on these exact products do not exist yet. The body design has been used for many years in its classic form.

Which one is right for you? No website can answer that. The choice depends on your bone, the gap, the planned teeth and the surgeon's experience. Use these pages to prepare questions, not to pick an implant.

Frequently asked questions

Is the NobelParallel™ S implant the same as the NobelParallel™ CC implant?
Same body in the bone, different connection on top. The prosthetic parts are not the same.1
Why would a surgeon choose the S version?
The single connection simplifies parts and planning. The surgeon decides based on your case and what the clinic uses.
