Nobel says bone loss claims not supported
January 5, 2006
ZURICH (Reuters) – Swiss-Swedish dental implant maker Nobel
Biocare rejected claims by two professors that one of its
dental implants could lead to bone loss, saying on Thursday
that their allegations were not supported by data.
Nobel said that data supplied by the two Swedish professors
who made the allegations about its NobelDirect implant
contained no scientifically or statistically relevant evidence
supporting their claims.
The concerns that NobelDirect caused bone loss have weighed
on the company’s shares in recent weeks.
