WHAT IS TREFOIL?
The Trefoil system is a breakthrough an efficient treatment for edentulous, or widespread tooth loss in the mandible, leaving patients with a fixed and finalized prosthesis on the day of surgery1 . Using a pre-manufactured titanium bar with a unique retention mechanism, the Trefoil system by Nobel Biocare compensates for inherent deviations from the ideal implant position and ensures a stable, successful prosthetic support using just three implants.
MAIN BENEFITS
DEFINITIVE TEETH IN ONE DAY
The Trefoil system is an efficient solution that allows immediate function, making fixed, permanent teeth on the day of implant surgery an option for patients.
STRAIGHTFORWARD PROSTHETIC WORKFLOW
The pre-manufactured titanium bar streamlines the creation of the definitive acrylic prosthesis, saving time for patients and our oral surgeon.
SAFER, MORE PREDICTABLE, BETTER RESULTS
Anatomically designed to match the natural arch of the mandible, the pre-manufactured framework of the Trefoil system contains a pre-manufactured bar with adaptive joints that adjust to compensate for horizontal, vertical and angular deviations from the ideal implant position. With the Trefoil system, patients receive a treatment that can fully support a full arch restoration without placing unnecessary stress on the bone, implant fixtures, or abutment.
A BREAKTHROUGH IN WORKFLOW EFFICIENCY

Spend Less Time in the Chair and More Time Smiling
Trefoil revolutionizes the dental full mouth rehabilitation process by bringing new efficiencies to every step of the process – from how each component is made to the design of the final restoration. The Trefoil system offers reduced chair time and shorter time-to-teeth compared to conventional treatment by combining:
- A pre-manufactured titanium bar
- A simplified restorative workflow
- A fixed and definitive acrylic prosthesis
- Reduced restorative componentry
- Reduced chair time and restorative work
Thanks to the use of the pre-manufactured titanium bar, the process can be compressed into approximately six hours of active working time. Even more importantly, as the treatment provides individuals with a definitive or permanent restoration on the day of surgery, patients cut down time-to-teeth by up to six months.
