Noris Medical

Your dentist hands you a treatment plan with an implant brand printed at the top, and the name means nothing to you. You can look up a car's crash rating in under a minute. The titanium post that may remain in your jaw for many years is somehow harder to check.

It is checkable. Class B, C and D medical devices generally require HSA registration before routine supply in Singapore, subject to specific regulatory exceptions. The public register kept by the Health Sciences Authority lists a registration number, a risk class and exactly which components are covered. Noris Medical sits on that register under DE0509071, and the entry shows what has actually been registered for use in Singapore, rather than how the system is presented in marketing materials.

What Is Noris Medical?

Noris Medical is a manufacturer of dental implants and the prosthetic and surgical components that go with them. The company originates in Israel, and the product owner listed against the Singapore registration is its German entity, Noris Medical GmbH.

The company holds multiple clearances from the United States Food and Drug Administration, running from the original Noris Medical Dental Implants System in December 2014 through to the LONGY and LONGY-N implants in February 2025. Each was cleared through the 510(k) route, meaning the manufacturer demonstrated the device was substantially equivalent in safety and performance to one already on the market. Along the way the company cleared a zygomatic system in 2016, a cortical implant in 2022 and a conical platform system in 2024.

That history matters for an unglamorous reason. Ten years from now you may need a screw replaced or a bridge remade, and the part has to match the implant already in your jaw. A manufacturer still filing with regulators is a manufacturer still making those parts.

Is Noris Medical Registered for Use in Singapore?

Yes. The NORIS Medical Dental Implants System appears on the Singapore Medical Device Register maintained by the Health Sciences Authority. Registration is a legal condition of supply. It is not a government endorsement, and it says nothing about how the system compares with any other.

Class C is the second-highest of Singapore's four device risk classes, which is where implanted dental fixtures sit. The registered intended use is to replace a missing tooth or teeth in either jaw to support a prosthesis and help restore chewing function, in either a one-stage or a two-stage surgical procedure, with immediate loading possible where good primary stability is achieved.

For scale, the register currently carries around 82 dental implant system registrations from roughly 30 different manufacturers. Noris Medical is one entry among many. The register is public, so you can look up whatever brand your dentist proposes.

Which Noris Medical Implants Are Registered in Singapore

The Singapore registration lists six implant lines. The manufacturer's global catalogue is wider than what may be supplied here, and lines such as Cortical, MBI and LONGY do not appear on the local entry.

Implant line	Diameters	Lengths	Typical role
Tuff	3.3 to 6.0mm	6 to 25mm	General bone-level implant across most sites
Tuff TT	4.2 to 6.0mm	6 to 20mm	Variant of the Tuff body
Onyx	3.3 to 6.0mm	6 to 16mm	General bone-level implant
Zygomatic	4.2mm	30 to 60mm	Anchorage in the cheekbone when the upper jaw has lost too much bone
PteryCore	4.2mm	18 to 25mm	Anchorage in the pterygoid region at the back of the upper jaw
PteryFit	4.2mm	18 to 25mm	Anchorage in the pterygoid region

The registration also covers the prosthetic parts that make full-arch work possible, including multi-unit abutments in straight, 17, 30, 45, 52 and 60 degree angulations, healing caps, ball and flat attachments, and dedicated surgical kits for zygomatic and pterygoid placement.

What Noris Medical Implants Are Made From

Material

The implants are made from Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy manufactured to ASTM F136, the standard that governs surgical-grade titanium for implanted devices. ELI stands for extra low interstitial, which describes a tighter limit on oxygen and other trace elements and raises the alloy's fracture toughness relative to standard grades. Ti-6Al-4V ELI is also used across a range of dental implant systems, so the material itself is only one factor to consider when comparing implant systems.

Surface

The implant surface is treated with resorbable blast media, usually shortened to RBM. Blasting the titanium with a soluble ceramic particle roughens it at a microscopic scale. That gives bone more surface to grip as it grows onto the implant, the process called osseointegration. Different manufacturers use different surface chemistries, and the research comparing them across bone types is still developing.

Shape and connection

The implant bodies are tapered with a variable thread that allows them to be self-tapping, so they cut their own path as they are driven in. The aim is primary stability, meaning the implant is held firm the moment it goes in. That is one of the factors that helps determine whether teeth can be fitted immediately or whether a period of healing is needed first. The prosthetic connection is an internal hex, and the zygomatic implants use a 3.75mm platform.

Implants are supplied single use and sterilised by gamma irradiation, and the range is fatigue tested to ISO 14801, the international standard for cyclic loading of endosseous dental implants.

Types of Noris Medical Implants and When They Are Used

In a healthy site with adequate bone, there may be several registered implant systems that are suitable. What separates one system from another is how far its range extends once the bone has gone, and that is where the six Noris lines registered in Singapore divide. Tuff, Tuff TT and Onyx cover routine sites. Zygomatic, PteryCore and PteryFit are intended for cases where reduced upper jaw bone may make conventional implant placement difficult.

Zygomatic implants

When the upper jaw has resorbed severely, often after years of wearing an upper denture, there may not be enough bone left to hold a standard implant. One treatment approach is bone grafting followed by a period of healing. Zygomatic implants take a different route by passing through or alongside the sinus and anchoring in the cheekbone, which does not resorb in the same way. The Noris zygomatic range runs from 30mm to 60mm in 2.5mm steps, and its registered indication is to be implanted in the upper arch to support fixed or removable prostheses in upper jaws that are partly or completely without teeth.

Pterygoid implants

Pterygoid implants angle backwards into the dense bone of the pterygoid plates, behind the upper molars. They can be used to provide posterior support for a full-arch bridge and, in selected cases, may offer an alternative approach where a sinus lift would otherwise be considered. The PteryCore and PteryFit lines are both 4.2mm wide and come in 18, 20, 22 and 25mm lengths.

Angled abutments and full-arch bridges

Implants placed at an angle need a prosthetic component that brings them back into a common path so a single bridge can seat on all of them. That is what multi-unit abutments do, and the angulations available set a practical limit on how much tilt a system can accommodate. The Noris registration includes multi-unit and Vari Connect abutments up to 60 degrees, including components used in tilted-implant protocols such as All-on-4.

How Long Zygomatic Implants Last

Noris makes one of the zygomatic systems registered in Singapore, but the published evidence on this technique is not brand-specific, and it is worth being clear about what it actually shows. A 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis in the International Journal of Implant Dentistry pooled 18 studies covering 1,349 zygomatic implants in 623 patients, with a mean follow-up of 75.4 months. It reported mean zygomatic implant survival of 96.2% at six years, with a 95% confidence interval of 93.8% to 97.7%, and an annual failure incidence of 0.7%. Immediately loaded implants recorded 98.1% survival against 95% for delayed loading. Survival of the prosthesis itself averaged 94%.

The same review found sinusitis in 14.2% of cases at five years, the most frequently reported biological complication of the technique. That is roughly one in seven patients, and it belongs in the conversation before you consent to anything. Your own outcome depends on your anatomy, your general health, your smoking status and how the case is planned.

How We Use Noris Medical Implants

Dr Samintharaj Kumar is listed as a key opinion representative for Noris Medical Implants. He has worked in implant dentistry since 2004, holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Singapore and a medical degree from London, is a Diplomate and Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and directs the ZAGA Centre in Singapore. Our dentists work across several implant systems, not one, and where Noris differs within the systems we use is at the long-implant end of its range: the zygomatic and pterygoid lines used when reduced upper jaw bone may limit standard implant placement.

For a routine single tooth in healthy bone, the choice between registered systems matters far less than how the case is planned and placed. Whether a Noris implant or another system suits you is a clinical decision made after imaging and assessment, not something to settle from a website. If you are weighing up implant treatment, a consultation is where the bone you actually have, the systems that fit it and the cost of dental implants can all be discussed against your own scans. You are welcome to bring this page with you and ask which system is being proposed for you and why.

Cost Of Root Canal Treatment In Singapore

Root Canal Treatment Cost

The price varies according to the unique treatment prescribed to each individual patient. For example, if a root canal treatment is require for more than one root, the cost would go up as well. However, saving the tooth with a Root Canal treatment is relatively cost-efficient in the long run.

A Root Canal Treatment procedure in Singapore's price ranges from S$500 - S$1700. However, the price may or may not include the crowning of the tooth and consultation charges. Average consultation prices of dental services in Singapore ranges from S$75- S$200.

Root Canal Treatment FAQs

Is a Root Canal Treatment procedure painful?

The entire procedure will be done under local anaesthesia, so it will not be painful than getting your tooth filled or a wisdom tooth surgery. However, the affected area may cause discomfort and be slightly sore post-surgery but it goes away after a few days.
If the pain persists, please consult our doctor immediately. You can reach us at +65 9839 7363.

Can I go about my day to day activities after a Root Canal Treatment?
Most patients are able to return to school or work the next day following a Root Canal Treatment. However, it is advised against eating immediately post-surgery as there may be numbness in the affected area.

What are the side effects of a Root Canal Treatment?

The side effects of a Root Canal Treatment differs with each individual. Some people may experience pain or a slight soreness post-surgery, and some people may experience little to no pain at all. This also applies to certain patients experiencing a measured amount of sensitivity associated to cold or heat when consuming food or beverages.

What is the aftercare for a Root Canal Treatment?

As a Root Canal Treatment is considered a restorative procedure, the after-care is deemed crucial to experience lasting effects. After your procedure, your dentist will send you home with pain-killers to counter the soreness you may feel when the anaesthesia wears off. It is also strongly advised against the consumption of food until the numbness wears off. Brushing and flossing daily is encouraged to keep the area clean and this in turn would prevent infection. Upon completing any follow-up appointments for the Root Canal Treatment, you may be required to return to the dentist for a final crown to fully restore the tooth. A properly treated and restored tooth can last as long as your natural teeth.

Can a Root Canal Treatment be unsuccessful?

A Root Canal Treatment has a 90% success rate of fully restoring your tooth. However. failure to fully restore your tooth can occur if there is a loose crown, tooth fracture or decay. Undetected canal branches or an obstruction that causes the cleaning difficulties may also cause a Root Canal Procedure to fail. Should your Root Canal Treatment be unsuccessful, explore options with Nuffield's Endodontist for possible solutions.

FAQs

What services does Noris Medical offer?

Noris Medical is a manufacturer, not a clinic. It supplies implant systems, prosthetic components and surgical kits to dentists and oral surgeons, and runs training for clinicians. Patients do not buy from Noris Medical directly. The treatment is provided by the dental clinic, which selects and places the implant.

Does Nuffield Dental use Noris Medical implants?

Dr Samintharaj Kumar is listed as a key opinion representative for Noris Medical Implants, and our dentists work across several implant systems. Which system is used in your case depends on your anatomy and the plan agreed at consultation.

Are dental implant brands interchangeable?

No. Each manufacturer holds its own registration in Singapore, and components are generally not interchangeable between systems. That is why the implant used in your case should be recorded in your notes, so a future dentist can order parts that fit.

Are Noris Medical implants used for All-on-4 treatment?

The Singapore registration includes multi-unit and Vari Connect abutments in angulations up to 60 degrees, which are among the components used in tilted-implant protocols such as All-on-4. Whether that protocol is suitable depends on factors including your bone anatomy and overall treatment plan, rather than the implant brand alone.

Can Noris Medical implants be used with abutments from other brands?

Not as cleared. The FDA clearance for the newer Noris implants states that they are compatible with Noris Medical internal hex platform abutments and superstructures only. Mixing components across manufacturers falls outside what the device was tested and cleared for.

How long do Noris Medical implants last?

There is no published long-term survival data specific to this brand in Singapore. The evidence that exists is technique-level, which is why the zygomatic figures in this article describe the procedure across many manufacturers. Longevity depends far more on bone quality, gum health, smoking and maintenance than on which registered system was used.
