Atlantis Abutments Available For Astra Tech OsseoSpeed 3.0 S Implant
WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Astra Tech, leader and provider of comprehensive solutions for dental implant therapy, is pleased to announce the availability of the Atlantis™ abutments in titanium and gold-shaded titanium for the Astra Tech OsseoSpeed™ 3.0 S implant. The Conical Seal Design™ of the Astra Tech implant system is maintained in the fabrication of the Atlantis abutment to create a tight seal and provide the benefits of a strong and stable fit that helps to eliminate micro-movement and micro-leakage.
Dental implants from Astra Tech are among the most well documented on the market. The Astra Tech Implant System™ was introduced in the late 1980s and now, almost twenty years later, the same implant system backed by long-term clinical documentation, remains highly effective. Astra Tech OsseoSpeed™ 3.0 S implants are especially designed for the replacement of maxillary laterals and mandibular incisors. When restored with an Atlantis GoldHue™ abutment, which has a thin coating of titanium nitride to provide a warm gold-shaded color, the combination provides the perfect solution for esthetically demanding cases. The Atlantis GoldHue abutment is also ideal for use in patients with thin soft tissue or under all ceramic crowns.
Atlantis abutments are designed and fabricated using Atlantis VAD™ (Virtual Abutment Design) system, a patented, proprietary process that combines state-of-the-art 3D optical scanning, advanced software-based expert systems, and sophisticated manufacturing methods to deliver patient-specific abutments that eliminates the need for hand-modification.
Atlantis abutments help to expand the possibilities for cement-retained implant restorations and are available in both the widest range of interfaces and materials in the industry today, including titanium, gold-shaded titanium and zirconia.
