CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Compatibility Expands Clinicians and Labs Restorative Capabilities Increasing Profitability and Streamlining Procedures
Atlantis Components, Inc., an innovator in the dental implant market, today announced that the Atlantis Abutment is compatible with the Straumann RN Implant. The Atlantis Abutment reduces overall costs, simplifies implant treatment protocols and provides optimal esthetic results to dental practitioners. The compatibility of Atlantis Abutments with Straumann RN Implants allows more dentists, surgical specialists and labs to streamline their implant procedures and increase profitability.
The Atlantis Abutment for the Straumann RN Implant provides a tight seal at the implant shoulder and contacts the Morse taper to provide axial stability and strength. The Atlantis Abutment is delivered with an Atlantis HT(TM) (High Torque) Titanium Abutment Screw compatible with the Straumann driver.
"The Atlantis Abutment already provides dental labs and clinicians excellent results, simplified implant processes and increased productivity. By adding compatibility with the Straumann RN Implant, users can simplify their implant protocols even more," said B.J. Kowalski, president of ROE Dental Laboratory. "One of the primary benefits is that the Atlantis Abutment allows labs to provide consistently excellent custom abutments for all of the most popular implant systems while freeing up resources."
The Atlantis Abutment is the first patient-specific abutment to be designed and fabricated using a patented, proprietary process combining state-of-the-art 3D optical scanning, an advanced software-based expert system and CNC machining methods. The revolutionary product that results from this sophisticated technology requires no hand-modification. Atlantis provides an anatomically correct solution that combines excellent esthetic outcomes, ease of use and higher profitability than with traditional protocols in a single product. Using Atlantis Abutments, dental practitioners involved in all phases of the implant process can achieve outstanding esthetics while contributing to a dramatic reduction in chair time and patient visits.
"Atlantis' efforts in making the Atlantis Abutment compatible across implant platforms demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality dental components to our customers and making it easier for them to install implants," said Michael Mancini, vice president, Sales and Marketing. "The new compatibility with the Straumann RN Implant increases the restorative possibilities for both labs and clinicians."
