I know we bang on about CAD/CAM but this shows exactly why you need to work with premium partners like Atlantis.

Online editor to ensure we have complete control of our designs and as you can see, we've even made a few alterations to ensure it's perfectly within our prosthetic envelope.

Online viewer that we can use to communicate any potential issues to our surgical partners And a level of milling and finish that we still believe is the market leader.

Not only are CAD/CAM custom abutments more cost effective and clinically superior to any official stock components available, they also allow us to produce a completely unique, custom solution to be tailored the each cases specific requirements.

The icing on the cake fro peace of mind has to be the Warranty backed by the biggest dental company in the world which covers both the abutment and the fixture, regardless of which manufacturer the original implant is supplied by!

There is plenty of CAD/CAM available out there, but does yours offer all these benefits along with technicians that know how to get the very best from it? We only believe in providing the very best to our clients which is why we only partner with premium service and material providers like Atlantis.

We were fortunate enough to be in the Beta program at the very beginning of this system launch in the UK and have since gone on to teach how to get the best from this and other CAD/CAM systems across the UK and Europe and have seen many additions to the range that have improved the restorative options available to the surgeon and patient.

We'll be updating with more Atlantis, Atlantis Isus & ADi lecture dates in the near future.

Overcoming the aesthetic challenge of a resorbed bone ridge

This is is a 4 unit screw retained implant bridge where the patient did not want any block grafting or treatments to try and increase the volume of bone.

This left us with the situation where we wanted to ensure the very best aesthetic outcome for the patient by replacing the the space where the bone and tissue has resorbed with an artificial replacement.

The problem for laboratories is that most ceramic pinks are very difficult to make look natural and match the patients tissue tone.

The other issue is that some composites can discolour or dull after a couple of years after being fitted which tends to let the whole restoration down.

By using Crea.lign pinks from the Visio.lign range we are able to get a beautiful, natural soft tissue contour, especially if the surgeon chooses to use some of the Crea.lign range at the final fit (as practiced by Dr Christian Coachman which you can see by following this link) Crea.ligh also has excellent wear properties and similar discolouration tendencies as ceramic due to it's dense homogenous structure which ensure is will look good for a very long time indeed.

Another huge benefit of using Crea.lign is the future maintenance and ability to alter in future if needed as it can simply be polished, modified or added to in the mouth.

We are getting more cases like this coming through the laboratory as we hear that some patients simply do not want to have the bone grafts or other procedures required to increase the bone volume, so the ability to create natural, maintainable and alterable soft tissue tones is becoming more critical in meeting the patients high aesthetic expectations.

One more tip, please ensure the patient is told to brush their teeth AND the new false gum they now have as it's something many patients do not think to do.

A solution to access holes emerging through full arch implant restorations

This is proving to be a very popular implant solution for the problem of access holes that would normally emerge in the aesthetic zone.

A full arch case which can be fitted so that the occlusion and function can be checked with the patient and then the veneers bonded afterwards.

Working with the Visio.lign system allows Iain to make a really natural restoration which is also shock absorbing and allows the restoration to be repaired and maintained without removing from the patients mouth

Beautiful work as always by Iain.

Article published in the European Journal of Dental Implantologists

Congratulations to Dr Tim Doswell & Steve Campbell from the lab on having their
article published in The EDI (Issue 2/2013 Vol.9).

We think it's fair to say that The European Journal for Dental Implantologists is among the most well respected journals to have your work published in? It's certainly one that we've always looked forward to reading in the lab.

This is a technique that we started to develop together whilst out doing the Atlantis Roadshows in 2011/2012.

The whole team are very proud to have been able to support Tim in both the technique and the final crown that was finished by Mark Ambridge.
