<u>Getting the best from All Ceramic restorations</u><br />
</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
We love to share tips with our clients to help us work together to produce the best results we can for our patients.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
This month we are going to share an important consideration when restoring with All Ceramic restorations, in particular we will be looking at the effects underlying stump shades have on the Value of all ceramic restorations.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
Firstly, using an All Ceramic material offers the possibility of truly outstanding aesthetic results due to the lack of metal or reflective substructures, yet still offering very high strength. One of the reasons the results are superior is in the case of metal bonded (PFM) the frameworks are non-light transmittal, an aesthetic problem right from the start, plus as they are almost black in colour, and can be quite difficult to mask (which can often be the case with non translucent or ‘white’ Zirconia).</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
The main disadvantage of the Zirconia framework is the higher rate of chipping that can occur with the final layered ceramic. This can be due to many factors such as the critical material handling or if the frameworks have not been designed to support the layering porcelain in a very particular way.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
So, with e.max press we have excellent strength when bonded as shown in <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20859559" style="color: maroon;">this independent study.</a><br />
<br />
These also offer superb choices of the pressed ceramic material to base the restoration which will provide a beautiful result.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
Due to the translucency, one of the biggest factors involved in obtaining a successful result however is receiving adequate information regarding the shade of the preparation we are restoring upon.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
As this is not normally a big factor with traditional restorations (due to the fact the substructure of alloy or zirconia will normally mask this) and it can easily be overlooked, the results of which will badly effect the Value of the crown and make it look dull and dead.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
Here we look at the importance of communicating this information, and particularly how providing good photographs.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">What do we need to use?</span></span><br />
<br />
<u>Digital Camera</u><br />
<br />
It doesn't really matter what you're preferred brand is but a decent DSLR camera is essential for relaying accurate and genuinely useful detailed images to the lab.<br />
<br />
We do get images from mobile devices and although some information is better than none at all, it really doesn't give us the depth of information needed to include the fine detailing that can really make a crown come to life and blend in naturally with the surrounding teeth.<br />
</div>

<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
Ivoclar Vivadent have created a range of ND shade guides for relaying the colour of the underlying preparation to the laboratory which can then use some special resins to pour the preps in the correct shade. This allows them to confirm that the different All Ceramic crowns or veneers match up even as they are building them and finishing at the laboratory.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
At our laboratory we have taken this one step further by individually matching cement die spacers to each individual ND shade tab, this allows us to use the accurate model materials and systems we know get accurate results whilst also ensuring we have dealt with any shade correction issues properly.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
And because we have different stones used for different indications we also matched each individual paint to give the same final shade regardless of which colour stone it is painted onto</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<img align="none" border="0" height="365" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/faf9537638939c81bcea588fa/images/Painted_Models.gif" style="border: 0px solid; display: inline; height: 365px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 550px;" width="550" /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
Sounds like a lot of effort, how much of a difference does it really make?</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
If you look at the model we have painted to simulate the ND shades below you can see the variations on the 15,14 & 13, with 15 & 14 being quite similar and the 13 being obviously more discoloured (a situation that occurs quite frequently on the cases we restore)</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<img align="none" border="0" height="382" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/faf9537638939c81bcea588fa/images/Painted_1.gif" style="border: 0px solid; display: inline; height: 382px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 550px;" width="550" /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
We pressed 3 simple blank veneers in e.max All Ceramic, each of an even thickness, and as you can see were all the same shade.<br />
<br />
As you can see, these blanks aren't even that translucent so we have a potential issue even on LT pellets if the underlying shade is not taken into account.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<img align="none" border="0" height="457" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/faf9537638939c81bcea588fa/images/Pressed_e.max_blanks.gif" style="display: inline; height: 457px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 550px;" width="550" /><br />
</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
As these are placed upon the different underlying stump shades you can see how it changes the veneer shade considerably.<br />
<br />
This is more pronounced on the 13 but even shows on the 15 & 14 which had very little underlying shade variation<br />
</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<img align="none" border="0" height="382" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/faf9537638939c81bcea588fa/images/Painted_2.gif" style="border: 0px solid; display: inline; height: 382px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 550px;" width="550" /><br />
</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
So we can see how making these veneers without the information regarding the shade of the stumps we were restoring on this would have been a disaster!</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
Although it is possible to use a range of coloured cements that Ivoclar provide to correct this, we believe it is always better to have the correct information to begin with and provide restorations to the surgeon which have already compensated for the underlying stump shade to keep your inconvenience to a minimum.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
Case by <a href="http://www.drsehmi.co.uk/" style="color: maroon;">Dr Gurs Sehmi</a></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
We are very fortunate to work with surgical partners who already provided us with this type of essential information even before we had the ND shade guides to assist us.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
So in addition to providing us a clear photo with the desired shade tab included<br />
</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<img align="none" border="0" height="381" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/faf9537638939c81bcea588fa/images/Shade_tab.gif" style="border: 0px solid; display: inline; height: 381px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 550px;" width="550" /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
In addition Dr Sehmi provided a shade of the underlying stump shades, which was very important in this case as it had a veneer and crown on 2 centrals, with a marked difference in the underlying tooth shade.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<img align="none" border="0" height="382" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/faf9537638939c81bcea588fa/images/Shade_Tab_2.gif" style="border: 0px solid; display: inline; height: 382px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 550px;" width="550" /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
Dr. Sehmi used the shade guides he had available (the ND shade guides are not very well known, which in part is what prompted us to write this article) to relate the stump shades to us at the lab which we then used to paint the preps the correct colour, then by referring to a shade matching chart (<a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3248981/IPS%20e.max%20Press%20Instructions.pdf" style="color: maroon;">available on page 58 & 59 of this pdf</a>) we selected the appropriate e.max pellet to even up the e.max cores our ceramists would work on.<br />
<br />
As all our ceramic team work with an iPad at their side which streams all the images you provide us with to them via a central media storage system. They always use these images and any others you send us, and any other information provided during the build of your restorations to ensure that all the vital characterisation is included.<br />
<br />
We love getting these images to help us get the right results for you and your patients, so the more the better! </div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
By using all this information we managed to produce veneers which matched the smile even though we were compensating for different completely different shades underneath.</div>

<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
The patient was delighted with their new smile and we really appreciate it when you take the time to provide us with some of these crucial extra photographs that help us give your patients a great result.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
By providing good photographs and including the stump shades it ensures both the laboratory and surgery are working from the same reference points.<br />
<br />
Using this, even with really tricky underlying shades it is possible to get fantastic, natural looking e.max all ceramic restorations.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
But without this vital information even the slightest difference can throw the final shade value off by enough to make the restoration stand out and look out of place.</div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
By improving the communication and working to good photographs we can provide veneers like the ones you see below, which were used for BACD accreditation<br />

<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The vast majority of the public are not aware of the different standards of traceability and skill required by each nation that produces dental restorations but in the UK the GDC and MHRA have gone to great lengths to ensure patient safety by demanding high levels of traceability, compliance, professionalism and a commitment to quality of care to patients from their members.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Because all this regulation has been laid out by these bodies solely to protect patients, it seems a good idea to ensure your restorations are made by technicians that have to be registered with and answer to these same bodies?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However there are a minority of dental restorations that leave the UK and this protective framework to be made in countries which do not have the same standards or traceability requirements, often without the knowledge of the patient who will have the medical device fitted.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is not a simply case of trying to claim that work from one country is good and that from another is bad, but simply asking why the work is being sent offshore? If it is for economical reasons then is the patient fully aware of the option to have the work made within the protective framework setup by a skilled, GDC registered technician and what they are getting for their money?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Is the patient benefitting financially from the cheaper work being made by a lab in a country that is not regulated by the GDC or MHRA? or is the decision being made on their behalf and they are not being given the opportunity to make a choice between saving money or having the peace of mind knowing that their restorations were made by a skilled GDC registered professional?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The key to the whole issue is patient information and consent. If the patient is aware of all the information and still prefers to save money on their medical devices then that is fine, it's simply like the medical tourism which we have seen over the years.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However it's not maybe as obvious for that when many patients are unaware that their restorations were not made by a GDC registered technician within the protective system setup by the MHRA and GDC.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These people are unfortunately unwitting medical tourists who have not had the opportunity to be presented with the facts and weigh up the cost/benefits for themselves.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We live in a massive global economy and there is undoubtedly a benefit to using cheaper labour to keep production costs low, I think we are all aware that most of the technological devices etc. and many of the things we use every day are made this way?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But when we select medical devices and things we consume maybe we would make different choices if the fact were presented to us? The recent spate of health scares which have been reported in the media seems to indicate that some of the cost cutting in these areas has not been in the best interests of the consumers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Although we don't agree with medical tourism (especially after seeing some of the shocking results that we have had to fix along with our skilled surgeons when some of these patients have come back to them after things have gone wrong) I can see why some people choose the apparent cost savings up front. However, I don't think it can ever be right that a patient becomes an accidental medical tourist because they are having restorations fitted that they are unaware have been made in an unregulated country.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At <a href="http://www.ambridgeceramics.co.uk/products/" target="_blank">Ambridge Ceramics</a> we have ploughed hundreds of thousand of pounds into new technology and technician training to continually improve the service we provide to our surgeons and patients, along with submitting to further voluntary independent inspection by a 3rd party assessor to ensure we meet the DAMAS standard ensuring we meet the highest possible levels of traceability and conformity on all our technician training and materials used.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Joining The British Bite Mark was just another logical step in our commitment at Ambridge Ceramics to providing our surgeons with the highest level of quality, traceability, service and support available in the UK, we passionately believe that the standards and skills required to work as a GDC registered technician in UK labs are among the highest in the world and the work that comes out of our lab is also among the best seen anywhere in the world.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are a surgeon that uses a British Bite Mark laboratory then please don't waste the opportunity to promote this to your patients, it's a mark of the commitment to excellent quality and service you provide. It may also help to explain to the patient why your service could be slightly more expensive than the practice down the road. Are they offering the same exceptional levels of quality and care?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You are offering a superior level of service, quality and traceability, so why not make that clear to the patient? Be proud to stand out and be known for focussing on offering the very best quality and service and peace of mind that you possibly can.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>We have patient information booklets available that you can get by giving Sean a call on 01765 607347 or by contacting The Dental Laboratories Association directly by following <a href="http://www.dla.org.uk/?q=content/dla-office" target="_blank">this link</a></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So when the campaign hits full swing and more patients start to ask "What's in my mouth?" you will be able to point to The British Bite Mark and demonstrate your commitment to offering restorations that are made in a lab, governed by the MHRA and produced by a GDC registered professional dental technician.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Dental Laboratories Association have launched a dedicated <a href="http://dentallaboratory.org.uk/british-bite-mark/" target="_blank">British Bite Mark website</a> that surgeons can use to find a laboratory but more importantly they have ensures that patients can find a surgeon that can supply them with these <a href="http://dentallaboratory.org.uk/british-bite-mark/" target="_blank">British Bite Mark</a> restorations.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Please look at the site and ensure you are listed, this is something we have already started to do this for all clients of <a href="http://www.ambridgeceramics.co.uk/about/" target="_blank">Ambridge Ceramics</a></div>

The team at Ambridge Ceramics have been working together with our surgeons for over a year on the Pre launch for the official UK release of Dentsply Implants Atlantis porcelain fused to titanium screw retained crown units prior to their official launch at the end of 2014.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
We are proud to confirm that some of this work will be presented at the EAO in Rome from the 25th to the 27th September 2014</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
The cases selected had the planning, implant placement and final crown delivery by both Dr Tim Doswell and Dr Kostas Papadopoulos and the laboratory stages were carried out by Lee Nichols & Steve campbell in the CAD design, then milled by Atlantis in Sweden. The ceramic crowns were made by both Mark Ambridge and Jack Gleave who layered these with Creation Ti ceramic. The composite layering was carried out by Iain Baldwin using the Visiolign system from Bredent.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
These cases will be highlighting both the clinical and financial advantages of moving to these new implant crowns, regardless of which materia you choose to layer onto the biocompatible titanium crown abutment.</div>

It's a great opportunity for us as a British Bite Mark laboratory to show the leading work that the UK dental profession can produce using the latest CADCAM technology and using the skills and knowledge of an experienced team</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
This early involvement with Dentsply implants has meant that clients of Ambridge Ceramics have been the first in the UK to offer their patients the benefits and proven aesthetics of porcelain fused to metal crowns but with the benefit of the substructure being titanium, which is proven to have higher biocompatibility than cast alloys or chrome.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
As always, by using the latest CAD/CAM milling solutions we are able to ensure that not only are these crowns clinically superior to those previously available, they are also more cost effective, showing that when CADCAM technology is combined with the skill of the technicians in a British Bite Mark laboratory the results can be ideal for the patients.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
There is still some confusion over how these modern techniques are more cost effective so we've tried to break it down below to show a comparisson of the old cast techniques vs. the new CADCAM milled titanium structures offered by Dentsply Atlantis.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
The reason for the confusion is that traditional pricing is actually quite confusing. You need to combine all the lab costs, alloy and then the separate billing for the components needed to make the crown from the implant companies, and this bill will usually arrive separately from the work as it's ordered on your account and billed on the day the implant company sends it to the lab.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
This leaves your admin team with alot of separate bills to tie up. Here's an example of the true cost of an traditional screw retained implant crown.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<img alt="Traditional screw retained implant crown costs" src="http://www.ambridgeceramics.co.uk/images/uploads/Titanium_implant_crown_Cost.jpg" height="414" title="Traditional Screw Retained Implant Crown Costs" width="580" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
So when all the costs are combined, it's pretty expensive! And that is using either casting alloy or cast chrome, neither of which are as biocompatible as the titanium option Dentsply Atlantis crowns offer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
So here's how the costs break down on the new Atlantis titanium crowns</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<img alt="CADCAM Dentsply Atlantis Titanium Crown Ambridge" src="http://www.ambridgeceramics.co.uk/images/uploads/CADCAM_titanium_implant_Crown_Cost.jpg" height="414" title="CADCAM Dentsply Atlantis Titanium Crown Ambridge" width="580" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
And we were deliberately conservative on the calculations of alloy required for the conventional screw retained crown in order to offer as fair a comparison as possible. The truth is that many cases are actually larger and this impacts the case costs considerably, as shown below.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<img alt="Traditional screw retained crowns vs CADCAM costs" src="http://www.ambridgeceramics.co.uk/images/uploads/CADCAM_vs_traditional_Variable_cost.jpg" height="414" title="Traditional screw retained crowns vs CADCAM costs" width="580" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
In fact on average we save our clients around £140 per implant crown we restore using Dentsply Atlantis titanium Crowns, which can soon add up to alot of money saved a year. It's also a simple consistent cost regardless of your implant system, so you always know what the total cost of restoring your implants will be when quoting your patients.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<img alt="Atlantis Titanium crowns from Ambridge Save money" src="http://www.ambridgeceramics.co.uk/images/uploads/CADCAM_Atlantis_Titanium_Saves_Money.jpg" height="414" title="Atlantis Titanium crowns from Ambridge Save money" width="580" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
Now you may not necessarily want to spend that saved £7000 on a watch, it was just an example of where your wasted money could have gone. But the key point is that this cost saving per implant quickly adds up to a substantial sum of money, which is better in your bank than the implant manufacturer and alloys companies.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
As a British Bite Mark laboratory we are always pushing to ensure our clients get the very best in quality and service. Using the latest technology provided by proven industry leading partners we have continually shown that this doesn't have to cost you any more, in fact we have always brought a significant cost saving to our clients with all the CADCAM services we have developed at the lab.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
The titanium screw retained crowns will be officially available to the UK late 2014 but we will continue to offer this and many other unique solutions to our clients up until their official launch date.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have been working as a Beta lab providing these in advance of the official UK and European launch later this year.<br />
<br />
Together we have catalogued many of these cases and they will be released after the official UK launch later this year but can give sneak preview of some of our work here.<br />
<br />
One of the cases was this one we produced for Dr Papadopoulos where he had created the emergence profile that he wanted copying and captured that using a custom pickup which we could copy when producing the final crown.<br />
<br />

Conventional advantages of screw-retained implant supported crowns include more straight forward fitting procedure, no use of cement at fit, ease of retrievability and ability to use them in cases with short restorative space.<br /><br />New ceramic systems have overcome traditional issues with bonding to titanium and provide an outstanding aesthetic outcome.<br /><br />Another major advantage in the current economic climate is that this is one of the most cost effective restorative options available to date.<br /><br />The team at Ambridge Ceramics is very experienced with implant-supported restorations, and is always available for case discussion and laboratory based input which is always extremely helpful in treatment planning.<br /><br />I am very pleased with the results I get working with Ambridge Ceramics and can highly recommend them." </i></span></span></h4>

</div>
<div>
The results have been brilliant, with our ceramic team relishing the challenges of working with these new CAD/CAM solutions to produce some beautiful screw retained implant crowns with the advantage of being milled from a biocompatible material.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With this in mind we design the abutments to leave titanium against the tissues sub gingivally to ensure maximum biocompatibility and reduced risk of any tissue irritation by composite or ceramic material being deep sub gingival, which if not finished and polished correctly could attract plaque and lead to future complications.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By using using the Atlantis custom milled titanium abutments we can continue to ensure the quality and reassurance that comes from the leading worldwide provider of milled custom abutments, along with a comprehensive warranty covering both the abutment and fixture that it is restored upon.<br />
<br />
In addition to the clinical benefits there is a significant cost saving to using these clinically superior crowns, for example you could be wasting well over £100 per fixture compared to a traditional cast screw retained crown, as shown below.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By that I mean the TRUE cost, both components and lab bills?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On our many Roadshow tours of the UK it was always surprising to see how many surgeons were wasting money and getting clinically inferior results.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So today I am going to share the slides form a short presentation we give that explains exactly how many surgeons are losing money without realising it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How much does bad advice and support on restoring dental implants cost you?</div>

We use a true average costs which includes the cost of the components from the implant supplier and an average lab cost.</div>

So on a like for like comparison of a cement retained implant option the clinically superior Atlantis custom titanium abutment not only avoids an compromise as it is completely custom designed for each patient. It also saves you £42.21. A win/win.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But that doesn't get us to our £5995 over 50 implants does it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To see where the real genius of using Atlantis titanium custom abutments comes in we need to look at the latest solution.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ceramic bonded to titanium screw retained implant crowns from Ambridge Ceramics</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even with the cost saving of an Atlantis abutment over a stock we still have the cost of a crown on top to finish the restoration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On average the cost of a bonded implant crown or all inclusive cost of a traditional cast screw retained crown including components and alloy is anywhere from £100 - £200</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqUlSosezcUl6ioXc0s_8WiBoJHybeGd9I8c0ZR7P9LqO9QRE5nmpE4pnRjzyDH1Zr1Bhb1hUcq-chdrXmqyg-XXq7oJpeoHeu3nPEa6fsPJMyFVWimkp0Mnh0_jKnXWy8z1ZEEw4YlrQ/s1600/AC+CAD+CAM+Screw+Retained+cost.006.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="CADCAM titanium screw retained implant crown Ambridge Ceramics" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqUlSosezcUl6ioXc0s_8WiBoJHybeGd9I8c0ZR7P9LqO9QRE5nmpE4pnRjzyDH1Zr1Bhb1hUcq-chdrXmqyg-XXq7oJpeoHeu3nPEa6fsPJMyFVWimkp0Mnh0_jKnXWy8z1ZEEw4YlrQ/s1600/AC+CAD+CAM+Screw+Retained+cost.006.png" height="225" title="CADCAM titanium screw retained implant crown Ambridge Ceramics" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So if we looked at an atlantis abutment at £279.99 plus the cost of a crown at £150 we get a total of £429.99</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Our all inclusive titanium screw retained crown will save you £120 for every implant restored.</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have the biological benefit of these being titanium, a material we know is well accepted by the body.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that is simply how we get to this fact. If you are being badly advised and supported then it is costing you enough over 50 implant restorations to add up to the cost of a brand new supermini car.</div>

<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US">On Friday we were in London for the Official UK launch of the Astra EV implant system! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">This was completely new for most of those attending the exclusive event in London, but for almost a year now we have been secretly working
with Dr Mark Willings and Dentsply in restoring the EV implants that he has
been working with as part of the Ambassador program.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #575656; font-family: CenturyGothic; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">The design philosophy of ASTRA TECH Implant System</span><sup style="background-color: white; color: #575656; font-family: CenturyGothic; line-height: 16px;">™</sup><span style="background-color: white; color: #575656; font-family: CenturyGothic; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"> EV is based on the natural dentition utilizing a site-specific, crown-down approach supported by an intuitive surgical protocol and a simple prosthetic workflow.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The EV system is an evolution of the
already very successful Astra implant system, and now incorporates new design
features that improve upon an already class leading and clinically proven implant system.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">From a laboratory point of view there is nothing tricky about switching to this system but there are
some nice touches, such as a unique index system that will only allow custom
made abutments to seat in one position. This is also obviously a huge benefit
for the surgeon as they don't have to worry about them seating in one of several possible positions as we do with existing implant systems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">If anything Dentsply have managed to simply
improve the user friendly appeal of the already successful Astra system, and build upon the strength and
clinically proven results they already provide with the existing implant and restorative range.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It’s been really difficult for us to keep
this under our hat as we have naturally been very excited and keen to share the work we have done with the EV implant system. The whole team are honoured to be
included in the Ambassador phase of this implant system’s worldwide pre launch roll out and as today is the official launch, we can finally share it with you (although we're not going to share too many details on the systems specifics, we'll leave that to Dentsply)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Here are a few of the many cases we have
restored under prescription and guidance of Dr Mark Willings, who was selected
from a handful of surgeons worldwide to work with the EV implant system during the pre launch phase.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h4>
<span lang="EN-US">CASES</span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It’s obviously a huge honour to be trusted
to work on a confidential project such as this one, especially as we have had early access to some of the nice touches that this system brings to the lab
when restoring implants, but more importantly for us was the opportunity to feedback on the experience from the lab.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">As you would expect we have only used the
very best restorative solutions and avoided all potential compromise when dealing with these new EV cases. This has been
the Atlantis system for single units and Atlantis ISUS system for multiple unit
cases (which is our protocol on all Dentsply implant systems)</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US">The requirement for these cases was that they should be screw retained crowns or bridges, although we do have 1 cement retained case and a couple that were screw retained using lateral fixing screws.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US">Here is a sneak preview of some selected shots that have been taken from the large variety of cases that Dr Willings presented at The Royal College of Physicians on Friday. We will also have the final fitted pictures to show after Mark has presented them at the launch today. For now we have the images of the lab work we produced on the new system.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span>

This case was a full arch that was scanned and designed from an immediate denture made by Mark Price, which was later converted to an immediate fixed restoration during the patients transition from temporary denture and guide to our final restoration. An effective way of working back from great prosthetic planning, which perfectly matches the EV crown down philosophy.</div>

I know we've only shared a select few images and cases from all the work we have done here, but I wanted to keep this as brief as possible and just share the experiences and benefits we have had using the new EV system.

<span lang="EN-US">SUMMARY FROM A LAB</span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many of the modifications made in the EV system are just nice little adjustments that make the system very easy and predictable to work with and we found no issues at all in the cases we restored.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The biggest noticeable change is a completely new index system that moves from a hex to a spline and allows for easy seating and positive single position only engagement of all Atlantis CAD/CAM restorations, as shown in the image below</div>

All the components are now colour coded, from pickups and analogues right through to screws, which makes it easy to quickly visually verify you are using the correct components for the EV implant system.

<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Why talk about pickup components in a lab view? Here's why.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>One handed self guiding pickup component which will not screw down until correctly engaged</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How many times have you cast a model, made a beautiful CAD abutment and crown only to be informed that they were unable to fit it? After casting a new model with a new fixture pickup and comparing with the old cast and impression we find that the rotation and height differ, telling us the initial pickup was not correctly seated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We're not criticising the surgeons here, traditional implant pickup components are not as user friendly as the EV system and therefore allow for technical errors, especial when having to work in a limited space and with what may not be the most co operative patient.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Astra Tech EV System has a unique new patented pickup system that means the pickup component is self guiding and will only allow engagement and screw down when it is in the correct position. No more inaccurate implant pickups!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Again initially this doesn't seem like such a big problem, but from much experience we know of several cases where the surgeon had developed a soft tissue site and the pickup component was so big that all we saw was a big round hole where the nice anatomical tissue site should have been. In effect we had a beautiful replication of a big round pickup cylinder and not the custom tissue site we wanted.</div>

With the Astra Tech EV system they have pickup components that allow for the capture of the cost tissue architecture, and although these are slim when you look at the design of the body and all the facets it incorporates we see that they have actually managed to produce a very retentive surface with a large overall surface area to ensure stability within the impression.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the vast majority of our abutments are CAD/CAM custom abutments it makes sense that we contour this exactly to the soft tissue architecture that the surgeons have worked so hard to develop, leading to a superior final result for us all.</div>

As shown the reason we are a big fan of the healing abutments is that Dentsply have managed to address the issues that cause technical difficulty or lead to false information on some of the other implant systems.</div>

This system has a wide range of different healing abutments that are ovoid, round and triangular, ensuring that the surgeon can develop the soft tissue site in a wider range of options that more naturally mimic tooth root shapes than just a standard round pickup.</div>

The reason that we as a lab are so excited and have come to love this system so much is the simple fact that most of the improvements incorporated into this system are technically driven. Therefore designed to eliminate mistakes or mis information that can cause a case we've worked so hard on to either not be fitted or not have the result we would have wanted because the information in the impression was inaccurate in some way, either implant or soft tissue site.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Astra Tech stated that this was a crown down philosophy driven design change and they are absolutely good to their word. We've greatly enjoyed working with this system for a year and look forward to seeing many more come into the lab.</div>

Dr Michael Norton who was heavily involved in the design changes for the new system, so it was great to hear from him first hand all the new design considerations and technical reasons for the improvements. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He stressed that the BioManagement complex that had made the existing OsseoSpeed such a success had not been changes, all the modifications were technical ones to ensure improved restorative procedure and predictability. Which was obvious from our experienced with the system</div>

After a break we were then presented with some cement lovely retained restorations of Atlantis abutments by Dr Stephen Jacobs, who also went into great detail regarding the pickup components and various implant sizes, including the benefits of a more flexible site specific approach that the EV system brings. As you'd expect this presentation was very detailed, showing some lovely work which well received by those attending.</div>

Thank you to the whole lab team who have kept this quiet for so long and worked so hard on all stages of the many cases we have restored over the last year. There were many more ceramic cases by Marc Tocher and Rachelle Webb that we have not shown, along with James Kelly, Ollie Ambridge & Andrew McAuley who were involved in all the CAD and preparation stages for these cases. The whole team behind the scenes that makes it possible for us to take the time to work on and catalogue all the images for a big projects like this, it truly is a team effort. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally we'd also like to thank Dr Willings and Dentsply for choosing us to work with them on a project this big and exciting and also to everyone attending the event who were so complimentary regarding the quality of the cases we were showing.</div>

We recently realised that five years ago we were at Altitude in London for the official launch of the Astra Atlantis system, which has gone on to revolutionise and dominate the CAD/CAM restorative market on all the major implant systems. Another great EVolution was launched here, and maybe this will go on to do the same for the surgical implant side?</div>

Due to a number of Beta programs we are currently running with our partners that we find ourselves with lots of secrets to keep.<br />
<br />
Which is why it's a great relief to finally be able to talk about the Atlantis titanium crown abutments that we have been working on in the lab in Beta trials with Atlantis abutments and Dentsply implants.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
For many years there has been a struggle to get a good aesthetic result and stable bond to titanium which is why most labs have tended to stay with the bonding alloys or chrome which we know well and avoid the potential for aesthetic issues that early titanium bonding systems could produce.<br />
<br />
However, when it comes to implants there is undoubtedly an advantage to using titanium as the substructure materials for our bonded crowns and, during our in house testing we have been getting fantastic results with the Duceram Kiss porcelain which has been specially developed for fusing to titanium which ensures beautiful aesthetics and a strong stable bond.<br />
<br />
Atlantis abutments, which are supplied by Dentsply implants have up until now only been available as a crown abutment (meaning a nucleus design that is intended to have ceramic layered and fired directly onto it, rather than a cement retained crown) in zirconia material, which although a good materials is not what we might want in certain restorative situations.<br />
<br />
Kiss ceramic was not the only system we were trialling on on these cases (although the results with this have been very impressive) we also have another system as we want to really test these new abutments and see if we can generate any problems. We will share more on the other ceramic systems on the many implant cases that our surgeons are now restoring using the titanium crown abutment.<br />
<br />
<b>Maximum strength & biocompatibility</b><br />
<br />
For us this is a very exciting day, we now are able to offer our surgeons the opportunity to use the most biocompatible material available when restoring their implants, with the confidence of a great aesthetic result and bond strength as our tests have so far shown no negative outcomes.<br />
<br />
<b>This is how the new atlantis titanium crown abutment comes back to the lab.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
You can see on the case that this is indeed a milled Atlantis titanium crown abutment.<br />

<b>Cost efficient</b><br />
<br />
The other great news is that we can offer the new titanium bonded screw retained crowns at the same cost as our screw retained chrome units, which on average also save the surgeon £80 compared to traditional cast gold screw retained crowns, and even more when compared to cement retained implant solutions.<br />
<br />
<b>No compromise</b><br />
<br />
Once again we are managing to utilise CAD/CAM to deliver a restoration that is of a higher quality and biocompatibility than the traditional cast gold options, and also offer a significant cost saving purely on the efficiency and consistency that CAD/CAM technology offers us. This new option to our clients ties in perfectly with our belief in delivering the widest range of excellent restorative solutions and doing all we can to eliminate compromise.<br />
<br />
<b>No Cement to clear at fit</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
As the ceramic is fired directly to the abutment you have a one piece implant crown solution where you screw down the crown and then fill the access hole with composite, which also makes it easier to retrieve the crown or get to the screw should you ever need to.<br />

<br />
Over the years we have been involved in many Beta trials with some of the worlds biggest dental companies, which has given us a great insight into some of the benefits and potential weak points in some of the current materials and systems available today. The companies that we work on the Beta testing with are looking to overcome any potential weak points they see and improve the restorative options by heavily investing in research, and testing using the latest materials and technology.<br />
<br />
For us as a laboratory one of the biggest leaps forward was definitely the use of CAD/CAM systems such as Atlantis and Isus to produce our titanium, chrome and zirconia sub structures (and even whole crowns in some case) as this allowed us to move away from some of the inconsistency, inaccuracy and wasted expense that the old traditional wax and cast or manual milling methods had.<br />
<br />
But recently we have seen a very exciting shift away from focussing on the machining of the custom component parts and sub structures, and a focus on the materials which we use to deliver the final prosthesis to our patients.<br />
<br />
<b>What's wrong with what we have?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Realistically with many cases there's absolutely nothing wrong with the Porcelain, composite or acrylics we have successfully used for many years to restore our implant cases,<b> but </b>if we have an implant restoration on a posterior tooth where the patient has shown a history of destroying restorations then maybe we can look to the new hybrid materials that are now available? These mix the higher aesthetics we want from ceramics with the qualities that we would ideally want on an implant restoration such as shock absorbency and chip resistance.<br />
<br />
<b>Shock absorbency</b><br />
<br />
One of the main characteristics of new Hybrid ceramics like Vita Enamic or 3M ultimate is the fact that they actually absorb shock from the opposing dentition.<br />
<br />
<b>Chip resistance</b><br />
<br />
Due to the fact that these materials are produced using CAD/CAM technology, they are a monolithic structure which greatly reduces the risk of delamination, further more these new engineered materials have been specifically designed to prevent crack propagation as <a href="http://vident.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Enamic-Concept-Brochure.pdf" target="_blank">shown in this pdf</a><br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>What does this mean for us?</b></h3>
Thanks to our knowledge of CAD/CAM and depth of experience in using this with the new materials such as Visio.lign (which we use on full arch cases) and Vita Enamic we have been able to produce a screw retained CAD/CAM Hybrid Ceramic crown that offers the benefits mentioned above.<br />
<br />
Below is a Vita enamic screw retained crown which has been milled and is awaiting final staining.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBqUwwyBnFHA4JsTb4AQ3awaTRIynd3l6se9Rzz3-iWFM657iCwCV0w5gHbGCrOj4Ftx4IPgXSLQd_hXUNX6QHpgswsgeODhES_nLJi71XRWCGV440XZAbRnGsC8Baw7RCgo-rt0AmZ6c/s1600/Enamic+Screw+Retained.006.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBqUwwyBnFHA4JsTb4AQ3awaTRIynd3l6se9Rzz3-iWFM657iCwCV0w5gHbGCrOj4Ftx4IPgXSLQd_hXUNX6QHpgswsgeODhES_nLJi71XRWCGV440XZAbRnGsC8Baw7RCgo-rt0AmZ6c/s400/Enamic+Screw+Retained.006.png" height="285" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Further to being an ideal posterior restoration, this crown is also vastly more cost effective than a traditional screw retained ceramic layered implant crown (although if you do prefer ceramic for the very best aesthetics, we can now produce ceramic bonded to titanium implant crowns for maximum biocompatibility)<br />
<br />
Thanks to our partnership with Atlantis we are also able to offer a restoration that has a custom titanium contour against the tissue and then transitions to these new Hybrid Ceramics in the rest of the screw retained crown restoration, think of it as a custom link abutment +<br />
<br />
This is not a one size fits all solution, in fact we still produce many porcelain bonded screw retained units where aesthetics are absolutely critical, but it's always great to have another solution that we can mix and match into our restorative toolkit when we are looking at the needs of our patients.<br />
<br />
We have used monolithic crowns on cement retained restorations for many years, starting initially with full zirconia and then moving on to the new Hybrid Ceramics such as Vita Enamic purely because of the improvements in aesthetics and functionality they offer.<br />
<br />
No patient you see is exactly the same, which is why we want to ensure we have the widest range of restorative solutions available to match their specific restorative requirements.<br />
<br />
These materials can be used for cement retained, screw retained or even angle corrected screw retained implant cases.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">By having this exact duplicate (milled from titanium also, which means either abutment can be fitted in the mouth) you can choose to design your abutment from an impresssion taken immediately at implant placement, and design the optimal soft tissue contour you wish to have.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">So when the implant is ready to uncover, instead of fitting a healing abutment you place the Atlantis CAD/CAM abutment with a temp crown that has been designed to be very light in occlusion.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">You then keep the original model and simply tell the lab to proceed to making the final crown (without having to take any more implant impressions) once you have reviewed the soft tissue healing weeks later.</span></span></div>

<br />
To make it quick and easy we simply take a picture that the surgeon has provided of the case they have aesthetic concerns over and then use this to do a quick mock up of how the final teeth may look if the patient decides they just want to have the implant placement without any grafting or GBR.<br />
<br />
At the very least it allows the patient to clearly visualise the potential aesthetic compromise that may occur if they choose not to have the Grafting or GBR<br />
<br />
Of course none of these are guaranteed outcomes and in fact we are careful to show that the false tissue may in fact not be a perfect match, but it does offer a clear visual indicator of where we are likely to end up if the patient feels that Grafting or GBR are not right for them.<br />
<br />
We have found that by working together with our surgeons and offering this service at the very beginning that the patients are much better informed and able to make a choice based on clear visual information.<br />
<br />
In this way we all hope to avoid a situation where the patient does not really understand just what we mean when we say they may end up with 'longer looking teeth' or a false tissue that attempts to make the proportion of the teeth look right, but may not be a perfect match to the pink tissue for a number or reasons, particularly in short span anterior cases.<br />
<br />
We are always looking for ways to assist our surgeons and ensure that everyone is satisfied with the end result, this Digital Smile Design service is just another of the useful tools that we offer to our partners in order to ensure we make their management of cases simple and predicable, even on a case like this where the patient was not intending to have any other work done to the existing teeth.<br />

<br />
We're incredibly proud of the team for taking on the challenge of The Spartan Race Yorkshire 2013.<br />
<br />
It's a fun challenge and it was fantastic to see the team soak it all up and come out of the other side raring for more.<br />
<br />
We always knew we had a great team but the effort and support they showed to each other on this challenge really showed what a great team they are,<br />
<br />
Our friend Sarah Glover was there as an Ambridge Ceramics Spartan Racer showing that anything a technician can do, a dentist can match. Not only did Sarah get the finishers medal & Spartan T Shirt, she was luck enough to leave with an exclusive Ambridge Ceramics Spartan Racer Vest!<br />
<br />
So, what was it like? We've got a few snapshots from the day to help tell the story<br />
<br />
For many of these pictures we must thank Richard Egan, Melissa Duncan, Adam Glassford and anyone else who helped us capture some fantastic memories of our fun in the mud.<br />
<br />
Here was the team before the start, all ready and raring to go<br />
<br />

When we got to the start we were given a little warm up from this Spartan, after his rousing speech there was no stopping us, right up until the first of the 3 very steep hills that is....<br />

There were a few nasty sprains, twists and cuts on the day though, We think Mark Ambridge wins with this beauty (the split eyebrow might just help add to the winner)<br />

We were incredibly fortunate that one of our oldest friends is not only a very skilled technician over at Egan Dental Laboratory, he's also a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and decided to pop along and capture a few images for us, which is why we have these excellent pictures that captured the moment so well from the day.</div>

Not only is Tim a very skilled implant surgeon, he's now </span><span style="color: grey; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">official and Iron Man.</span></span></h2>
<span style="background-color: white; color: grey; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">Tim managed to complete the challenge in a very respectable 15hrs 32 mins which is a great achievement in itself, but it's also worth noting that the one in Wales is commonly acknowledge</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: grey; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">d as the hardest Iron man to do.<br /><br />If you've never heard of an Iron Man, it's a 2.4 mile open water swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride & finally a Marathon, yes the full 26.2 miles!<br /><br />Any of these alone is quite a challenge, but to do them all in succession on the same day Is a superhuman effort and the money he raised for Alder Hey children's hospital was certainly hard earned.<br /><br />The full timing of Tims effort is on the attached picture and there's still time to make a donation to his chosen charity if you missed the chance beforehand.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.justgiving.com%2FTim-Doswell-ironman&h=wAQHsGDh3&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.justgiving.com/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>Tim-Doswell-ironman</a></span><br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
We'll be updating with more Atlantis, Atlantis Isus & ADi lecture dates in the near future.<br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The problem for laboratories is that most ceramic pinks are very difficult to make look natural and match the patients tissue tone.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://www.moderndentistrymedia.com/may_june2010/coachman.pdf">which you can see by following this link</a>) 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

This is proving to be a very popular implant solution for the problem of access holes that would normally emerge in the aesthetic zone.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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<br />
<br />
Beautiful work as always by Iain.<br />
