The Swedish medical device company Astra Tech AB, a subsidiary of AstraZeneca, is introducing the Atlantis solution for all major implant systems. Atlantis increases productivity and cost efficiency in the dental laboratory as the lab can deliver high quality, customised abutments with less time and effort and can also be used for routine cases to ensure a perfect fit.

With the advanced patented Atlantis VAD (Virtual Abutment Design) software, the abutments are uniquely designed from the final tooth shape. The need for chairside modification is eliminated as each abutment is made to be anatomically correct and specific to the space it will fit.

The Atlantis solution works with titanium, gold shaded titanium and zirconia materials and Astra Tech have also started cooperating with 3M ESPE for digital scanning with the Lava Scan ST System. With this new scanning option, laboratories using the Lava Scan ST System can place orders without having to send a model to Astra Tech.
