Proper alignment of Atlantis abutment screws is crucial in dental implantology to ensure the stability and longevity of dental restorations. Misalignment can lead to complications such as screw loosening, restoration failure, and patient discomfort. This article will guide you through the steps and tools necessary to achieve precise alignment of Atlantis abutment screws.
Atlantis abutments are designed using advanced CAD/CAM technology, allowing for customized fit and emergence profiles that mimic natural teeth. These abutments are compatible with major implant systems and are available in materials like titanium and gold-shaded titanium.
The Atlantis abutment is crafted from a single block of titanium, allowing for precise customization to match the crown preparation of a natural tooth. This customization ensures a natural, cosmetic appearance and facilitates the incorporation of screw access into the design.
Atlantis Abutment Materials:
- Titanium: Known for its biocompatibility and strength.
- Gold-Shaded Titanium: Offers aesthetic benefits with a thin gold layer.
The Atlantis Abutment Insertion Guide is a crucial tool for ensuring accurate placement and alignment of the abutment. This guide is 3D-printed and uses adjacent teeth as an index to secure the abutment at the correct angle and orientation.
1. Place the Abutment in the Guide: Align the abutment with the guide, ensuring it matches the designed emergence profile.
2. Seat the Guide: Use the neighboring teeth as a reference to position the guide accurately.
3. Insert and Tighten the Screw: Hold the guide in place and insert the abutment screw with light finger force. Remove the guide and secure the abutment to the implant with the recommended torque.
For implants placed at angles that complicate screw access, the Atlantis Angled Screw Access Abutment provides a solution. This abutment features an additional access channel for the screwdriver, allowing for angled screw placement without altering the screw channel itself.
After initial screw tightening with finger force, use a torque wrench to achieve the recommended torque level. This ensures the abutment is securely fastened to the implant without over-tightening, which can damage the screw or implant.
- Clinical Verification: Confirm proper seating and alignment clinically or with radiographs if necessary.
- Adjustments: Make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal occlusal relations and contact with adjacent teeth.
In cases where implants are placed at angles, the Atlantis CustomBase solution with angulated screw access offers a streamlined approach. This involves cementing the abutment and crown extra-orally, ensuring the screw is protected during cementation and remains captive within the assembly.
For restorations requiring screw access, the design process involves creating a precise channel to accommodate the screwdriver. This can be achieved using CAD/CAM software, where the screw access location is visualized and adjusted to match the angulation of the implant.
In clinical practice, Atlantis abutments have been successfully used in various scenarios, including cases where implants are placed at non-ideal angles. By leveraging digital workflows and precise abutment design, clinicians can achieve optimal outcomes even in challenging anatomical situations.
Atlantis abutments are designed to be compatible with all major implant systems, including Astra ST implants. This compatibility allows clinicians to utilize Atlantis abutments across a wide range of cases, simplifying treatment protocols and enhancing esthetic results[4].
The Atlantis CustomBase solution is a patient-specific, two-piece screw-retained restoration system. It features a customized emergence profile for both the abutment and crown, providing flexibility in material choice (titanium or gold-shaded titanium) and compatibility with all major implant systems[1].
The use of Atlantis abutments and their associated tools can significantly reduce chair time by streamlining the restorative process. This efficiency, combined with the aesthetic benefits of customized abutments, enhances the overall patient experience[1][4].
Ensuring proper alignment of Atlantis abutment screws is vital for the success of dental implant restorations. By utilizing tools like the Atlantis Abutment Insertion Guide, angulated screw access abutments, and precise torque control, clinicians can minimize complications and enhance patient outcomes.
The Atlantis Abutment Insertion Guide is designed to ensure accurate placement and alignment of the abutment, reducing chairtime and improving handling procedures.
For angled implants, use the Atlantis Angled Screw Access Abutment, which allows for screw placement at an angle without altering the screw channel.
Atlantis abutments are available in titanium and gold-shaded titanium.
Using the specific Atlantis abutment screw ensures compatibility and optimal torque performance, reducing the risk of mechanical failure.
Use a torque wrench to achieve the recommended torque level, typically around 25 Ncm, depending on the implant system.
