Astra Tech, a market leader in the field of implant dentistry, announces their strategic alliance with Dental Wings, the Canadian-based provider of CAD/CAM solutions with specialized development of 3D scanners, beginning in early 2010. As a result, Dental Wings users worldwide will have the ability to remotely transfer scans to Astra Tech’s design and manufacturing centers for the production of Atlantis™ patient-specific abutments for all major implant systems.
Astra Tech challenges the current standard in marginal bone maintenance and sets a new standard implying only 0.3 mm of bone loss for a successful implant. Also, Astra Tech launches Atlantis™, a unique method of producing patient-specific abutments based on the appearance of the final tooth, in Europe.
“Follow-up research among patients consistently shows a marginal bone level reduction of just 0.4 mm or less for Astra Tech dental implants, a performance indicator at least three times superior to the industry norm. The findings involve hundreds of individual cases and are remarkable in their consistency,” says Lyndon Cooper, Professor of Dentistry in the Department of Prosthodontics at the University of North Carolina, who has performed one of the studies.
