The OsseoSpeed TX Profile is a patented implant, specifically designed for sloped ridge situations, which allows clinicians to achieve 360º bone preservation around the implant, regardless of the position in the mouth.

Astra Tech said Atlantis Abutments are designed and fabricated using Atlantis VAD (Virtual Abutment Design) software, a patented process that combines 3D optical scanning, latest software and manufacturing methods to deliver patient-specific abutments that eliminates the need for hand modification.

Atlantis Abutments are available for all major implant systems such as Astra Tech, Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Biomet 3i and Zimmer Dental.

Additional interfaces for Atlantis Abutments are being developed for launch in 2011.

Sweden-based Astra Tech, a company in the Astra Zeneca group, is a provider of dental, surgical and urological products, services and support.
