n Dentatus announces the introduc- tion of Elypse® — the newest platform available for the ANEW® Narrow Body Implant System — at this year’s Greater New York Dental Meeting. ANEW implants provide gold- standard treatment options for many patients. In areas of limited bone width,mesial-distalspaceorconverg- ing roots, ANEW is often an ideal solu- tion because of its narrow diameters of1.8mm,2.2mm,2.4mmand2.8mm and varying thread lengths. WiththeintroductionoftheElypse platform, ANEW can now be used for removable prostheses with the DentureComfort™ technology—origi- nally utilized with Dentatus’ ATLAS Narrow Body Implant System. The newElypseplatformallowsclinicians to immediately retrofit a patient’s lower dentures with a future option ofconversiontoafixedrestoration,all the while maintaining a soft-silicone interface between a patient’s ridge and denture for enhanced comfort and retention. ANEW Narrow Body Implant sys- tem is a complement to other implant systems, enabling practitioners to offer more restorative options with one narrow body implant system. Every practitioner placing implants should consider including ANEW in his or her armamentarium so all patients might take advantage of the benefits that implants afford. Nearly 25 percent of patients who comeinforimplanttreatmentwillnot have enough bone to place a conven- tional diameter implant. ANEWImplantsshouldalsobecon- sidered when financial constraints might delay or prevent treatment. According to the company, for many periodontists, it is the implant of choice for complex cases where pro- visionalization allows for measured, expert treatment planning. ANEW Implants can be placed in interdental spaces as narrow as 3.5 mm without the need for bone augmentation or orthodontic inter- ventions. With ANEW Implants, total time in treatment is reduced, so many more patients can experience the quality of life that implantology offers. ANEW is the only narrow-body implant with a screw-retained pros- thetic system and with more than 10 years of clinical research to sup- port safe and reliable long-term use. ANEW’s prosthetic components pro- vide patients with cosmetic chairside restorations at the time of placement so they never have to go without teeth. Prosthetic platforms and screw- caps are used to create temporary restorations, providing patients with immediate function and esthetic results. A variety of platforms are available and standardized in size to reduce necessary inventory levels. The passive assembly and retriev- ability of the screwcap provides easy access to the soft tissue to train the papilla, eliminating the “black tri- angle.” After the osseointegration proc- ess, a laboratory customized resto- ration can be constructed with the Castable platform. Now, with the newly introduced Elypse platform, ANEW Implants offer more versatility with screw- retained prosthetics. According to Dentatus, they are an ideal addition in the armamentarium of any clini- cian who routinely places implants andwho,onoccasion,mustfindsound and tested alternative solutions to traditional implant protocols. The recommended surgical tech- niques allow for minimally invasive flapless placement and immediate loading.
