I industry_ Dentsply Sirona Implants A patient-centric approach to restorative implant treatment Author_Dentsply Sirona Implants Staff _It’s all the rage and everywhere you look these days, the focus is on customized solutions for each individual dental patient. One key driver of this trend are the patients themselves; as information becomes more readily accessible, patients are becoming better informed and more educated on the level of function and esthetics that can be achieved with implant therapy. Another factor driving the trend toward individual- ized patient care is the ongoing development and advancements in technology that allow clinicians to deliver patient-specific solutions in a simpler, faster and more predictable way. Atlantis patient-specific solutions (Dentsply Sirona Implants; Waltham, Mass.) are a perfect ex- ample of the innovation and technology available, according to the company. The digital workflow behind the design and manufacture of Atlantis implant-supported abutments and suprastructures, from impression taking to the delivery of the final restoration, allows for precise and esthetic outcomes based on the patient’s natural tooth shape.

Kobren, DDS (White Plains, N.Y.). “They are compatible with nearly every significant implant system; providing prosthetic conveni- ence, versatility, soft-tissue support, stability and ideal margin placement for achieving optimum esthetics and allowing for complete cement removal. “The digital workflow that allows practi- tioner input and modification is unique and invaluable. Relying on the foundation of ex- perience and commitment behind the Atlantis solution, I am confident in the treatment I provide in the rapidly changing environment of CAD/CAM dentistry.” From a clinical practice perspective, adopting technology and providing advanced treatment of care is a necessary step to stay competitive. In- corporating a patient-specific solution, such as Atlantis, gives you that differentiating edge, while increasing overall efficiency of your implant treatment workflow and overall prac- tice growth from higher patient satisfaction, according to Dentsply Sirona Implants._ 16 I implants 4_2017
