ATLANTIS ISUS™ implant suprastructures ATLANTIS ISUS™, the unique, patient-specific, CAD/CAM implant suprastructures, welcomes the 2in1 product into the family of digital open solutions. This double construction for removable prostheses has a precise conical friction fit, with a design based on the tooth set-up.

ATLANTIS™ Abutments In the area of lab-based scanning, the new connectivity with 3Shape scanners allows users worldwide to quickly and easily transfer digital scan information of patient oral geometry to the ATLANTIS™ design and manufacturing facilities.

ANKYLOS® implant length 6.6 mm Implant length 6.6 mm is now available for the ANKYLOS® Implant System. The shorter implant allows for better use of existing bone and may reduce the need for bone augmentation.

XiVE® Platform-Switch concept Platform-switching is an approved treatment method to achieve improved preservation of crestal bone levels. Numerous clinical studies confirmed that a healthy soft tissue will be achieved by using diameter-reduced abutments. This concept is now available for XiVE®.

WeldOne™ concept The new treatment concept WeldOne™, supporting immediate loading solutions, is announced. The technology is available for ANKYLOS® and XiVE® implant systems, and enables dental professionals to create temporary as well as durable restorations, reinforced by titanium frameworks welded directly in the mouth.

SimPlant® GO / SimPlant® 15 With SimPlant® GO software for guided implant surgery, planning is easy and fast, and then transferred directly into a fully predictable surgery. The new software SimPlant® 15 further increases the predictability for the surgical procedure and prosthetic restoration.
