Astra Tech will yet again welcome 3000 dental professionals from all over the world to the Astra Tech World Congress. This time the congress will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden – the home of Astra Tech and where the journey of osseointegration began.

Mölndal, Sverige (15. mars 2010). Astra Tech, som ledende leverandør av omfattende løsninger for dental implantatbehandling, har gleden av å tilby sine europeiske og australske kunder et Atlantis™-distanseutvalg som nå også omfatter implantatene NobelActive™ NP 3.5, RP 4.3 og 5.0.
Astra Tech leverer pasientspesifikke distanser i fire materialutførelser: titan, gullfarget titan, hvit og farget zirconia.
Med Atlantis-distansene for NobelActive™-implantater styrker Astra Tech sin ledende posisjon på området for pasientspesifikke distanser til alle store implantatsystemer. Denne nyheten er den siste i en serie Atlantis-distanser som utvikles for nye plattformer, som Straumann™ Bone Level-implantatene. Astra Tech planlegger å lansere ytterligere plattformer og materialutvalg for den pasientspesifikke Atlantis™-løsningen i 2010.

“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.

3M ESPE and Astra Tech AB, a leader and innovator in the dental implant industry, announce a global partnership to provide Astra Tech’s Atlantis™ patient-specific abutments to 3M ESPE Lava™ customers. The two companies have developed an interface which will enable the Lava™ Scan ST Design System to communicate directly with Astra Tech’s Atlantis technology.
