Mölndal, Sweden, October, 2010 -- Astra Tech introduces a unique warranty for Atlantis™

cover both the abutment and the implant if another implant supplier does not honor their
warranty due to the use of an Atlantis abutment.

New interfaces
Dentsply Friadent is the latest manufacturer to be added to the rapidly expanding Atlantis
patient-specific abutment assortment. Atlantis abutments are already available for major
implant systems such as Astra Tech, Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Biomet 3i and Zimmer
Dental.
These and future implant interfaces will further secure Astra Tech’s leadership position in
providing patient-specific abutments for all major implant systems.
Atlantis™ patient-specific abutments
Atlantis is the best solution for cement-retained implant prosthetics. Utilizing the unique
Atlantis VAD™ (Virtual Abutment Design) software, the patient-specific abutments are
individually designed from the final tooth shape, resulting in an abutment with outstanding
function and esthetics. Atlantis abutments are available in titanium, gold-shaded titanium
and two shades of zirconia.
Atlantis™ and Atlantis VAD™ are trademarks of Astra Tech. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
