Achieving anatomical shape, support and colour with an Atlantis patient-specific abutment

The implant was placed 3 mm apical to the cervical contour of the planned restoration, symmetrically from the mesial to distal aspect, and 2 mm to the lingual aspect in order to preserve the buccal bone that would support the soft tissue. (Image: Fernando Rojas-Vizcaya)

The aim of this case presentation is to show a step-by-step workflow with Atlantis patient-specific abutments. The case is of a 36-year-old patient with a vertical fracture of tooth #46 who was referred to our clinic.

The treatment plan was to extract the tooth and replace it with a dental implant using a conventional placement and loading protocol. The challenge was to restore the position of the gingival contour and the interproximal papillae to have the appearance of a natural tooth. In order to achieve a long-term, natural-looking result, an Atlantis abutment (Dentsply Sirona) was selected to provide the optimal anatomical shape, support and colour.
