WHY ANATOTEMP
BETTER FOR...
IMPLANT SURGEONS
Implant surgeons can welcome the Anatotemp anatomic dental implant healing abutment as an off-the-shelf solution that aids in creating an esthetic emergence through the gingiva during the healing period. By using the Anatotemp system, implant surgeons are able to create an effortless restorative process for their restorative dentists and lab technicians. For practitioners performing all aspects of implant dentistry, Anatotemp makes it possible to greatly improve workflow and results.
RESTORATIVE DENTISTS
Restorative dentists save four steps and one appointment by not removing the AnatotempSC during scanning. The AnatotempSC is not removed until seating the final restoration. The ideal emergence profile also provides enhanced ease of seating restorations. Occlusal adjustment due to insufficient seating may be vastly minimized. Finally, enhanced tissue contour can lead to optimum esthetics.
LABORATORY TECHNICIANS
Dental laboratory technicians can appreciate the ideal gingival contour, allowing them to create an ideally shaped dental restoration. Gone will be the days of inferior shaped crowns or lollipop effect due to minimal gingival opening.
PATIENTS
Patients may reap the benefits of knowing their surgeon, restorative dentist, and lab technician are utilizing all available resources to create the ideal dental restoration resulting in optimal esthetics, function, and hygiene.
THE CHALLENGE
For years implant dentists have used conventional round healing abutments, thereby creating a round gingival opening. This practice has led to numerous challenges including:
- Challenges with impression taking
- Challenges with restoration fabrication and inferior crown shape due to sub-optimal gingival contour
- Additional surgical intervention at time of restoration seating to create more space
- Blanching of gingival tissue at time of restoration seating
- Incomplete restoration seating due to an inadequate gingival opening
- Cement extrusion due to difficulty in seating restoration and difficulty instrumenting between tight gingiva and restoration
- Although custom healing abutment procedures do exist, these can lead to increased chair time, and can be labor and laboratory intensive
THE SOLUTION
The Anatotemp anatomic dental implant healing abutment is an off-the-shelf solution that:
- Anatomically contours soft tissue during the healing process while also functioning as a scan body.
THE DESIGN
Anatotemp shapes and sizes were designed using an exhaustive cone beam CT study, enabling the formulation of average sizes that are ideal for an off-the-shelf component.
SIX SHAPES
AnatotempSC is available in six anatomic shapes and multiple anti-rotational connections. When choosing Anatotemp shape and location, you may want to reference the Anatotemp Shape Location Guide.
Mandibular Molar
Maxillary Molar
Maxillary/Mandibular Premolar & Mandibular Canine
Maxillary Canine
Maxillary Lateral & Mandibular Incisor
Maxilary Central
ANTI-ROTATIONAL CONNECTION
Anatotemp is designed for use with the most common anti-rotational connections to prevent the Anatotemp from rotating and is secured with a titanium abutment screw. Connections include internal hexagon, internal conical hexagon, and internal 4side. Additional connections continue to be developed.
STERILE MEDICAL PACKAGING
All Anatotemps are provided sterile and are packaged with the corresponding titanium abutment screw in a PETG medical tray with Tyvek pull lid.
MEDICAL GRADE MATERIAL
The Anatotemp is made of a biocompatible, medical-grade, smooth plastic that is hygienic and gentle on tissue.
