ATLANTIS™ 3D EDITOR Installation

ATLANTIS™ 3D Editor ATLANTIS™ 3D Editor is an enhancement of the ATLANTIS™ 3D Viewer software that allows the possibility to both view and make limited edits to the proposed abutment design, which can be visualized in realtime.

A proposed abutment design, that is either approved or further modified via ATLANTIS 3D Editor and submitted, can be processed directly for manufacturing, which can further reduce turnaround time for the case.

The ATLANTIS 3D Editor also allows for changes to the most common and basic design aspects. It does not allow for changes in the abutment design that might compromise the functional integrity and/or the ability to produce the product. If changes are made outside of acceptable design requirements, the abutment will turn red to indicate that it cannot be accepted for production.

If desired changes cannot be made within the ATLANTIS 3D Editor functionality, a request can be sent to DENTSPLY Implants so an ATLANTIS Abutment Design Technician can make the change(s) for you. In this case, an updated abutment design will be sent to you for review and approval prior to production. ATLANTIS abutment design images can still be shared with ATLANTIS 3D Editor. Click-to-share recipients will be able to view the case images in 3D (software installation required), but the editing feature will not be available to them.

ATLANTIS™ 3D EDITOR Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Editing features

Q: Can I stop working on changes and come back to them later?

A: Yes. You can save your work at any time by clicking on the Save button. Next time you open the case, the abutment design will include any changes you have previously saved.

Q: What should I do if I can’t make the changes I want?

A: Some elements of the abutment design that cannot be modified using ATLANTIS™ 3D Editor. If you cannot achieve the design changes you are looking for, please request changes to your case by writing your request in the comment box and sending it to DENTSPLY Implants.

Q: If I’ve made some changes but need help, can DENTSPLY Implants see what I’ve done so far?

A: Yes. Once you click the Save button, your changes are registered with DENTSPLY Implants. When you contact us, we will see the progress you have made up to that point.

Q: Can I share ATLANTIS™ 3D Editor with my clinician?

A: Yes. You will still be able to share case images as usual. If you are sharing 3D case images with someone who has not previously downloaded the viewing software, they will be required to download ATLANTIS 3D Editor in order to view the images that you have sent. Please note however, that click-to-share recipients can only view case images and will not have editing capabilities.

Q: Does the ATLANTIS™ 3D Editor software have safeguards built in that help prevent improper design edits?

A: Yes. There are various parameters within the ATLANTIS 3D Editor software that help to ensure optimal strength and function of your abutment design:• As you change one parameter, other design parameters are changed accordingly to maintain the most

proper abutment shape achievable. All elements of the ATLANTIS™ abutment design are set to allow for an optimal clinical result. For example, the abutment core taper angle and path of insertion are tightly maintained to ensure the absence of undercuts and a precise fit.

• All change are monitored as they are made against manufacturing standards. This allows proper control of minimum angles and ensures that abutments are not designed to be larger than the material blank.

If you exceed the blank limit, for example, the abutment will turn red to indicate that the requested design does not meet manufacturing requirements. Note that the blank limit has two elements; a length, which controls the maximum height of the abutment, and a radius, which controls how far the design can go from the screw hole.

Q: Can I see the shape of the planned tooth when I make design changes to the abutment design?

A: No, this option is currently not available.

Q: Why can’t I control parallelism in ATLANTIS™ 3D Editor?

A: To ensure efficiency in your abutment design editing process, certain elements such as parallelism and adjustments to the path of insertion are not included in the 3D Editor because they concern issues about working with multiple teeth. We are always looking for ways to add features, while keeping this tool easy to use for the majority of our customers. In the meantime, you can achieve parallelism by simply requesting it in the parallelism section of ATLANTIS™ WebOrder. You can also make adjustments to the path of insertion by noting it in your request to the ATLANTIS Abutment Design Technician.

20


Q: Why does one side of my abutment core not move as I change the core angle?

A: For single unit cases, or cases where the units are not splinted, the path of insertion will follow the core angle. In multi-unit cases, however, where the multiple units are to be splinted together, the path of insertion angle for the splinted units also factors into the calculation of the abutment core shape. In these cases, the new core angle is in conflict with the path of insertion, and the tool tries to maintain an optimal balance between the new core angle and the path of insertion. In other words, one side of the abutment matches the core angle, while the other side is limited by the path of insertion.

Q: Is it possible to create a curved versus straight base shape?

A: It is possible to create abutment with different base profiles. However, this cannot be done using ATLANTIS 3D Editor. If you want to adjust the base profile, please submit your request using the Comment field.

Q: Is it possible to make the cusps rounder and also change their position and height?

A: To make these types of adjustments, please submit your request using the Comment field.

Q: What is a “keep out zone”?

A: There are numerous design parameters built into the sophisticated ATLANTIS VAD™ (Virtual Abutment Design) software that help to ensure at the mechanical integrity of the abutment is maintained. The “keep out zone” is the parameter that helps preserve the minimum core thickness needed at the base of an abutment.

Optimizing your ATLANTIS™ abutment designs

Q: How do I adjust the cut-back for an ATLANTIS™ Crown Abutment with the 3D Editor?

A: You adjust the cut-back for a ATLANTIS™ Crown Abutment the same way you adjust the shoulder for an ATLANTIS™ abutment, but via the Cut-back tab instead. The Cut-back tab (page 16) controls the porcelain support. To find out more about ATLANTIS™ Crown Abutment, refer to ATLANTIS™ Design Guide.

Q: How do I solve insufficient core retention?

A: If the software determines that the core of the abutment is too small to hold a crown, the abutment will be displayed in red, indicating that it cannot be manufactured to the specifications requested. Changes to the margin position and shoulder widths are good ways to fix this problem.

Q: How do I solve thin core walls?

A: Certain shape combinations result in thin core walls, which the software automatically reshapes to avoid fractures or sharp edges. This can appear as less core height than expected along one of the walls. You can increase the thickness in that area by reducing the corresponding shoulder width, widening the margin position, and sometimes by moving the core angle away from the thin area.

Q: How do I make my margins lower?

A: If you are unable to lower the margin further, this indicates that you have reached the minimum margin height requirement needed for the abutment-to-implant interface.

21


Q: How do I adjust the height to fit within the blank?

A: When you increase the height of the abutment beyond the maximum manufacturing height limits, the abutment will turn red to indicate that it no longer meets manufacturing requirements. If this happens while you are increasing the abutment height, simply reduce the height until the abutment color changes back to normal. This will also happen if the abutment exceeds the maximum manufacturing width or angle, and/or other design parameters. In all these cases, undo the change you made until the abutment color changes back to normal.

Q: What do nomenclatures such as “core” and “base” mean?

A: Please refer to the “Abutment design terminology” section on page 22.

Q: Does the ATLANTIS™ warranty cover changes I made to the original design?

A: The ATLANTIS warranty covers all ATLANTIS products that are manufactured.

Q: Is ATLANTIS™ 3D Editor compatible with the Mac?

A: No. Mac compatibility for ATLANTIS 3D Editor is currently not available.
