CEREC and Atlantis screw-retained crown - Part I: Make The Hole
This is a quick and simple way to make the screw-access hole. There are work arounds in the software to make a depression in restoration where the screw access hole is located as well. However, this may be difficult for a dental auxiliary team member to manipulate the software.
What you need:
- CEREC software
- Imported DXD core file sent from Atlantis
- Custom Atlantis abutment
- Emax block of the correct shade
- Implant Analog or Holder
- Implant driver
- Pencil
- Long Cylindrical Diamond bur
- Handpiece
CEREC and Atlantis screw-retained crown - Part II: Stain/Glaze and Cementation
Use the conventional method that you use to stain and glaze your ceramic. Any dual-cure resin cement will work. An opaque shade is preferred.
What you need:
- Emax stain and glaze kit
- Furnace
- Implant Analog or Holder
- Implant driver
- HF etch
- Silane
- Resin cement of choice e.g. Multilink Hybrid Abutment or RelyX Unviersal
- Teflon
- Polishing rubber and handpiece
- Clamp
- Glycerin
CEREC and Atlantis screw-retained crown - Part III: Implant Issue
An optional method to restore the screw-access hole is to use opaquing resin to mask out the metallic abutment. In my experience this is not an aesthetic issue for the patient and I tend to use a composite resin that is significantly whiter so I can differentiate the screw-access hole from the restoration if I need to access the abutment screw in future.
I would always suggest the use of gauze to protect the patients airway, especially if we are restoring a first or second molar.
What you need:
- Screw-retained implant crown
- Optragate
- Anthrogyr and Implant driver
- Handpieces and restorative burs
- Teflon
- Dental adhesive and composite of choice
- Opaquing resin (optional)
- Polishing rubbers
- Glycerin
- Rubber dam, clamp and frame
- Floss
- Articulating paper
- Gauze
