Restoration of single-stage implants with solid abutments traditionally requires the use of an impression index cap, an analog and a lab fee commensurate with a more complex restoration. A technique is discussed that utilizes standard crown and bridge techniques that simplifies the lab procedure and reduces the prosthetic costs involved with fabrication of implant borne crowns.
Fabrication of a temporary crown can consume much chairside time when restoring a single-unit implant. A technique for rapid fabrication of a temporary crown for the ITI implant system is addressed so as to minimize time and provide an accurate-fitting esthetic interim crown.
Divergent implants in the maxilla can make restoration with removable prosthetics difficult when the implants will not be splinted with a superstructure. Attachments to be used with individual implants require that the implants be within 10 degrees of divergence. This article will address a new angled male designed to fit the locator attachment (female component) that can accommodate up to a 40 degrees divergence.
