Fixed prosthesis with a milled bar for correcting misangled implants: a clinical report

J Prosthet Dent. 2007 Mar;97(3):129-32. doi: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2007.01.003.

Abstract

The fabrication of fixed implant-supported prostheses for edentulous maxillae may result in esthetic and functional problems due to the unfavorable angulations of the supporting implants. This article presents a technique that uses a metal mesosubstructure prepared with a conventional milling technique and palatal set screws to compensate for an unfavorable implant position, thereby providing a more esthetically acceptable and functional result.
