Custom copings for accurate impressions of multiple internal connection implants

Implant Dent. 2010 Oct;19(5):365-9. doi: 10.1097/ID.0b013e3181ecff52.

Abstract

The technique presented facilitates a 1-step final impression and registration of multiple internal connection implants that have an unfavorable proximity. This is achieved by the use of customized impression elements that provide an accurate registration of the implant positions and the maxillomandibular relation. By means of this procedure, problematic implant positions are bypassed and chair-side time is reduced significantly.
