An interocclusal recording method for the fabrication of full-arch implant-retained restorations

J Oral Implantol. 2014 Jul:40 Spec No:357-64. doi: 10.1563/AAID-JOI-D-11-00232.

Abstract

The prosthetic rehabilitation of full arches with implants requires exact impression and bite registration. In this report, we describe the application of a simple method that uses a duplicate of the full denture as a mounting guide, which allows the accurate recording of the maxillomandibular relationship and bite registration while expediting this process for the treating dentist. Case reports of 2 patient are used to illustrate this method, which is independent of the implant system used, can be applied for both fixed and removable restorations, and reduces chair time.

Keywords: implant denture; implant prosthetic; implant prosthodontics; interocclusal distance; maxillomandibular relationship.
