One-step implant index verification and maxillomandibular relationship

Before definitive fabrication of an implant-supported prosthesis, the accurate positioning of the fixtures or abutment replicas on the working master cast must be verified. In addition, the implant master cast must be accurately mounted against the opposing cast. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a technique that combines the verification index and a maxillomandibular relationship into one step, with an accurate technique to record the relationship.
