Abstract:
The possibility of restorative inaccuracies increases with the number of impressions taken and subsequent models poured. Herein we describe a unique, splinted, dual-arch pick-up impression technique using abutment components instead of transfer copings. In our experience, this permits the fabrication of a definitive restoration as a result of a single impression.
