Abstract:
Custom-made abutments are popular to correct malpositioned implants, enhance esthetics, and improve function. The implant abutment can be positioned in 6 or 12 different positions depending on the connection design. In addition, the number of positions increases exponentially when >1 abutment is to be placed. This report presents the fabrication and use of a multiple abutment positional guide. This device reduces the chair time for construction of implant-supported prostheses by seating the abutments within their correct locations.
