For dental restorations with multiple implants, solid plastic impression copings offer a solution for capturing accurate implant-level impressions, even with challenging implant convergence. This method facilitates the creation of precise implant-supported fixed restorations.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Prosthodontics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Accurate implant-level impressions are crucial for fabricating implant-supported fixed restorations, particularly with multiple implants.
  • Convergent or closely placed implants present significant challenges for conventional impression techniques.
  • Conventional metal coping modifications may be unfeasible in cases of extreme implant convergence.

Observation:

  • This clinical report details the use of solid plastic, press-fit, closed-tray impression copings.
  • These copings serve as a viable mechanism for achieving an implant-level cast.
  • The study evaluates the advantages and disadvantages associated with this impression technique.

Findings:

  • Solid plastic, press-fit, closed-tray impression copings provide a workable solution for impressioning convergent implants.
