Abstract:
Anatomical constraints at implant sites often precipitate a conflict between surgical and prosthodontic prerequisites for screw retention of implantsupported prostheses. This article discusses use of a dual-axis implant designed to help clinicians overcome these challenges by facilitating accuracy of surgical placement and prosthetic simplicity, as well as improving biomechanics and enhancing esthetics.
