Abstract:
When dental implant abutments are fabricated, the use of an implant indexing device (IID) is recommended to evaluate the accuracy of a definitive cast. An IID is also useful to position multiple implant abutments on implants. Several methods have been used to fabricate an IID. However, the existing methods are labor-intensive. This article presents a digital workflow for fabricating an IID using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology with minimal human error.
