Abstract:
A long-term successful implant-supported prosthesis requires the creation of a passively fitting framework, based on an accurate intraoral digital implant scan. According to dental literature, splinted implant scan bodies (ISBs) provide higher intraoral scanning accuracy than non-splinted techniques. This technique presents a structured approach for splinting multi-unit abutment scan bodies (MUASBs) using customized manufactured devices to facilitate the recording of definitive intraoral implant scans.
