Restoration of the maxillary arch with a precision-milled double-bar prosthesis

When restoring the challenging maxillary arch, no one treatment will serve all patients optimally. An open mind must be maintained, and the prosthetic evolution and creativity will continue. The ideal tooth position for each case should be determined prior to surgery in order to ensure optimum prosthetic results. This presentation and paper discuss the restoration of the maxillary arch. Impressions, soft tissue model, bar pattern, alloy selection, screw seating, and screw-retained suprastructure over infrastructure are presented and illustrated.
