Prosthetic management of unparallel titanium plasma-sprayed screw implants.
Iatrogenic problems may occur in the treatment of implant patients. Hopefully implant screws can be placed parallel to each other, but there are situations where they are not, because of operator error or the configuration of the alveolar ridge. The technique presented will assist in the prosthetic management of unparallel screw implants.
