title: Direct assembly framework for osseointegrated implant prosthesis.
abstract: A framework design for an osseointegrated implant fixed or detachable prosthesis prevents stress from being incorporated into the bone-fixture-prosthesis system. The framework consists of components that are joined by cement intraorally and allows adaptation of the framework to abutments within 5 microns. Components and biomechanics of the direct assembly framework are discussed. Advantages include a simplified laboratory and clinical technique. A treatment procedure of four appointments is necessary, including impressions, jaw-relation records, esthetic trial fitting, and framework assembly and insertion.
