title: Addition of an implant pillar to an existing implant prosthesis.
abstract: When an implant is lost, it is sometimes desirable to replace it to ensure adequate support of the prosthesis. Such an addition may necessitate a costly and time-consuming remake procedure. A technique is offered that, in some circumstances, may allow incorporation of the newly placed implant into the existing restoration.
