title: Adhesive abutment cylinder luting.
abstract: The connection between dental implants must be passive so that stress is not introduced between bone, implant, and prosthesis. To achieve this passivity clinically is difficult if not impossible with current procedures. A technique is presented in which premachined titanium abutment cylinders are clinically luted to a cast framework to create a stress-free connection. Possible advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
