Stabilization investment template for direct casting connection of implant framework segments.
This article presents a procedure whereby a template made of casting investment is used to stabilize a sectioned implant framework that has been adapted in a passive relationship to the implant analogs in a corrected master cast. The joints in the sectioned framework are filled with wax, sprues attached, and the template and sectioned framework are invested in a casting ring. When the casting procedure is completed, the framework will be reconnected by direct metal casting.
