A modified occlusal registration and implant transfer technique.
The technique for the transfer of implant and abutment position to a working cast has been hindered by multiple transfers and record reproductions. These serve only to delay completion of the patient's prosthetic requirements. A transfer technique that uses custom impression trays fabricated from surgical templates allows for a single-visit transfer of centric occlusion, vertical dimension, tooth position, and implant or abutment location in one procedure. This streamlines treatment and allows for quicker delivery of final prostheses.
