Stage I indexing to replace a failed implant in an edentulous arch: a clinical report.
Implant failure may complicate and lengthen a planned treatment. This article describes a modified stage I indexing technique for registering the position of an implant and replacing a failed implant, allowing prosthesis fabrication time and healing time to be coincidental. The clinician can proceed as originally planned with a minimal increase in overall treatment time.
