An accurate, single, platform-level impression technique for the fabrication of prosthetic restorations on dental implants.
The possibility of restorative inaccuracies increases with the number of impressions taken and subsequent models poured. Herein we describe a unique, splinted, dual-arch pick-up impression technique using abutment components instead of transfer copings. In our experience, this permits the fabrication of a definitive restoration as a result of a single impression.
