Fixed prosthesis with a milled bar for correcting misangled implants: a clinical report.
The fabrication of fixed implant-supported prostheses for edentulous maxillae may result in esthetic and functional problems due to the unfavorable angulations of the supporting implants. This article presents a technique that uses a metal mesosubstructure prepared with a conventional milling technique and palatal set screws to compensate for an unfavorable implant position, thereby providing a more esthetically acceptable and functional result.
