title: A simple and practical approach to evaluate implant positioning immediately after placement.
abstract: With the use of the flapless technique in the placement of one-piece implants, determination of the angulation of implant placement becomes critically important. After the implant is placed, the cast is made, sectioned, and superimposed on the radiographic template to determine the angulation. This method will assist the clinician in determining the angulation of one-piece implants immediately after placement.
