A technique to verify or correct analogue position and soft tissue profile on an implant working cast.
A procedure which allows verification of the implant working cast and a method to correct the position of one or more implant analogues, if necessary, is described. In a single procedure, a corrected, accurate cast with soft tissue profile can be obtained by using a polyether impression material in conjunction with an acrylic resin jig.
