Fabricating a nonrotational angulated abutment for a single-tooth prosthesis.
The fabrication of a custom waxed and cast nonrotational angulated abutment will be described. Most manufacturers of implant components fabricate angulated abutments for multiunit retrievable prostheses. However, they do not manufacture any components for a single unit that is screw retained. This article covers a step-by-step technique that was developed in an attempt to resolve this problem.
