title: A modified plastic shell technique for cement-retained implant restorations.
abstract: The best possible fit of prosthetic components should be the aim of the clinician. The technical report presented here describes the use of a modified plastic shell technique for modeling a cement-retained single-implant restoration. This approach will help to prevent potential errors caused by the wax modeling technique.
