title: Intraoral digital impression for fabricating a replica of an implant-supported interim prosthesis.
abstract: Even though a customized scannable impression coping is used, the precise replication of the emergent profile developed by an implant-supported interim prosthesis (ISIP) is difficult. This article describes a method for overcoming the limitations of a customized scannable impression coping. With this technique, a customized scannable impression coping is eliminated, and the information from an ISIP is obtained.
