  • Title: Multiple abutment positional guide.
    Author: Carvalho W, Ferreira V, Barboza E.
    Journal: Implant Dent; 2009 Feb; 18(1):5-9. PubMed ID: 19212232.
    Abstract:
    Custom-made abutments are popular to correct malpositioned implants, enhance esthetics, and improve function. The implant abutment can be positioned in 6 or 12 different positions depending on the connection design. In addition, the number of positions increases exponentially when >1 abutment is to be placed. This report presents the fabrication and use of a multiple abutment positional guide. This device reduces the chair time for construction of implant-supported prostheses by seating the abutments within their correct locations.
