Title: Using digitally coded healing abutments and an intraoral scanner to fabricate implant-supported, cement-retained restorations. Author: Nayyar N, Yilmaz B, McGlumphy E. Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2013 Apr; 109(4):210-5. PubMed ID: 23566600. Abstract: The accuracy of conventional impression materials and stone dies has been a consistent challenge for clinicians. As an alternative, intraoral scanning technology has the potential to resolve this problem. This clinical report describes the step-by-step technique necessary to scan digitally coded healing abutments with an intraoral scanner and generate implant abutments and cement-retained restorations without the use of impression materials, dental stone, or implant impression copings and analogs.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
