  • Title: Modified indexing technique for the immediate interim restoration of a dental implant.
    Author: Reis JM, Abi-Rached Fde O, Scardueli CR, Pinelli LA.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2014 Aug; 112(2):369-72. PubMed ID: 24433838.
    Abstract:
    Because of the functional and esthetic requirements of patients, different techniques have been proposed to reduce the time between dental implant placement and interim restoration fabrication. This article describes a modified indexing technique by using a surgical template for open-tray impression and definitive cast development during immediate loading procedures. This technique does not use a complete impression of the oral cavity and, therefore, is more comfortable, less time consuming, and less expensive. It also allows the fabrication of interim restorations with the optimal shape for developing an adequate emergence profile.
