Example:
Maxillary central incisor: 8.0 mm root → needs 2.5–3.0
mm transition from a 4.0 mm implant
Prevents overcontouring and unnatural appearance
Mandibular incisors often <4.0 mm → require smaller

Implant surgery is typically done in an ambulatory setting with local anesthesia, though it may take
more time than other procedures, making conscious sedation preferable. Despite patient
expectations, implant placement is less traumatic than tooth extraction. Preoperative education and
conscious sedation can help reduce anxiety. Detailed surgical procedures can be found in current
standard texts.
SURGICAL ACCESS
Incision choice: Should allow tissue retraction for proper implant placement and preserve esthetics
Crestal incision: Recommended when adequate attached tissue and sufficient bone width are
present
Posterior mandible: Incision placed buccally for flap retraction, but risk of dehiscence due to thin
bone
Maxillary anterior zone: Palatal-side incision is effective for better access
Pre-implant preparation: Use a surgical template and smooth uneven or sharp ridge areas before
placement

FIXED RESTORATION IN THE COMPLETELY EDENTULOUS ARCH
Complete metal-resin fixed dental prosthesis:
Cast alloy framework with processed denture
resin and teeth. It is typically supported by
minimum of five implants in the mandible and
six in the maxilla. One major determining
factor for selecting this option is the amount
of bone and soft tissue that has been lost. For
patients who have had moderate bone loss,
the prosthesis restores both bone and soft
tissue contours.
Metal-ceramic fixed dental prosthesis:
Requires a minimum of five implants in the
mandible and six in the maxilla. It can be
made esthetically pleasing only if bone loss is
minimal and is best suited for patients who
have recently (within 5 years) lost their
natural teeth. For patients with severe bone
loss, there is probably only one option: a
removable restoration.

Attached to the implants at all times. Therefore,
patients experience psychologic benefit of having a
restoration that closely resembles their original natural
teeth.
Movement within the system is minimized, and the
components tend to wear out less quickly.
Since prosthesis is screw retained, the dentist can
remove it, allowing access for cleaning and repairs.
FIXED RESTORATION (METAL RESIN/METAL-CERAMIC)
(MAIN ADVANTAGES)
62.
Implants must beprecisely placed, especially in the maxillary
anterior esthetic. Implants placed in embrasure spaces can lead
to disastrous esthetic results and can impede access for
hygiene.
With a metal-resin prosthesis, the clinician must decide between
leaving enough space for hygiene access and minimizing space
for optimum esthetics.
Some patients may be concerned by the amount of metal shown
in a metal-resin prosthesis.

OCCLUSION
Bone resorption aroundimplants can result from
premature or excessive loading, especially from
lateral forces. Implants handle vertical forces better,
so restorations should minimize lateral stress, ensure
proper occlusion, and evenly distribute forces. Ideal
implant placement involves one implant per tooth or
two for every three teeth in dense bone. Cantilevers
should be kept short to prevent overloading.
CONNECTING IMPLANTS TO NATURAL TEETH
Implants are rigid, while natural teeth move slightly,
creating stress when connected. This mismatch can
lead to screw loosening, cement failure, or implant
damage. If connection is necessary, use multiple
abutments or semiprecision attachments, though a
fully implant-supported prosthesis is preferred.
IMPLANT AND FRAMEWORK FIT
A poor framework fit can create harmful forces at the
bone-implant interface. Even if gaps appear closed
when all screws are tightened, stress may still be
present. Passive fit should be verified using the one-
screw test. If misfit is detected, the framework must
be sectioned, soldered, and reassessed, with a relation
record taken.
CAD/CAM ABUTMENTS AND FRAMEWORKS
CAD/CAM allows for precise, custom-made ceramic or
titanium abutments and frameworks. These offer
better fit and accuracy than traditional methods,

SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY
In impression making,there are many aspects to consider before the
procedure in order to have a successful impression.
These include proper moisture control to prevent voids, and in cases
where margins are subgingival, a displacement is made to allow
proper material flow.
Poor saliva control and tissue management can result in inaccurate
impressions or even permanent tissue damage.

Initial assessment of cord placement can be a useful indicator of the amount
of displacement accomplished.
If the result is acceptable, a second cord (saturated with astringent) is quickly
inserted to maintain the displacement and is removed after several minutes.
The first cord is remained during impression making (Double-cord technique).
It is better to delay impression making and focus more on improving tissue
health rather than to attempt under adverse conditions.

Using a pencil, mark the border of the tray on the diagnostic cast approximately 5 mm apically
to the crest of the free gingiva.
1.
Adapt a wax or other suitable spacer to the diagnostic cast. Two layers of baseplate wax result
in a combined thickness of approximately 2.5 mm.
2.
Soften the wax by carefully heating it over a Bunsen burner or in hot water.
3.
After the second sheet of wax has been applied, trim it back until the pencil line is just visible.
4.
Apply a layer of tin foil over the wax to prevent it from contaminating the inside of the tray.
5.
Mix autopolymerizing acrylic resin according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
6.
After the resin is mixed, set it aside until it is doughy.
7.
Gently adapt the resin to the cast. A handle made from the excess resin can be attached at this
time.
8.
After the material has polymerized, remove it from the cast and trim it with an acrylic trimming
bur where the indentation made by the wax ledge is visible.

8. Position the cast in the curing unit for approximately 2 minutes. Remove from the
curing unit, separate the tray from the cast, and remove the softened wax spacer and
the aluminum barrier.
9. Return the cast to the curing unit and cure in accordance with the time recommended
by the manufacturer. Remove the tray and scrub it clean under running water.

The completed custom tray needs to be rigid, with a consistent
thickness of 2 to 3 mm. It should extend about 3 to 5 mm cervical to
the gingival margins and should be shaped to allow muscle
attachments. It should be stable on the cast with stops that can
maintain an impression thickness of 2 or 3 mm. The tray must be
smooth, with no sharp edges. Finally, the handle should be sturdy and
shaped to fit between the patient’s lips. To avoid distortion from
continued polymerization of the resin,56 the tray should be made at
least 9 hours before its use.

1. Evaluate the custom tray in the patient’s mouth to verify its fit. Correct the tray
as needed.
2. Apply tray adhesive to extend a few millimeters onto the external surface of
the tray.
3. Isolate the abutment teeth and place gingival displacement cord in the sulcus.
4. On separate pads (one for the tray and one for the syringe material), disperse
equal amounts of base and accelerator.

5. Blend thetwo pastes thoroughly. Initially, the spatula is kept somewhat vertical
during mixing; this position is changed gradually to be more horizontal as the two
pastes become better incorporated.
6. Load the syringe. This can be done by holding the barrel vertically, pushing it through
the mix, and then angling and sliding it sideways over the mixing pad.
7. Remove the displacement cord and gently dry the preparation with compressed air.
8. Place the tip of the syringe nozzle so that it touches the margin and inject the material
slowly.
9. Express additional material to any edentulous spaces, lingual concavities of the
anterior teeth (which are important for guidance), and occlusal surfaces of the posterior
teeth (which are important for obtaining an accurate articulation).
10. Seat the tray. It must remain immobile while the material undergoes polymerization
(6 to 12 minutes, depending on the material).

The same steps are performed
for the single-mix technique as
for the heavy body—light body
technique; however, as the name
indicates, only one mix is used to
load the syringe and fill the tray.
Most single-mix materials tend to
produce a slightly higher
viscosity mix with a slightly
shorter working time.
Most impression materials come
in cartridges with disposable
mixing tips, used with a caulking
gun-like device. This system
allows automatic mixing and
direct application, reducing voids
by eliminating hand mixing.
An alternative method for
improving impression mixing is to
use a machine mixer. This system
is convenient and produces void-
free impressions.
97.

The impression mustbe inspected for accuracy when it is removed.
If bubbles or voids appear in the margin, the impression must be
discarded. An intact, uninterrupted cuff of impression material
should be present beyond every margin. Streaks of base or catalyst
material indicate improper mixing and may render an impression
useless. If the impression passes all these tests, it can then be
disinfected and poured to obtain a die and definitive cast.

A reversible hydrocolloid impression is evaluated in the
same manner as polysulfide polymer. However, the
translucency of the material may make small imperfections
difficult to detect. If doubt exists, it may be expedient to
make a new impression, because this does not require
additional tissue displacement and can be easily
accomplished.

SED-MOUTH IMPRESSION TECHNIQUE
Theclosed-mouth impression technique, also known as the
dual-arch or triple tray technique, is commonly used for
single-unit restorations. It captures the prepared tooth,
adjacent teeth, and opposing teeth in maximum
intercuspation, using a high-viscosity polyether or
polyvinylsiloxane material in a mesh-supported tray. This
allows for an accurate impression and occlusal record,
although it does not record eccentric jaw relationships,
which must be adjusted during restoration delivery.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS SPECIALCONSIDERATIONS SPEC
Certain modifications of the basic impression technique are sometimes
needed, particularly for making impressions with additional retention
features such as pinholes and post space.
Elastomeric impression materials are strong enough to reproduce a
pinhole without tearing. However, to avoid bubbles, they must be
introduced carefully into the pinhole with a lentulo or cement tub.With
reversible hydrocolloid, a special nylon bristle must be used for the
impression.

DISINFECTION
Impressions should betreated as contaminated and
must be disinfected immediately after removal. Rinse
with tap water, dry with an air syringe, and disinfect
using appropriate agents like glutaraldehyde or
iodophor sprays. Material compatibility is important—
polyether or hydrophilic silicones should be sprayed and
sealed in a plastic bag, not soaked, to prevent distortion.
Proper disinfection prevents cross-infection and does
not affect impression accuracy.

stored longer. Accurate impressions are essential for well-
fitting restorations, especially for pin-retained ones.
