Dual-tray impression technique for implant-retained overdentures.

Accurately recording implant positions and the edentulous areas during the fabrication of implant-retained overdentures can be a difficult task. A modification of the dual or split-tray technique is suggested for implant-retained overdentures. This procedure permits the construction of the prosthesis on one master cast and the use of two impression materials with different properties incorporated into a single impression to correspond with the needs of specific anatomic areas of the mouth.

Connecting implant framework segments.

Indexing and soldering an implant bar can be a troublesome procedure. The expansion of the soldering investment may result in an inaccurate fit of the implant framework over the abutments or the implant heads. To overcome the distortion of the implant framework during soldering, a simple procedure for connecting the implant framework parts is described where the connector joints are cast-to rather than soldered.
