Guidelines for splinting implants.
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Teeth and implants have different mobility patterns. Thus, it has been believed that implant-supported restorations should not be connected to natural teeth. However, this is not always the case. PURPOSE: This article presents guidelines for connection of restorative components when implant abutments and natural teeth are involved. METHODS: Methods of connection are discussed. CONCLUSION: This article presents options for splinting of prosthetic components.
