research I retained denture with telescopic crowns as attach- ments was planned. Aftertheimplantwasuncovered,thedenturewas modified to allow sufficient space for the healing abutments. A duplicate of the denture (DentDu) was made out of clear resin (Paladur, Heraeus, Hanau, Germany, Fig. 1b). A trial of the DentDu was per- formed and minor occlusal discrepancies were cor- rected(Fig.1c).Biterecordsweretakenincentricoc- clusion with modeling resin (pattern resin®, GC, Al- sip,IL;Fig.1c),usingthecastsoftheoriginaldenture. Afterwards, the DentDu was placed in an articulator and a controlling of the occlusion was made (Fig. 2a) with the bite records. A pickup transfer system con- sistingofatitaniumimpressionpostandaplasticim- pression sleeve was employed (Dentegris, Duisburg, Germany,Fig.2b).TheDentDuwascarefullymodified by creating internal clearance in the area of the im- plantssothatitcouldbeappliedasanindividualized customtray.Thispermittedittobefullyseatedwhen theimpressionpostswereinplace.Impressionswere generated by a polyether material (Impregum, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MI). During this process, the DentDu was kept in centric occlusion using the bite records (Fig. 3a). The titanium impression posts were connected with the implant analogues and with the plastic im- pressionsleeves(Dentegris),whichwereembeddedin Fig. 3a_Taking the impression with the DentDu. The bite records were used to determine the exact position. Fig. 3b_Fabrication of the master cast. Fig. 3c_Placement of the cast into the articulator using the bite registrations. YOUR ADVANTAGE!
