I 37 case report _ restoration of atrophied maxillae I CAD/CAM 3_2014 by means of an apical sliding flap. The natural mucogingival junction was then restored and gingiva formers inserted (Figs. 16–18). _Impression Thesofttissuetookthreeweekstohealaround the gingiva formers. For the prosthetic treatment phase, four appointments were necessary for completion of the final restoration based on Dr Pape’s prosthetic concept.3 In the first session, an impression was taken with the repositioning technique with transfer copings inserted into the implants (closed-tray impression) and an initial impression taken with a stock tray (Fig. 19). This impression was used in the laboratory to fabricate an initial cast and to prepare a second impression using the pick-up technique. The im- pression posts were rigidly attached to the cast using PATTERN RESIN (GC). This index was sepa- rated again between the implants in the labora- tory and the impression posts were placed in the patient’s mouth in the second session (Fig. 20).
