10 I I C.E. article_ intraorally welded implants implants 3_2016 bility that results from the splinting can reduce the risk of failure during the healing period. After the implants integrated, the titanium bar removed implants were ready for the impression. (Fig. 6). Fixed prosthesis was fabricated and cemented (Figs. 7, 8). A lingualized (lingual contact) scheme of occlusion was selected. An adequate horizontal overlap was included to guard against interference within the functional range; the amount was determined by the jaw relationship. A vertical overlap was used for ap- pearance. _Conclusion The Auriga technique, which includes intra-oral welding,allowsimmediateloadingofentirearches. Among the advantages are immediate stabiliza- tion of the implants, immediate provisionalization, reduced risk of failure during the healing period, elimination of errors caused by unsatisfactory impression making and a potential reduction in patient complaints and discomfort. Overall, the Auriga technique is a viable treat- ment protocol for bilateral as well as unilateral situations._ Fig. 6 Fig. 7 Fig. 8 Fig. 6_ Titanium bar removed, implants reprapped, final impression taken and ready for definitive prosthesis cementation.
