A simple method of making an implant-level impression when presented with limited space,unfavorable implant positions,or problematic implant angulations

Making an implant-level impression for the purpose of abutment selection when implants are placed in limited space, unfavorable positions, or compromising angulations can be a time-consuming procedure. An impression procedure is presented that makes use of either prefabricated screw-retained titanium implant index copings or plastic snap-on implant index copings to help resolve problematic implant placement. Both the titanium and plastic implant index copings are easy to modify and therefore make impression procedures more predictable.
