Abstract

This article describes a simplified impression technique for replacement of acrylic resin denture base material and teeth for an implant retained fixed complete denture utilizing the existing metal framework. This method permits precise alignment of the impression and framework to implants and residual ridges, and simultaneously provides a cast and record for articulation of replacement teeth at the appropriate vertical dimension of occlusion.
