Interocclusal Registration for Diagnosis and Treatment Planning for Implant Restorations
AlZain, sahar . 2017
This paper describes a new technique to record the interocclusal relationship of an implant case where multiple posterior teeth are missing and need to be replaced by implant restorations. In the case presented, an appliance was designed to be supported only by hard immovable tissues; teeth that provide a precise fit of records. The well-fitting appliance can be used to accurately mount implant cases with inadequate posterior support for diagnosis and treatment planning. This technique of interocclusal registration has the advantages of accurate mounting, preservation of materials and financial expenses, and reduction of chair-side time. This appliance may also be used in all cases of multiple missing posterior teeth
requiring prosthodontic treatment.
