Case report demonstrates a technique for accurate impressions in challenging implant scenarios, suggesting clinical utility.
Managing implants with unknown systems presents a significant clinical challenge when obtaining an accurate master impression. This case report describes a simple technique for fabricating a customized closed-tray implant impression post and laboratory analog when the implant system cannot be identified. The use of these customized components enabled accurate transfer of the implant position and facilitated the fabrication of a definitive prosthesis. This case report highlights a practical solution for clinicians facing similar cases involving unknown implant systems.
