The
patient is a female in her sixties. She has been wearing a complete lower
denture for several years and is not very happy with it. Her maxillary
arch is restored with a crown and bridge restoration.
Four Nobelpharma Conical Implants were placed in the anterior section
of her mandible. Three months later the implants were uncovered and temporary
healing caps were placed. The top Photo shows the patient about four weeks
after second stage surgery. At that time, the temporary abutments were
removed and the one-piece impression copings were inserted. A hydrocolloid
impression was made and a master cast was poured using GI Mask for the
soft tissue simulation.
