This article describes an impression technique for a complete-arch prosthesis supported by multiple implants where additive manufacturing technologies were used to fabricate a splinting framework and a custom tray. The technique presented uses a shim method to control the homogenous splinting acrylic resin and impression material during the procedure, thereby reducing laboratory and chairside time and the number of impression copings and laboratory analogs needed.

Review
This review of occlusal considerations for implant-supported complete dentures reflects the majority opinion of authors according to clinical observations and research-documented evidence. Occlusal concepts are presented for the implant-supported complete dentures regarding analysis of loads applied to dental implants, location and number of implants, occlusal materials, and occlusal scheme.

Review
In Part 2 of this literature review, a summary of the literature regarding the determination of acceptable cantilever lengths for fixed implant prostheses is presented. Studies examining the possible effects of biomechanical stress on both the implant prosthesis and the supporting bone are also discussed.

Review
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Optimal occlusion and esthetics are goals in prosthetic treatment. Implant dentistry is no exception.
PURPOSE OF ARTICLE
The purpose of this article is to discuss how the choice to use screw-retained or cement-retained implants dramatically influences the occlusion and esthetics.

This clinical report describes the fractured hexagonal part of an implant abutment. The initial clinical sign was a loose abutment screw. Upon further clinical evaluation, the abutment was seen to have fractured and had wedged inside the implant body. Because the implant was a bone-level internal conical connection system, access and visibility were limited. A simple and economical technique with modified round-tip scissors was used to retrieve the fractured titanium abutment.

Management of a Fractured Multiunit Maxillary Implant-Supported Fixed Prosthesis with Stripped Abutment Screws Using a Hybrid Cement-Retained and Screw-Retained Design: A 5-Year Follow-Up Clinical Report.
Fracture and loosening of implant-supported prostheses (ISPs) are complications encountered in routine dental practice. In the present report, management of a fractured maxillary full-arch cement-retained (CR) fixed dental prosthesis supported by six implants is presented. Due to stripped screws, complications were encountered that prevented the retrieval of two of the six abutment screws, which was managed by using a hybrid retention approach, whereby a single full-arch CR and screw-retained (SR) ISP was used. The techniques used to successfully retrieve four of the abutment screws are described. The final retention design involved a combination of three CR and three SR restorations, which offers the advantages of both retention designs.

Residual ridge resorption is a rapid, progressive, irreversible, and inevitable process of bone resorption. Long-standing teeth and implants have been shown to have maintained the bone around them without resorption. Thus, overdenture therapy has been proven to be beneficial in situations where few remaining teeth are present. In addition to the various advantages seen with tooth-supported telescopic overdentures, a few shortcomings can also be expected, including unseating of the overdenture, increased bulk of the prosthesis, secondary caries, etc. The precise transfer of the secondary telescopic copings to maintain the spatial relationship, without any micromovement, remains the most critical step in ensuring the success of the tooth-supported telescopic prosthesis. Thus, a simple and innovative technique of splinting the secondary copings was devised to prevent distortion and micromovement and maintain its spatial relationship.
