[QUOTE="Brett Hansen CDT, post: 346409, member: 3194"] Here is how I restore most implant cases: Single Unit Screw Retained Case: Scan for Atlantis Custom Base(engaging) Multi Unit Screw Retained Case where the implants will be bridged: Order non-engaging Ti bases(usually Dess) Single Unit Cemented Case: Scan for Atlantis Custom Abutment(engaging) Multi Unit Cement Retained Case: Scan for multiple engaging Atlantis Custom Abutments You can substitute Straumann, or Nobel, or whichever implant company for Atlantis if you want to go that route but the process is the same. The only issue I have run into with Ti-bases is the width of the Ti base under the tissue. When you add in the thickness of the restoration material, it can be hard for the doctor to insert if the tissue hasn't been contoured(it almost never is). I just make sure I talk with the doc about that first before going that route. [/QUOTE]
