Prefabricated acrylic resin bars for splinting implant transfer copings

Splinting of implant transfer copings with acrylic resin during impression procedures is performed to accurately transfer the spatial relationships of implants to the master cast. However, distortion may occur during the splinting procedure because of resin polymerization shrinkage. This article des...

Description
Summary:	Splinting of implant transfer copings with acrylic resin during impression procedures is performed to accurately transfer the spatial relationships of implants to the master cast. However, distortion may occur during the splinting procedure because of resin polymerization shrinkage. This article describes a simple technique for minimizing this effect by fabrication of resin bars. (J Prosthet Dent 2000;84:108-10.)
