Effect of Splinting on Dimensional Accuracy of Impressions Made of Implants with Different Subgingival Alignments

摘要

PurposePlacement of implants at deeper levels of gingiva is sometimes inevitable because of issues like esthetics or bone availability. The accuracy of impressions may be affected in these situations. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of splinting and length of impression copings on the accuracy of impressions made of deeply placed implants.
