Abstract

Locating the screw channel in a cement-retained implant-supported crown is challenging. This article describes a fully digital workflow for fabricating a 3D printed template which can accurately guide the dentist to find the screw channel. A definitive implant cast from the patient and an implant planning software program are used in the workflow. This technique provides precise guidance for finding the location and angulation of the abutment screw access hole.
