Abstract
Unfavorable inclination of implants is a common problem that may compromise esthetics, phonetics, and function of the implant-supported fixed prosthesis. Several methods have been reported to compensate for malaligned implants; however, most techniques are complicated and expensive. A technique that combines a custom abutment from a hexed UCLA-type plastic burn-out pattern and a manually threaded setscrew hole is a relatively inexpensive and uncomplicated approach to eliminate problems caused by unfavorable implant inclination. This article describes the procedures for fabrication of an implant-supported fixed prosthesis with the use of this technique.
