Evaluation with a Coordinate-Measuring Machine of Dimensional Accuracy of the Abutment Duplication Technique in Cement- Retained Implant Restoration.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of a proposed duplication technique in terms of one- and three-dimensional discrepancies between an original abutment and polyurethane duplicates obtained through a conventional workflow in single-implant rehabilitation.

Materials And Methods: A titanium, shoulderless abutment was chosen for a single-implant cemented rehabilitation. The master cast was made using a plastic-based die system, and the implant portion was separated.
