Article Abstract

This clinical report describes the rehabilitation of a maxillary edentulous arch with a current overdenture attachment system with angulated prefabricated abutments and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) inserts. Prefabricated angulated abutments were used on previously and recently placed diverging implants, which enabled a common path of insertion for the overdenture to be established during fabrication.
