Application of intraoral welding technique in edentulous implant restoration

doi:10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2021.04.008

Abstract

Abstract: Immediate restoration after implant placement in edentulous patients can provide quick esthetic and function rehabilitation. So far there are still some problems in the fabrication of immediate prosthesis such as inefficiency of the prevention of implant micromovements. The fabrication usually takes much time. Intraoralwelding technique can be utilized to splint implants and shorten the time of immediate prosthesis welding the implant abutments and titanium bar in the oral cavity. This paper reviews the intraoral welding technique including its development history, principle, advantages, disadvantages and prospects..

Key words: Edentulous, Immediate restoration, Intraoral welding technique
