A maxillary screw-retained, implant-supported diagnostic wax pattern☆☆☆

School of Dentistry, Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, Calif.

Abstract 

This article describes the fabrication of a screw-retained, implant-supported wax pattern that enables the restorative dentist to predict the outcome of the final prosthesis. The wax pattern also affords the patient an opportunity to evaluate and approve the design of the planned prosthesis, thereby enhancing communication between the dentist and patient.
