Implant concepts continue to evolve not only in terms of materials, surfaces, and designs but also in clinical experience and technical management. This article presents a clinical and laboratory procedure describing how to plan, ensure, and achieve proper spatial dimension in fabricating definitive implant-supported prostheses with the use of 3 different matrices. This will in turn aid in restoring the patient with a predictable outcome from the outset of the treatment.
