Angulated Implants for Fabrication of Implant Supported Fixed Partial Denture in the Maxilla

Until recently, angled abutments have been the only solution to correcting the trajectory of the emergence profile of labially inclined implants in the maxilla. However, the clinical implications of angled abutments reveal several shortcomings. Newly designed angulated implants with a 12-degree rest...
