A method for fabricating an implant-based dental restoration includes
attaching an abutment analog to a dental implant contained in a patient's
mouth in an angularly indexed fashion. After an impression is made, an
implant analog will be attached to the abutment analog, which is
contained within the impression, and the assembled impression, including
the abutment analog, including an impression coping and abutment base,
will be employed along with the implant analog to make a model of a
patient's mouth structure, including thread-timed implant analogs, to
permit fabrication of an angle-corrected dental restoration device in a
laboratory.
