Abstract

The aim of this report is to describe a simple method for reestablishing the proximal contact loss in implant-retained fixed restorations. A mesial proximal box was added to the framework design for the implant-retained restoration. The modified framework was fabricated and the definitive crown was completed in the conventional manner. The adequate mesial proximal contact was established by adding a light-curing composite resin in the mesial box. The proper proximal contact can easily be reestablished by unscrewing the abutment screw and filling the mesial proximal metal box with the composite resin, if a loss of the proximal contact occurs between the natural dentition and the implant restoration. This technique allows for an easy and practical approach for clinicians when repairing the loss of proximal contact in implant-retained prostheses.
