The Ball Welding Bar: A New Solution for the Immediate Loading of Screw-Retained, Mandibular Fixed Full Arch Prostheses

Figure 9

The vacuum-formed template was placed over the bar to control the occlusal fairness and to verify the previously measured vertical dimension (a). Holes were made on the prosthesis, using the vacuum-formed template already perforated in the direction of the cylinders, in order to access to the cylinders themselves (b). The prosthesis was relined with composite resin flow (c).
