Full Arch / Bicon Integrated Abutment Crowns™: Ten Maxillary Restorations
This case exemplifies the ease with which technicians and dentists can achieve excellent aesthetics even when the implants are not ideally positioned. The revolutionary concept of integrated abutment crowns is only possible because the 360 degrees of universal positioning available with Bicon abutments. The ease of treatment is evidenced by the fact that only eleven minutes of patient chair-time was necessary for the insertion of the ten integrated abutment crowns™ after they were returned from the dental technician.
