Wrap Around Hybrid

The client has requested a fixed implant hybrid to be designed for the maxillary arch on 7 implants. Based on the requirements an Osteon Titanium wrap around bar was chosen.

The characteristics of this arrangement allowed for a profile that will incorporate a precision milled implant bar with individual tooth retention. This bar was also ionized gold. The benefit of choosing this surface treatment allows for the possibility to reduce or even eliminate the need to use traditional opaque on the framework which can lead to weakness in the acrylic bond strength between the two materials.
