Resumo
Because of the functional and esthetic requirements of patients, different techniques have been proposed to reduce the time between dental implant placement and interim restoration fabrication. This article describes a modified indexing technique by using a surgical template for open-tray impression and definitive cast development during immediate loading procedures. This technique does not use a complete impression of the oral cavity and, therefore, is more comfortable, less time consuming, and less expensive. It also allows the fabrication of interim restorations with the optimal shape for developing an adequate emergence profile.
