To achieve optimal prosthetic rehabilitation these tilted implants need to be re-angulated. The Neoss Angulation Gauge was used to measure the degree of angulation (Figure 10). Angulated Neoss Access Abutments Figure 9 Figure 11 Figure 13 Figure 15 Figure 10 Figure 12 Figure 14 Figure 16 were connected to the implants to align the prosthesis interfaces and thereby making it easier to achieve a passive fit of the prosthesis (Figure 11 – 12). No soft tissue grafting was needed. Neoss Access PEEK Healing Abutments were placed on the Access abutments (Figure 13) before suturing the flap with PGA sutures (Figure 14).
