Figures 7–15. Figure 7. Before closure, titanium UCLA abutments are placed into each implant. Figure 8. The wound is sutured around each abutment. Figure 9. The titanium bar is positioned for a second time, on this occasion over the abutments. Figure 10. The openings and fenestrations on the bar and between the bar and the abutments are filled with autopolymerizing resin. Figure 11. A silicone impression is used to transfer the assembly to an articulator. Figure 12. Spot welding is performed at each resin site, which attaches the abutments to the bar. Figure 13. Teeth and gingivae are waxed to the bar, and the occlusion is adjusted on the articulator. Lingual holes are placed at the requisite cingular sites to permit access to the fixation screws. Figure 14. The fixed prosthesis is delivered and affixed to the implants with screws. The screw holes are covered. Figure 15. The completed case (with the sutures in evidence) shows the occlusal relationships, the fixed mandibular superstructure, and the superstructure's opposing complete maxillary denture
