The most important issue with the upper structure is the development and improvement of high precision components. With regard to selection of abutments, parts should be chosen that are appropriate for the distance between the implant and the gingival margin, the inclination of the adjacent teeth, and the distance between the implant and opposing teeth. The emergence profile must also be considered. Since the IMZ implant does not have a hex type connector with an antirotational mechanism, something to prevent rotation must be fixed to the abutment when a single implant is placed.
We report a case where we employed a trial and error technique to deal with these problems of a single implant.
