Organizing multiple and varied implant components in preparation for providing treatment for a patient with a complex implant prosthesis can be a challenge to even the most experienced practitioner. The many implant abutment component options available, especially when different sizes and types of abutments will be used in 1 arch, can create confusion for both dentist and assistant, hindering chairside efficiency. This article describes the fabrication and use of a custom chairside implant components organizer.
