Indexing and soldering an implant bar can be a troublesome procedure. The expansion of the soldering investment may result in an inaccurate fit of the implant framework over the abutments or the implant heads. To overcome the distortion of the implant framework during soldering, a simple procedure for connecting the implant framework parts is described where the connector joints are cast-to rather than soldered.
