Recent advances in implant abutment interface design purport to offer more repeatable, accurate abutment connection. Improved circumferential indexing of the abutments along with a decrease in micromovement may result in a more predictable fit of cement‐retained implant prostheses through a simple variation of soldering technique. A technique for developing a more accurate soldering relationship is described.
