Abstract

Dental implant rehabilitation has become a common treatment modality. Attempts to increase the predictability and success rate of implants are constantly advocated. Syncrystallization/Intra-oral welding is one such method that has the potential to enhance treatment outcomes. Welding the implants together not only promotes undisturbed healing but also creates an even distribution of forces. A case series is presented, demonstrating the use of an intra-oral welder to create splinting of dental implants for the rehabilitation of the full mouth and segmental rehabilitation. Immediate implant placement was performed in the cases, followed by intra-oral welding. The welding technique has proven to be effective for the immediate stabilization and loading of dental implants.
