Making an implant-level impression when implants are placed in limited interproximal space or compromising angulations can be a time-consuming procedure. This article presents a new method for developing a master cast for two implants clinically placed convergent and very close to each other. The technique consists of making an implant-level impression using a transfer jig fabricated on dental abutments. © 2012 by the American College of Prosthodontists.
