Abstract
To determine the vertical dimension and centric relation during the construction of implant overdentures, the record base and wax rim may need to be adjusted. The conventional method has several drawbacks, as it requires repeated tightening and loosening of the impression coping. Here, we report a useful and novel method for interocclusal records using the healing abutments in implant overdentures. Our case demonstrates that this method is easier and simpler and prevents gingival collapse.Keywords
