A crucial aspect for successful outcome of implant supported restoration is it's accurate fit. The implant and the prosthetic component have precise machine fit, thus small discrepancies can lead to stress applied to the implants when connecting the restoration. The accuracy of the master cast is of great significance and depends on both clinical and laboratory factors. The purpose of this article is to discuss the various materials and methods available for impressions and the effect of implants' location, number and angulations on the accuracy of the impressions.
