Abstract :
Dental implant rehabilitation has become a common treatment modality. Attempts to increase the predictability and success rate of implants are constantly been advocated. Syncrystallization/ Intra-oral welding is one such method that has the potential to enhance treatment outcomes. Welding the implants together not only favors undisturbed healing but also creates even distribution of forces. A case series is presented demonstrating the use of intra-oral welder to create splinting of dental implants for rehabilitation of 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 immediate stabilization and loading of dental implants.
