In most dental implant cases a permanent bond is used such as resin cement and polycarboxylate cement. A temp-bond have sufficient strength if splinting more than 3 abutments with a height of more than 6 mm. Problem is temp-bond has limited durability and it should be replaced with a permanent adhesive. Rough surface abutment and resin cement are used if the abutment length is as short as 4mm.
In full mouth reconstruction with dental implants, one-piece splint is no longer necessary. The dispersal of stress during mastication is effectively enabled by improvement of implant designs such as development of progressive power threading, tapered body and internal connections. FPD is fabricated in 2 to 4 pieces depending on the length, diameter, number and path of placement of dental implant, thus, passive and more accurate fit can be obtained.
