Often in bilateral posterior edentulous situations bilateral splinting becomes necessary. This case shows six remaining teeth with both central incisors being extremely loose, fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows the healed tissues around each double posted bladevent. The teeth were prepared for full coverage and both central incisors were removed, fig. 3. Castings were fitted, fig. 4, an interocclusal record of centric relationship was taken with Citricon, fig. 5, and the copings were picked up with a plaster index, fig. 6. The full arch fixed restoration was fitted and cemented into place, figs. 7, 8, 9, 10. A panoramic x-ray is taken post operatively, fig. 11.
