When the anterior teeth flare out too much preventing paralleling them with the posterior posts of implants, the bridgework can be done in three quadrants rather than one. Cantilevered pontics are included in the anterior portion and are made to sit vertical to the horizontal plane in order to facilitate paralleling the blade posts to them, figs. 96, 97. The anterior portion of both unilateral superstructures contain telescopic crowns which are cemented directly over the pontics thus creating the same effect as if the restoration was a full arch splint, figs. 98, 99, 100. A final x-ray, fig. 101.

A pre-operative photograph of another case, fig. 102. With this case, fig. 103, some of my newer designed blades were used, figs. 104, 105, 106. A porcelain full arch restoration was the prosthesis of choice, figs. 107, 108. The completed x-ray, fig. 109.
