ABSTRACT
Buccolingual Angulation of the Implant Figures 9.7 and 9.8 demonstrate the potential variation in implant angulation. The implant can be placed in the same long axis as the crown. This is shown in Figure 9.7A with the implant/crown at the average angle from the Frankfurt plane of 1108. The long axis of the implant and abutment passes through the incisal tip of the crown. This is a common situation and dictates that the crown is cemented to the abutment. In many cases the profile of the bone ridge dictates a more labial inclination of the implant.
