N1 - A stable record base is essential for accurate interocclusal centric relation records in a completely edentulous patient. In implant prosthodontics, several procedures have been suggested for the fabrication of a stable record base. However, these procedures necessitate removal of the healing abutments during the interocclusal record procedure and the trial denture placement, which makes the procedures tedious and time-consuming.

N2 - A stable record base is essential for accurate interocclusal centric relation records in a completely edentulous patient. In implant prosthodontics, several procedures have been suggested for the fabrication of a stable record base. However, these procedures necessitate removal of the healing abutments during the interocclusal record procedure and the trial denture placement, which makes the procedures tedious and time-consuming. When the implant-prosthesis interface is subgingival, the patient may also experience discomfort during these procedures. This article describes a procedure for fabricating a stable record base that uses the healing abutments, which eliminates the necessity of the healing abutment removal and its consequences. Advantages and disadvantages of this procedure are also discussed.
