Segmental framework matrix: master cast verification, corrected cast guide, and analog transfer template for implant-supported prostheses.

A procedure is presented whereby a sectioned acrylic resin framework pattern for an implant-supported prosthesis is used for multiple purposes. It captures the three-dimensional spacial relationship of a dental implant. It acts as an analog transfer template, corrected cast guide, and a rigid scaffolding for the actual sculpting of the framework pattern.
