Brief summary

comparing the changes in the soft tissue around the implants that will be joined by a metal framework either with electric welding or with the conventional casting method

Detailed description

as joining multiple implants by a metal framework considered a solid solution for edentulous arches , but in the same time the conventional method to weld this metal framework to the implants by casting technique in lab usually involves a several disadvantages eg. cost and time consuming in addition to laboratory errors, Thus , this study aims to find another method to weld the metal framework intraorally by an electric welding device
