A dental implant impression confirmation system utilizes one or more telescoping
crossbrace members. Each crossbrace links one coping to an adjacent coping. The
ends of the telescoping crossbraces include tubular eyelets or collars which each
attach to a coping by snap-fit. The crossbraces further include articulated joints
at each end to accommodate attachment between copings which are not parallel. The
crossbrace members are preferably composed of a semi-rigid material such as plastic
which permits resilience of the confirmation system to allow for the withdrawal
of the copings from the implants while supplying sufficient rigidity to enhance
the accuracy of the impression.
