A clinical case is described to show the properties of laser welding in implant prostheses related to versatility and flexibility at the time of modification of prosthetic abutments. The technique consists of adding a cast titanium fragment to a prepared titanium abutment with laser welding, joining them together in order to achieve more volume of metal beneath ceramic in single-crown implant-retained restorations.
