About
Alf Eliasson is a leading figure in restorative dentistry and implant prosthodontics, with a focused expertise in precision impression techniques and digital workflows for dental implants. His most cited work, "The Accuracy of an Implant Impression Technique Using Digitally Coded Healing Abutments" (2011, 56 citations), represents a landmark contribution to the field. In this study, Eliasson rigorously evaluated the accuracy of working cast fabrication using the Encode healing abutment system—a novel approach where digitally coded information on abutment length and diameter is captured through conventional impressions, followed by robotic analogue placement. His research demonstrated that this technique could achieve clinically acceptable accuracy, offering a streamlined alternative to traditional implant-level impressions. This work has been instrumental in advancing digital and semi-digital protocols in implant dentistry, reducing chair time and technical complexity while maintaining precision. Eliasson’s contributions have shaped contemporary implant restorative practices, and his findings continue to guide clinicians and researchers seeking reliable, efficient methods for implant impressioning. His scholarship underscores a commitment to evidence-based innovation in prosthetic dentistry.
