6.  Optimal - straight abutments
Little or no bone lose.
 Borderline - up to 15º angled abutment
Moderate bone resorption.
 Difficult - 20º and more angled abutment
Important bone lose.

10. Evaluation

11.  Division of the edentulous space is one of the first steps of the
planning which determines the location of the future implants.
 Light or light-moderate bone lose in the posterior area seldom
requires wax up.
 Moderate or Heavy bone lose should be diagnosed with aid of
diagnostic wax up to create favorable conditions to restore the
esthetics.
 The results of the evaluation should determine the necessity of
angled abutments or even bone graft.
