An implant-supported rehabilitation case using innovative provisional restoration design and conversion as diagnostic and treatment modalities

N Y State Dent J. 2005 Jun-Jul;71(4):43-6.

Abstract

This article reviews and details a maxillary anterior implant-supported rehabilitation case that required an interdisciplinary approach. An innovative technique is presented, in which a transitional acrylic and wrought wire removable partial denture was converted at chairside to a provisional fixed bridge on the day of Stage II implant surgery. This technique underscores and illustrates the importance of diagnosis, planning, and sequential, coordinated treatment in dental rehabilitation.
