Fabrication of a Fixed Provisional Implant Restoration A Report of Three Cases

Abstract - A clinical problem for patients with posterior partial edentulism who are going to be treated with dental implants is provisionalization during the period of soft and hard tissues preparation, the period of osseointegration and construction of the final restoration. Up to now, the available solutions were either the construction of a removable prosthesis or immediate loading of implants. The purpose of this article is to present an alternative technique for fabricating a fixed provisional restoration in patients with posterior partial edentulism. It is referred to as a teethtissue supported restoration which retention and support is provided from prepared or unprepared teeth while support also is gained from the maxillary tubercles or the retromolar pads of the upper and lower jaws.

KEY WORDS: posterior edentulism, transitional prosthesis, implants, maxillary tubercle, retromolar pads
