A Technique to Fabricate an Interim Implant-Supported Fixed Complete Denture for Immediate Loading.

Converting an acrylic resin removable complete prosthesis into a fixed implant-supported prosthesis to immediately load the implants can be a challenging procedure. Using acrylic resin to secure titanium interim copings intraorally may be a difficult task, and any process to facilitate this procedure may be advantageous for the clinician and the patient. This report describes a technique for facilitating the fabrication of an interim immediately loaded implant-supported fixed complete prosthesis. This technique and the materials used enabled the efficient fabrication and delivery of the prosthesis with an appropriate soft-tissue surface and acrylic resin thickness without irritating newly sutured soft tissues.
