Title: An alternative direct technique for the fabrication of an implant-supported, screw-retained fixed interim restoration
Abstract: The interim implant restoration is an essential part of implant treatment, particularly in the anterior region. Various types of interim restorations have been described, such as soft tissue and/or tooth-supported removable prostheses, tooth-supported fixed prostheses, and implant-supported fixed restorations. 1 Priest G Esthetic potential of single implant provisional restorations: selection criteria of available alternatives.
