Options for the fabrication of provisional restorations for ITI solid abutments

Dentists’ Most Common Practices when Selecting an Implant System

“…Temporary abutments provide an economic modality that can be easily adjusted to support an interim prosthesis at the time of implant placement instead of using the final abutments as temporary ones . Moreover, they provide soft tissue support around the implant during the healing period …”

Plastic Temporary Abutments with Provisional Restorations in Immediate Loading Procedures: A Clinical Report

“…[1][2][3] Techniques for incremental loading can be used either directly or indirectly after second-stage surgery. 4,5 Others have described similar techniques involving tissue contour development and esthetic concerns.…”

Immediate implantation in the maxillary esthetic zone: results from two decades of clinical research

“…In addition, the possibility of osseointegration failure increases because of transmucosal loads. Several advantages have been attributed to implantsupported fixed provisional restorations after second-stage surgery: (1) improved tissue contours related to emergence profile, (2) development of an interdental or interimplant papillae,(3) potential avoidance of a third surgical operation, (4) fixation of the prosthesis, and (5)customization during the healing process to form an esthetically contoured prosthesis [44][45][46]. Techniques for incremental loading can be used either directly or indirectly after second-stage surgery [47,48].…”
