Pick-up Impression of Complete Arch Implant-Supported Interim Prosthesis

“…T he use of implant-supported interim or provisional prostheses is a vital component in achieving predictable restorative outcomes for both partially and completely edentulous patients. [1][2][3][4] Interim prostheses provide valuable information regarding the esthetics and function prior to the fabrication of the definitive prostheses. 4 The form, size, contours, and alignment of the teeth can be confirmed clinically in dynamic and static conditions.…”

“…Likewise, the assessment of phonetics and occlusion can also be clinically confirmed in such conditions. [2][3][4][5] Interim prostheses can be used to shape the peri-implant soft tissues to develop the most esthetic soft tissue architecture and provide hygiene access. 1,3,4,6 Modifications and corrections can easily be made to interim prostheses to meet the specific functional and esthetic requirements.…”

“…2,4,6 The success of implant-supported prostheses depends on the precise reproduction of the hard and soft tissues, and the implant position to the laboratory. 3,7 Definitive impression is a critical step in this reproduction process and plays a significant role in the outcome of the prosthesis and longterm success. [8][9][10][11] The 2 main categories for implant impressions include the pickup (also known as direct or open-tray impression), and the transfer (also known as indirect or closedtray impression.…”
