Creating Esthetic Harmony with Nonloading, Fixed Provisional Restoration using Extracted Teeth after Immediate Implant Placement
ABSTRACT Aim To make use of fiber-reinforced composite and the patient's own extracted teeth in fabricating a provisional restoration following immediate implant placement. Background Fiber-reinforced composites offer various possibilities in temporization of osseointegrating implants in the esthetic zone. Technique In this chairside technique, the patient's own extracted teeth with fiber-reinforced composite were used to fabricate a provisional restoration after immediate implant placement. Conclusion A putty index was made before extracting the teeth and placing the implants as planned. The index and crowns of the extracted teeth were used to make a nonloading, esthetic, chairside provisional restoration after immediate implant placement. Clinical significance By using the patient's own teeth for provisionalization immediately after implant placement, acceptance is greatly enhanced.
