Abstract:
This article describes the fabrication of a provisional implant-supported, screw-retained restoration for immediate loading of a completely edentulous arch. The technique can be applied to patients with partially edentulous arches as well. Until immediate loading of dental implants becomes a well-documented treatment modality, the described method should not be applied on a routine basis or without careful evaluation.
