Abstract:
Restorative material options for implant-supported complete fixed dental prostheses (ICFDP) have progressed from traditional metal-acrylic or metal-ceramic combinations to today's monolithic zirconia or high-performance polymer designs. To avoid potential errors that may be introduced into the restorative process in the interim phase and to provide a more predictable clinical outcome of the definitive ICFDP, a clinical protocol utilizing a prototype prosthesis is described in this case report.
