Objective: An immediate complete denture is fabricated before the extraction of all teeth. It has several advantages such as preservation of esthetics, muscular tone, normal speech and reduction of post-operative pain. This report describes a method of using patient’s current fixed partial denture (FPD) for single-appointment construction of interim immediate denture. Case: We used patient’s ex...

The aim of the present clinical report was to describe the use of a patient's extensive fixed prosthesis, where the supporting teeth were hopeless, for fabricating an interim immediate complete denture. The present procedure was used to replicate the vertical dimension, phonetic and aesthetic of the existing fixed prostheses as part of an immediate denture and a final complete denture.

A procedure is described for fabricating an immediate complete overdenture where several teeth retain an interim fixed partial denture (FPD) until the complete denture is finished. Nonessential posterior teeth were first extracted. An interim fixed restoration was fitted to five strategic teeth, and the four maxillary incisors were reduced to the gingival margin. The reduced teeth and the maxil...

The information contained in an interim implant-supported fixed acrylic resin complete denture is a starting point for fabricating the definitive restoration. Duplicating this information in an expedient, precise, and sanitary fashion is desirable so that the interim restoration can be returned to the waiting patient. A technique is described to fabricate an accurate definitive polyvinyl siloxa...

Figure 1. Fractured maxillary metal-resin fixed complete-arch implantsupported prosthesis. Patient had been treated by another provider and did not have interim or conversion prosthesis. Complete-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses are known to be an excellent solution for edentulism. Although new, stronger materials have evolved, the metal-resin prosthesis using a combination of cast or mi...

The fabrication of an implant-supported fixed complete denture prosthesis involves multiple clinical and laboratory steps. One of the main steps is to provide the patient with an interim fixed prosthesis to evaluate the patient's esthetic and functional needs as well as to enhance the patient's psychology before proceeding to the definitive prosthesis. Different techniques for fabricating inter...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study was to investigate denture satisfaction related to treatment modality, age, gender, denture quality, chewing ability, denture experience and patients' attitude towards denture wearing. METHODS In a randomized controlled clinical trial 74 patients who required immediate denture therapy were treated either with complete immediate dentures, or with complete im...
