Converting an acrylic resin removable complete prosthesis into a fixed implant-supported prosthesis to immediately load the implants can be a challenging procedure. Using acrylic resin to secure titanium interim copings intraorally may be a difficult task, and any process to facilitate this procedure may be advantageous for the clinician and the patient. This report describes a technique for facilitating the fabrication of an interim immediately loaded implant-supported fixed complete prosthesis.

Purpose: To compare the clinical success of a self-adhesive resin cement used in combination with different adhesive bonding systems with that of a conventional dual-cure resin cement.
Methods: The study was performed with 136 freshly extracted molars embedded in acrylic resin blocks and 136 IPS e.max Press discs.
This clinical report describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient with a partially edentulous maxilla and compromised mandibular anatomy caused by resection of bone due to basal cell carcinoma. Placement of a fibula bone graft was followed by placement of 2 implants. The implants were malpositioned in the anteroposterior plane due to the altered form of the alveolar bone.
