Published: October 2002

Based on the need for provisionalization to provide sufficient phonetics, adaptation, and function following implant therapy, simultaneous placement of immediate provisional implants has evolved to allow abutment positioning following initial surgery. This modality allows the patient to be restored with a stable, functional, and aesthetic restoration during soft tissue healing prior to the removal of the provisional implants. This article presents the clinical protocol for treatment of the edentulous mandible using an immediately provisionalized implant supported overdenture.
