Aim: To make use of fiber-reinforced composite and the patient's own extracted teeth in fabricating a provisional restoration following immediate implant placement.
Background: Fiber-reinforced composites offer various possibilities in temporization of osseointegrating implants in the esthetic zone.
Technique: In this chairside technique, the patient's own extracted teeth with fiber-reinforced composite were used to fabricate a provisional restoration after immediate implant placement.
Conclusion: A putty index was made before extracting the teeth and placing the implants as planned. The index and crowns of the extracted teeth were used to make a nonloading, esthetic, chair-side provisional restoration after immediate implant placement.
Clinical Significance: By using the patient's own teeth for pro-visionalization immediately after implant placement, acceptance is greatly enhanced.
