Abstract
- Abstract: 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 interim prostheses have been described in the literature. This report describes an alternative technique that uses a duplicate denture made of self‐curing acrylic resin to fabricate an implant‐supported fixed interim prosthesis. The interim prosthesis was later used as a blueprint for the definitive implant‐supported hybrid prosthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
