Provisional Solution
Preparing the Temporary Abutment
Provisional Crown/Bridge
A prefabricated crown or a previously
prepared crown can be adapted to the
situation by lining it with acrylic.
The insertion direction of the crown,
indicated by the adjacent teeth, rarely
matches the orientation of the implant
tube. Because of this, bridge structures
should not be fabricated in one piece
with the temporary abutment. Work on
this must be performed extra-orally. All
other procedures in the fabrication of
temporary solutions are similar to those
used in crown and bridge restoration.
Inserting the Temporary Abutment
Disinfect and sterilize the prosthetic
components prior to insertion. Clean the
inside of the implant with water spray,
check for residues, and allow to dry.
Insert the temporary abutment into the
implant and rotate it until the cams
engage with the implant grooves. Handtighten
the abutment screw and seal the
screw channel with easily removable
material. Do not use composite since
drilling it out would be required in order
to remove the screw. Make sure that the
screw channel is not overfilled; the surface
should be concave. Remove all
cement residues.
