title: The implant-supported, heat-processed provisional fixed partial denture.
abstract: When fabricating an implant-supported fixed partial denture a provisional prosthesis is commonly required for function and esthetics. A laboratory-fabricated, heat-polymerized provisional restoration will provide excellent fit, function, esthetics, and durability while saving chair time. This article describes the clinical and laboratory procedures for the fabrication of the implant-supported, heat-processed provisional fixed partial denture.
